Ah, the 1989 draft. 4 of the first 5 picks are Hall-of-Famers. The other guy is Tony Mandarich. Dolphins picked 9th. Out of those 28 first-rounders, 11 made it to Pro-Bowler status and a total of 5 made the Hall of Fame (Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas, Deion Sanders, Steve...

Clearly, you are missing the point. Both players had drug problems and were traded "to get a fresh start". Both players were traded because they were disasters off the field. Within a year of the trade, both were out of football. There were plenty of red flags around Sammie Smith when the...

Hard to evaluate. Marino always came off as a "nice guy", not really making any frustrations public. Not sure if he pushed hard or not for getting a RB to help him, though one would imagine that he saw what happened with Elway when the Broncos got Terrell Davis. In his playing days, the...

Yes he was. I realize this was pre-interwebz but...there were rumors...even then...

I will say this. Taking a UF tailback, particularly one with good stats, was not an insane bet (especially back then). There are PLENTY of worse names on that list. Sammie. Motherfvcking. Smith.

Yeah, someone already mentioned him. He was a JJ pick, only played for the Dolphins for 1 year after being a FIRST ROUND draft choice. Horrendous. We ended up trading him to Denver for the guy who was drafted one spot behind Avery. To JJ's credit, he did pick up Surtain and Mixon in the...

Bennett is one of the many FBs I mentioned. I tried to limit it to TBs who got the majority of the carries for the Dolphins. I realize that not every QB has a perfect team with a ton of weapons. But it was just amazing how poorly the Dolphins did with trying to find a TB to complement Marino...

Lorenzo Hampton (Gaytor) Troy Stradford Marc Logan Marc Higgs Sammie Smith (SemenHole) traded for Bobby Humphrey Irving Spikes Aaron Craver Jerris McPhail (literally, McPHAIL) Cecil the Diesel Collins Autry Denson JJ Johnson Not to mention a parade of fullbacks post-Csonka-Kiick who were not as...

He asked who was the bigger icon, not "qualifying factor", and Wade brought 3 rings to Miami. I would simply say that with the Dolphins past Super Bowl history, Marino would be an even bigger icon if he brought the Lombardi Trophy back to Miami during his playing days. Just my opinion.

Also never left Miami for another team AND opened numerous restaurants.

In Marino's favor, he never left Miami for another team, and he opened multiple restaurants. However, he never won the Super Bowl and he had the misfortune of playing when UM was winning multiple national championships.
