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
