Chiefs Mount Rushmore nominations-PFT (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=273227)

Hunt: brought the team to KC. He's one of the 5 most influential owners in NFL history, IMO. How can he not be there?

Dawson: One of the greatest in NFL history and certainly our most important offensive player in franchise history.

Bell: Sorry, DT fans, but he's just a better player than DT was. DT was a lesser version of Lawrence Taylor, Bobby Bell was a lesser version of no man. It has to be Bell.

My only question is whether or not to put Stram on there. Look at the talent on those teams; I have no problem with an argument that the last 60's Chiefs should've done more with the talent they had. Stram was the coach when we won, but Stram's not the reason we won, IMO. As those guys got older, Stram had nothing to right the ship. He went to NOLA and was pretty terrible there as well.

Honestly, I think Marty was a better coach, but Marty didn't win the SB so I won't put him up there either.

My fourth is going to be Willie Lanier. He was among the first true general's as a MLB. And by most accounts he was the team's best player in the 1969 playoffs. I would count him as being more instrumental in that championship than Stram.

So for me: Hunt, Dawson, Bell, Lanier

Ganz, Herm, Romeo, & Mackovick

Hunt Stram Lenny DT

HM. Shields, TG, Bell

I like the choice. I had said I can't argue against Hunt being picked, just making a point that he already has a statue so picking another chiefs player is the way I'd vote, if I had a meaningful voice on this that is.

If Charles continues for another year or 2 he has to be one of the guys right?

Jack Steadman, Hugh Douglas, Bobby Sippio, Dick Stanzi

No votes for Montana? This place is slipping.

Bill Kenney, Ted Mcknight, Mike Livingston and Stephone Paige.

It should really be former SF QB's Montana, Bono, Grbac, Smith.

Well, I suppose you're right; Frank William Zombo III should be on the actual Mt. Rushmore. Who is this "Washington" character anyway?

(Hunt, Schottenheimer, Vermeil, DT)

Vermeil? Get out.

Anyone including Thomas over Bell, obviously never saw #78 play the game.
