I didn't say we weren't! I was just pointing out that many people only look at our stars from the early 80s on. But we had a rich history before that. Too many guys to mention here, but Owens and Foreman were among them.
We sometimes forget about the older names, before we became a championship team in the 80s. But Miami had been producing NFL greats well before that. I remember Foreman well as I grew up a Bears fan and he always shredded us.
