DOLPHINS GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL: NAME THE TOP 10 PLAYERS IN FRANCHISE HISTORY: As 2015 training camp is underway and the club's 50th anniversary season nears, we have poured 49 seasons of Dolphins players into a giant funnel and

let through only the best of the best -- who we think of as the 30 greatest players in Fins history. That's why the (alphabetical) poll below is uncommonly long. We are giving you 30 prime contenders and inviting you to select the top 10. Make it "greatest," "most important," "favorite" -- whatever criteria you choose. Think it'll be easy? It won't bet. For me, about half of the list, 15 or 16 guys, may be Top 10-worthy. Chances are you'll be leaving out Hall of Famers or others you hate to omit. Hey, nobody said life was fair! (Or easy). From a consensus of all readers' ballots we'll eventually get to an overall Top 10. I'll be largely away from the blog on holiday for a few days so we leave you this to chew on. We'll be back here Wednesday night or Thursday morning to make official the final Top 10. Ready? Vote!

Remember, you may vote for up to 10 players and are encouraged to do so!

Deciphering a 10-vote: A 10-vote poll means 10 percent would be the maximum voting percentage if everyone cast the maximum 10 votes. Any total over 10% means some voters are voting only for that person. A percentage over 5 means that person is being included on at least half of all ballots.
