Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Miami Dolphins.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

1. Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Dolphins were a playoff team for the first time since 2016. Saying that, only one current player climbed the rank, and there were no new entrants.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Dan Marino

2. Jason Taylor

3. Zach Thomas

4. Bob Griese

5. Jim Langer

You can find the entire list here.

The only movement was Cornerback, Xavien Howard, who went up by three to #28.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Washington Football Team. 

The Miami Dolphins entered the world of Pro Football in 1966 when they joined the AFL.  Once the leagues merged, the Dolphins emerged as one of the first elite powers of the conference in the early 70s, something that seemed incomprehensible based on their early struggles.

The Dolphins went to Super Bowl VI, losing to Dallas, but they would then put forth an undefeated season in 1972 and would win Super Bowl VII, which to date is the only time a team has gone an entire year without a loss. The Dolphins repeated as Super Bowl Champions the following year.

That was the last Super Bowl win for the Dolphins, but they did appear in the big game twice in the 1980s.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Dan Marino

2. Jason Taylor 

3. Zach Thomas

4. Bob Griese

5. Jim Langer

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

As always we thank you for your support.

A two-time All-MAC player at Akron, Jason Taylor was a Third Round pick in 1997, where he was an All-Rookie player.  That first year was a good start for a Defensive End who would become a great player.

With some additional announcements, all of the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductors for 2017 have been named. 

Sebastian Andersen will induct his father, former Place Kicker Morten Andersen.

Sports Agent Neil Schwartz will induct his client and friend, Terrell Davis.

Tommy Rhodes will induct Kenny Easley, who he coached in high school.

Gene Jones will induct her husband, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Jimmy Johnson will induct his former player Jason Taylor.

Lorenzo Neal will induct his former San Diego Charger teammate LaDainian Tomlinson.

Brenda Warner will induct her husband, Kurt Warner.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame festivities will take place the first weekend of August.

Once again we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017.

Jason Taylor has announced via his Twitter feed that his former coach in Miami, Jimmy Johnson will be his presenter at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 5 in Canton. 

This is a fitting choice as Taylor was drafted into the NFL by Johnson in the third round in 1997.  The former Defensive Player of the Year cited Johnson as “someone who believed in him from day one”.

We will be watching the ceremony and we are certain that many of you will be too!

Normally, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is relatively easy to forecast as they don’t normally have surprises, but with this year’s class, we are a little befuddles with some of this year’s selections, or rather this year’s snubs.

Let’s start with who got in.

Here we are in the National Football League playoffs but for us that it means it is time to discuss the potential class of the 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame.  The Finalists have been announced, and along with regular contributor, Spheniscus, we will go back and forth with each candidate and openly debate as to which player would be a worthy Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.

Committee Chairman: Spheniscus, we go to a team I am sure you are familiar with Jason Taylor, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant and Miami Dolphin.  Taylor is a member of the 100 Sack Club and Defensive Player of the Year.  I think Taylor is getting in, but I think they are going to put him on the backburner for one year.  Thoughts on Taylor’s Hall of Fame candidacy and why so many NFL players go on DWTS? 

We love this time of the year!

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced their Finalists for the Class of 2017, and as usual there are only moderate surprises.

The 15 finalists are as follows:

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced the 97 men who comprise their Preliminary Nominees. 

Let’s get right to it and take a look at the complete list.

With the large amount of players it is hard to perceive that there are any snubs, which there isn’t. 

In November this group of 97 Modern Era Nominees will be reduced to 18.  In January of 2017, it will be shrunk to 15.  They will join the Senior Finalist and Contributor Finalists and on February 4, the day before the Super Bowl, the respective committees will decide the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017.

You know we will be paying attention!

A few weeks ago, the Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted their latest class, which means one thing for us at Notinhalloffame.com…it is time to revamp our list our top 100 on the football list for next year’s class!

Recapping what happened last year, Brett Favre (#1), Marvin Harrison (#3), Ken Stabler (#6), Orlando Pace (#15), Dick Stanfel (#30) and Kevin Greene (#37) were selected along with Eddie DeBartolo Jr. and Tony Dungy were all inducted.  With three of our top ten chosen, a major overhaul at the top has occurred as three new eligible entrants made the top ten.

Jerry Kramer, the only man who was named to the 75th NFL Anniversary Team who was not named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame returns to the top spot.  Kramer played in the first two Super Bowls with the Green Bay Packers and remains a Lambeau legend.

LaDainian Tomlinson, the former Running Back who will be eligible for the first time, holds #2.  Tomlinson spent most of his career with the San Diego Chargers and he is a former three time First Team All Pro and was the MVP in 2006.  Tomlinson is also a two time rushing champion.

Former Super Bowl MVP, Chuck Howley, has his highest rank at #3.  Howley is a six time Pro Bowl Selection.

At #4 is Alan Faneca, who is entering his second year of eligibility.  The former Offensive Lineman was a Finalist last year. 

L.C. Greenwood is ranked at #5.  The former Defensive End helped the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowls and he has been a Hall of Fame Finalist six times.

The always controversial, Terrell Owens, returns at #6.  The Wide Receiver has been vocal about the Hall of Fame voting process being flawed and has been the subject of much debate.

The now eligible Brian Dawkins comes in at #7.  Dawkins adds to the already heavy logjam at Safety.

Torry Holt, who was not a Finalist last year, is ranked at #8.

AFL star, Johnny Robinson is at #9.  Robinson is a former Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Rounding out the top ten is another new entry, Defensive Tackle, Jason Taylor, a six time Pro Bowler.

The other new entries to our Notinhalloffame.com Football list are:

Former Super Bowl MVP, Hines Ward enters our list for the first time at the #21 spot.

The “infamous” Ochocinco, Chad Johnson debuts at the #26 spot.

Former Quarterback, Donovan McNabb, enters our list at #30.

Wide Receiver, Derrick Mason makes his first appearance on our list at #59

Former Chicago Bear, Offensive Lineman, Olin Kreutz debuts at #69.

At #96, Joey Porter, the former Pittsburgh Steeler Linebacker who helped the Steelers win Super Bowl XL.
