Last week I asked the following question:
Who is your worst Miami Dolphins player to ever play for the team over any extended period of time, and why?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
Dave21 points to a recent draft pick.
I think Jonah will be much improved this season. Grant as well on the DL, the full year in the trenches will help them on both side of the ball.
19Dolphin84 I’m guessing is pointing to the worst draft decisions ever made, not the worst player ever.
Ronnie Brown over Aaron
Rodgers or Jake Long over Matt Ryan
Lefty5150 says it’s Tua.
For me it is Tua. He was not terrible by any stretch until 2025 but there was one game that it hit me. He had two chances to save the Titans MNF game and he failed bc he basically either A) sucks or B) is not clutch. Turns out it was both. How a GM could not see it right then is beyond me.
Gator68 is highlighting some more bad draft decisions.
Yatil Green 1st round pick.. Dion Jordan trade up in the 1st round.. 2nd round pick traded for Josh Rosen, was on someone’s practice squad the next year after we cut him …
Dolphster points out a guy who was nothing short of a bust in Miami.
There are plenty to choose from, but I have to go Dion Jordan. Not only did the team trade up to take him with the 3rd overall pick, and not only did he suck, but he even got suspended for illegal substances. He went on to have a few “okay” seasons elsewhere, but he was abominable for the Phins.
coach k 13 highlights a first and second round bust and a possible future bust.
Dion Jordan and Cam Smith comes to mind and if Jonah doesn’t get his head out of his ass he will be another one soon.
StanleyDoyle1 points to one of Jimmy’s worst moves.
John Avery – a Jimmy Johnson special.
TheRoo1 went with a general manager.
Worst of all time Hmmmm
Grier
DEdedhed remembers a guy Miami took in the first round who was surprised to go so high because he clearly should not have!
Best headline in Miami Herald history….
WHO?
Eric Kumerow
Francesco ITA points to Tua for the overall effect he had on the team for half a decade, or possibly more.
Is clearly Tua, not based on skills but on the damage done on a long period of time. He derailed 5 years of our fans life… he destroyed a rebuilding… he escaped with the bag full of money… and his dead cap alone destroy next season too. And he was a top 5 pick … and he was picked before better players… and he was already damaged goods…
MiamiItaliano is another who still remembers how the Avery pick stung.
John Avery. Traded down from 19 to 29, could have got Randy Moss.
Phoenix6 points to a Grier special!
Who is your worst Miami Dolphins player to ever play for the team over any extended period of time, and why?
Cam Smith!
In the 2023 NFL Draft, Miami selected Smith 51st overall in the second round.
Got on the field, sucked, PS… then,
Got on the field, sucked, PS…. then,
Got on the field, sucked, PS.
Finally, released.
Doofus.
madcitydave points to a LB taken too high and a forgettable QB.
Eric Kumerow and John Beck
DolfanBill points to a guy who had a lasting negative effect on the team, even after he left.
Jonathan Martin not only was bad pick but sunk the Dolphins that season and couple more seasons. Made the team the laughing stock of the league. Was all the announcers would talk about when the game was on as well. I ended up turning the Monday Night game off because I didn’t want to hear about any longer. Definitely dropped my lifetime confidence of the team a little bit drafting that guy. Can’t say that about any other draft pick.
NCDolfan points to a guy who couldn’t stay off the juice.
Dion Jordan
Well, that was a lot of past fan trauma there! Hopefully, the new braintrust in charge of this ship will make better overall decisions than some of those we have seen in the past.
