The one player that I think should be in the hall of fame is LB Zach Thomas.

I agree on Zach, and wonder about the Clayton Bros.

It depends on how stringent you're being with who's considered a former Dolphin.
Brandon Marshall could make it in. He's 18th on the league's all time receptions list, with 941, and will very likely join select company with 1000 catches this season. Everyone who currently has reached that mark is or will be in the HOF. But Marshall only played two seasons for Miami, the team was mediorce while he was here, and he holds no team records.
Wes Welker is 21st on the league's reception list. Even though he played more games for Miami than he did Denver, few other than Dolphins fans will even remember that he played for the Fins. He won a Super Bowl ring with two different franchises, and has a shot, but he won't go in as a Dolphin.
Ricky Williams became the 29th player to run for 10,000 yards in his career, much of it with Miami. The overwhelming majority of the players ahead of him on the list are or will be in the HOF, but he has no chance due to the off the field aspects of his life.
Zach absolutely belongs in the HOF. I think that he has a chance, but the love for Lewis and Urlacher by the media will hurt him, as he's unfairly seen as being inferior to those two by many. He's the only retired player who was really known as a Dolphin who belongs.dolphin25 likes this. -

I agree Zach belongs in- what about Offerdahl? Or is he already in? I think Offerdahl was better than Zach was, although they're both amazing. That's not something I've kept up with though. -
He's not a guy that will ever even get onto the Dolphins Ring of Honor, let alone be considered for the HOF. We complain about Koa Misi, but the two have very similar careers, honestly. And anyone would laugh at the idea that Misi deserves that kind of honor.
By comparrison, Zach played in 184 games, as opposed to 86 for Offerdahl. He had 17 picks, including for for TDs. 16 FFs, 8 FRs, 20.5 sacks, and 38 passes defensed. Tackles weren't an official tracked stat during Offerdahl's career, but Zach ended up with 1100 solo, and 627 assists.Last edited: Jul 10, 2017dolphin25, Tin Indian and Finster like this. -

Misi will never play for Phins again -

Richmond Webb, 7 time Pro Bowler, anchor of the Offensive Line protecting Marino's blindside at left tackle. If ANY Dolphin deserves to be in the HOF, it's him!
Dick Anderson, as a member of the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins and the famed "No Name Defense", he and Nick Bounicotti reeked havoc on opposing offenses. Anderson was selected to three consecutive Pro Bowls in 1972, '73 and '74. -

I'm sure he will be part of camp through early Aug -

Zach deserves it, and will get in, 7 PBs and 5 APs and massive stats.
I'm surprised Nick hasn't gotten in yet, 8 PBs and 5 APs, he needs someone to campaign for him.
These are the only 2 Fins I think deserve the HoF, Webb was a great pass blocker, but was pretty one dimensional, Dick made big plays a lot, unfortunately he made them for both teams, which is why in 2 of his 3 seasons where he had 8 INTs(yes, 8 INTs in a 14 game season), he failed to make the PB.
Offerdahl was an excellent LB with very short range, people complain that Misi isn't fast enough, lol, he could run circles around Offerdahl, and Offerdahl was even more injury prone than Misi, JO was much better than Misi but still a long way from the HoF. -

1984 was his last year and he was on IR, but still.
Call it the Kuechenberg Curse! LOL!Last edited: Jul 10, 2017ChrisKo, Unlucky 13 and dolphin25 like this. -

I would have to agree Bob Kuechenbeg should also be in the HOF. Quite an impressive Guard. He retired the year I was born in. Also Richmond Webb too.

You cite Richmond Webb being a one dimensional blocker however, the Dolphins during Marino's heyday were a one dimensional team. Webb belongs in the HOF.
Why the "hate" against Anderson puzzles me; 2x Super Bowl Champion, 3x Pro Bowls, 3x All Pro, NFL Rookie of the Year, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, 1970's All Decade Team. But seeing how the "Old Timers" are going to get passed over since it seems today's measuring stick is used, he'll probably never be selected...at least not in his lifetime.Puka-head likes this. -

Webb and Keuch are the two that stand out for me. Keuch, you could make a case as the best guard of that era. Webb, was probably 2nd after Munoz at his position during his era.
I've had the debate about ZT before. I don't see him as a HOFER. That's all I'm going to say. I loved watching him. I want him to get in, but I'd be a little surprised if it happened. That's all I'm going to say so old debates don't get rehashed.jdang307 and Tin Indian like this. -

Clearly, he's referring to the Clayton Brothers Jazz Trio! Although I admit that even though they won a Grammy, I'm not sure that they belong in the Jazz Hall of Fame. :knucks:Lloyd Heilbrunn likes this.
