9. QB Jay Fiedler
As a reminder about the ground rules, the top three will be determined only by what the players did while wearing that uniform for the Dolphins.
Players who wore 8 for at least one regular season game:
P Klaus Wilmsmeyer (1998), QB Daunte Culpepper (2006), QB Matt Moore (2011-17), QB Brock Osweiler (2018)
The debate:
There isn't much of a debate here considering that Matt Moore is the only one who played more than one season.
The four players include three of the post-Marino starting quarterbacks for the Dolphins, and none of them had a winning record. Moore was 8-9 as a starter with Miami, Osweiler was 2-3 and Culpepper was 1-3. Wilmsmeyer averaged a career-high 42.5 yards for the Dolphins in the final year of his six-year NFL career (it ranked 23rd in the NFL that season).
The top three:
1. QB Matt Moore
2. P Klaus Wilmsmeyer
3. QB Brock Osweiler
