xen 1,010,220 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Here's one from the interwebs to kick you off. https://nfldraftdiamonds.com/2023/08/chiefs-20/ Patrick Mahomes, QB (2017-Present): People may say it is premature, but I am sorry he is a beast. He has already won 2 Super Bowls, 2 NFL MVP Awards, 2 Super Bowl MVP’s and 5X Pro Bowler. He has the Chiefs in the race every year. He is the best ever in KC. Len Dawson, QB (1962-1975): Dawson is perhaps one of the most iconic figures in Chiefs history. He led the team to victory in Super Bowl IV and was known for his leadership and accuracy as a quarterback. Derrick Thomas, LB (1989-1999): Thomas was a dominant force on defense, setting the single-game NFL record for sacks with seven. He was a fearsome pass rusher and a nine-time Pro Bowler. Travis Kelce, TE (2013-present): Kelce has become one of the most prolific tight ends in NFL history, known for his receiving ability and versatility. Willie Lanier, LB (1967-1977): Lanier was a key part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning defense and is considered one of the greatest middle linebackers in NFL history. Tony Gonzalez, TE (1997-2008): Gonzalez is widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the game. He was a reliable target for Chiefs quarterbacks and set numerous records for tight end receptions and yardage. Bobby Bell, LB (1963-1974): Bell was a versatile player who excelled at both linebacker and defensive end. He was a key part of the Chiefs’ defense during their Super Bowl run. Jamaal Charles, RB (2008-2016): Charles was a dynamic running back known for his speed and elusiveness. He holds several franchise records for rushing and was a multiple-time Pro Bowler. Will Shields, OL (1993-2006): Shields was a consistent and dominant offensive lineman throughout his career, earning numerous Pro Bowl selections and helping pave the way for Chiefs running backs. Emmitt Thomas, DB (1966-1978): Thomas was a standout defensive back and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was a key contributor to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl success.

In that case, remove DT and replace him with Buck. oldtimer, arrowhead and arthur75 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few seasons, offensive coordinators knew the way to negate DT was to run right at him. They did that with success. Nobody ran right at Buck.

The problem is you think there are 10 better all time Chiefs than DT? One of the all time great pass rushers? I don't buy the 'not a great run stopper' arguement. That's not why we were paying him. That's like leaving Gonzo or Kelce off lists cause they aren't great in-line run blockers. You want to leave Mahomes off while you're at it cause he doesn't play special teams?

Jamaal Charles is not a top 10 Chief. Like him. But he just isn't. Personally, I'd rather have a healthy Priest Holmes. But there are several including Buck, Otis and maybe even Jan that are more top ten to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowhead 1,070 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 No to JC. Like others have said, Buck or Otis before JC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,661 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 No Brainers 1. Patrick 2.Lenny 3. DT 4. Willie (the Lanier one, not the Gay one NTTAWWT) 5. Tony 6. Kelce 7. Otis 8. Bobby Bell The only Brainer is picking 2 of these. Emmitt Thomas (probably a no brainer also, but recency bias, Buchanan (same), Johnny Robinson (same) Jan, Shields, Priest, Jamaal, Okoye, Neil Smith (yeah yeah he went to Denver, but him and DT changed the entire culture of Arrowhead and he helped make DT who he was), and Culp. And it's not Jamaal. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 If JC isn't on the list no Chiefs RB should be. He was head and shoulders the best RB we ever had. Best YPC in modern NFL history for a RB. Better than Jim Brown by .2 yards. Burpo The Mad Clown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kccrow 529 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Deron Cherry might be the best safety I've ever seen play the game. He's 100% on my top-10 list. I'd gladly give Charles the boot to put him on it. mex and oldtimer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
