Bob Keuchenberg had a marvelous career. In 1983, Miami owner Joe Robbie said,"If I ever get to build my own stadium down here the first thing I am going to do is erect a statue of Kooch in front of it. More than any one player, he symbolizes what the Dolphins program has been all about". Keuchenberg wasn't the biggest (6'2",255) but was smart,strong & scrappy, relying on tricks & technique in-line. He was tough & wily,could trap with the best,adjust on the move & claw & scrape to protect QB.
Well, the Dolphins were in five Super Bowls between 1971-'84, and there was only one player that was in all of them, and that was Bob Kuechenberg. Kuechenberg is one of the 10 best players not in the Hall of Fame, in my view, and needs to be in, though it will be up to the Veteran's Committee if he's ever to be inducted. The others are Jerry Kramer, Jim Marshall, Dave Dalby, Ken Stabler, L.C. Greenwood, Cliff Branch, Drew Pearson, Joe Jacoby, and Otis Taylor.
@cjs3872 so glad to hear someone mention Dave Dalby, the Raiders great Center of the 70's and 80's. Everyone remembers his predecessor, HOF'er Jim Otto, and everyone remembers the other great O-Linemen from the Raiders of the 70's and early 80's, Art Shell and Gene Upshaw. But nobody remembers how great and key a player Dave Dalby was for those teams. O-Linemen don't get any kind of love from HOF voters. Dalby, Kuchenberg, Kramer, and John Niland from Dallas should be in the Hall
Ray Guy needs to be put in, as well. The fact that Jerry Kramer, Bob Kuechenberg, Jim Marshall, Dave Dalby, Ken Stabler, L.C. Greenwood, Cliff Branch, Drew Pearson, Joe Jacoby, Otis Taylor, and Guy aren't in the Hall of Fame is a crime. Oddly enough four of those players were Raiders, and one thing that may be keeping Greenwood and Kramer out of the Hall of Fame is the fact that so many of their teammates are already enshrined. But why they aren't in the Hall of Fame mystifies me.
