Joe_Chief 1,092 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Somewhere up there should be Dale Carter (what a waste of talent). Derrick Johnson, although AH says he's overrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,661 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Hard to argue with that group. I'd add Emmitt Thomas to the discussion although I don't really remember him playing. Not necessarily all time Chiefs, but some of my favorites from my lifetime that aren't on your list would be Dan Saleauma, Deron Cherry, Albert Lewis, Tamba Hali, Justin Houston and Jerad Allen.

Well career stats is just that....career, not just sb stats only. If a guy had 3 big sb it's but nothing else for his career worth a shit, would you consider him a great defensive guy?

Are some stats higher impact than others? Do we mean impact towards regular season wins or just postseason? Both? Are we just looking at impact on overall career excellence? You could argue that many of Emmitt's best seasons did not impact anything due to lack of postseason or regular season success. Stat wise his best season was '74 and KC was 5-9 that year.

I would argue it is the entire body of a players career. We have had many great players not do anything in the post season due to terrible years. Thomas never won much at all in the post season and is a HOF player and deservedly so. It takes a special team to win it all and some of these players just never had the team around them despite great playing careers. Tony G for the offense is a great example of one of those players.

Exactly. “Best” simply means the best, regardless of any extraneous circumstances like playoffs, etc. Most of the best players in Chiefs history never got anywhere near the SB.

Wrong about his lack of SB history. He was definitely on the SB winning squad in 1969. I used to watch him that season. In fact,. he had an interception in SB IV. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
