On our sister site, NFLMocks.com, they listed the top villain for every NFL team through history and they 100% nailed the Miami Dolphins greatest villain, Thurman Thomas.
Thomas destroyed the Miami Dolphins pure and simple. On his legs the Bills were able to eat the clock and keep Dan Marino off the field. In fact you can pretty much say that it was because of the Bills and Thurman Thomas that the Miami Dolphins greatest quarterback isn’t regarded as the greatest quarterback of all-time outside of the Dolphins fan base.
In a nutshell, if not for Thomas and the Jim Kelly led Bills, Dan Marino would have gone to a lot of Super Bowls.
