I love this question, CF.  I'm going to sit on my answers for a while, because most of mine are the same as yours.

[Phishfan]

I think many of us are going to come up with similar lists, so I'm just going to mention my changes

Running Back (Nat Moore played receiver): Ricky Williams
Receiver: Clayton & O.J. McDuffie (this may be my hardest category to pick)
Tight End: Bruce Hardy
Offensive Tackle: Webb & Jake Long (would have been really special if he had kicked the injury bug)

Defensive End: Taylor & Cameron Wake
Middle Linebacker: John Offerdahl (I chose his number on my personalized jersey)

_Yes he did ... hahaha. I meant Mercury Morris but obviously I wanted to find a way to Nat in the game!

[DaLittle B]

Most of my "different answers" are because I probably got to see the most games with them....
WR- Irving Fryer,O.J. Mcduffie,and Orande Gadsden
FB/Te - Keith Byars
DE- Marco Coleman-Cameron Wake
OLB/DE Jason Taylor
K-Pete Stoyanovich
DB - Patrick Surtain -Troy Vincent
Safety- Brock Marion- Initially I had Louis Oliver as my other safety,but I'm going with Reshad Jones

My one addition

Slot receiver: Wes Welker

Ya never should of let him go.

Not like it would have mattered...there was never anyone who could throw to him on MIA anyways.  At least form a Dolphins fan's perspective.  NE perspective, a little different.

I thought they had to because of a condition in the contract that would have guaranteed him an exorbitant amount of money if he played more than a few games in the state of Florida?

[dolphins4life]

Here is mine so far.

QB:  Griese, the only Dolphins quarterback to have won a Super Bowl with the team.  This is staying consistent with my new direction.  Marino never won a Super Bowl, so he by default is not as good as Griese. 

RB:  Williams, who holds just about every Dolphins rushing record.

WR:  Mark Clayton and Mark Super Duper

K:  Jay Feeley, who had a good season in his one year with the team.  (Sorry, I can't give to it Olindo, "I can't make a field against the Patriots" Mare.)

DE:  Jason Taylor

MLB:  Zach Thomas

CB:  Patrick Surtain and Terrell Buckley.  (Remember the latter had 50 career interceptions)

Coach:  Not Shula, because that would be like giving a Business of the Year award to a business owner who exploited and mistreated his workers.  I give it to Wannestedt because he won a division, had two playoff appearances, and it's hard to think of a dumb decision he made in a game.  As for the bad drafts, well, hindsight is twenty-twenty.  Remember, Miami could have drafted the entire Patriots receiving corps AND Gronkowski. 

(Note, if you want to criticize this selection, I ask that you provide a specific example of a bad in-game decision that Wannestedt made)

Olindo Mare isn't the #1 Fins kicker of all time. Stoyovanich and Garo were both much better kickers

Holy crap talk about re-writing history. If Miami didn't trade him then they would have lost him and got nothing in return because of the "Poison Pill" Offer Sheet NE made.

Plus, how many rings did he win in NE? Right...none. But he did drop a game winning Super Bowl Catch and cost them a ring.

That was withdrawn and Welker was traded. It seems even New England realized that was a dirty trick.

This isn't a knock but to me it seems like you have an unusual memory. To most people this is like asking them what shoes you wore to your first day of school (unless you remember that as well).

Where do I start?  You must be the only person alive who thinks Griese was a better QB than Marino, regardless of Superbowl wins.

Williams I agree with

Mark brothers, I agree with

I liked t-Buck, but he paled in comparison to Sam Madison

Feely doesn't even sniff top 3 kickers for the phins.  You could have picked Mare, Stoyovanich or Garo.

...and the big one...

Wannestedt....really?  The reason isn't he did anything 'wrong', it's just he didn't do anything 'right' either.  He had arguably the most talented roster in the NFL, and couldn't make it to a Superbowl because he was so overtly conservative.  He caused Ricky Williams to retire (he would have smoked his way out anyways, but you can still blame Dave for leaning on him waaaay too much).  He wouldn't even try to find a better QB than Fiedler.


....but you are entitled to your opinion, even as flawed as your logic is.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

I have never claimed the Dolphins mistake occurred at the time of the WW trade.  The fuck up was low balling a 2nd round RFA tender rather than a first round tender or a long term deal.
