    That's all ranked based on yardage. It was interesting enough, but it looked like somebody had to submit something so he added photos to a list that anybody could have Googled. Writer's block is a **tch.

    16: Randy McMichael
    10.9 yards per catch
    TD every 15.7 receptions

    15: Tony Martin
    15.6 yards per catch
    TD every 14.2 receptions

    14: Irving Fryar
    16 yards per catch
    TD every 9.95 receptions

    13: Oronde Gadsden
    14.3 yards per catch
    TD every 10.3 receptions

    12: Paul Warfield
    21.5 yards per catch
    TD every 4.7 receptions

    11: Davone Bess
    10.7 yards per catch
    TD every 21.75 receptions

    10: Tony Nathan
    9.37 yards per catch
    TD every 23.9 receptions

    9: Jarvis Landry
    10 yards per catch
    TD every 18.2 receptions

    8: Brian Hartline
    14.2 yards per catch
    TD every 24.8 receptions

    7: Duriel Harris
    16.8 yards per catch
    TD every 14.9 receptions

    6: DeVante Parker
    13.9 yards per catch
    TD every 14.1 receptions

    5: OJ McDuffie
    12.2 yards per catch
    TD every 14.3 receptions

    4: Chris Chambers
    14 yards per catch
    TD every 9.4 receptions

    3: Nat Moore
    14.79 yards per catch
    TD every 6.9 receptions

    2: Mark Clayton
    15.7 yards per catch
    TD every 6.79 receptions

    1: Mark Duper
    17.35 yards per catch
    TD every 8.6 receptions

    Now, taking the pain staking time to break down each and every receiver on this list, if you look at yards per receptions, your top 5 would be:

    Warfield
    Duper
    Harris
    Fryar
    Clayton

    If you look at the TD to reception ratio ie; all he does is catch touchdowns, your top 5 would be

    Warfield
    Clayton
    Moore
    Duper
    Chambers

    Bottom line, the best receiver in Dolphins history is without a doubt was Paul Warfield.

    2nd and 3rd is a toss up between Clayton and Duper

    Crazy that Landry made #9 after just playing a few seasons. He caught like a million passes that final year though.

    This post is 10x better than the article. I don't mind blogs, but I really prefer the ones that make me glad I read them. After reading the article, all I could thinks was "okay".

    Paul Warfield is probably my first favorite player. My dad was a Buckeye and I'm from Central Ohio, but even as a kid who was unaware of his local connections, I loved that dude. He clearly would lead my list of favorite Dolphins WRs, but I'd have to put a lot of thought into who's next.

    Not a great list imo...

    Marino never had a great tight end, never even a real good running back, and always a average defense really, his whole stinkin career

    Best WR Warfield first and daylight second.

    Best receiving 1-2 combo Clayton and Duper.

    Best 1-2-3 Clayton, Duper and Moore.

    Best TE. Wake me when we get one lif someone put a gun against my head maybe Randy McMichael.

    It just goes to show the utter absurdity of sportswriters. I don’t have the time nor inclination to do so, but I’d be curious to see how Warfield’s stats as I laid out above compare to every “great” wide receiver in NFL history.

    I think it would be quite difficult to find another receiver with that many yards per reception or who caught touchdowns so frequently.

    With another season, Parker could move up fifth, and with two more could be fourth.

    It is hard to appreciate Paul Warfield as a fan who didn't watch him play. Growing up learning about the Dolphins he was almost always shown as a footnote to the no-name defense and the 3 headed running game.

    iirc Don Hutson of the 1940s Packers is the only other WR in NFL history with 20+ ypc and a TD better than every 5 receptions.

    Didn’t know that…but it certainly proves the point of just how magnificent Paul Warfield truly was.
