Beloved: Your Favorite Chiefs. Round 5. The Championships

[Rain Man]

All of these guys were great, there's no doubt about that.

But I'm going to tell you a few things.

First, Jamaal Charles is the greatest running back who has ever played in the NFL. His yards per carry proves that.

Second, Jamaal Charles blocks like a pulling guard.

Third, Jamaal Charles is one of the fastest players in the league and can still change directions on a dime.

Fourth, Jamaal Charles is a great receiver and would almost certainly be our #1 receiver if he wasn't the greatest running back in NFL history.

Some other Jamaal facts:

1. He scored the most touchdowns in a game since 1965 when he scored five against the Raiders. The only other Chief to score five in a game was Abner Haynes in 1961.

2. The only other Chief to score four receiving touchdowns in a game was Frank Jackson in 1965, and Jamaal also added a running touchdown in the same game.

3. He has had five 1000+ yard seasons, averaging more than 5 ypc in every one of them.

4. Here is his career yards per carry compared to a few less talented running backs:

Jamaal: 5.5
Jim Brown: 5.2
Barry Sanders: 5.1
Walter Payton: 4.4
Eric Dickerson: 4.4
Marshall Faulk: 4.3
Emmitt Smith: 4.2

But this isn't just about numbers. This is about greatness. I offer you Jamaal Charles against the Redskins.

I love defense and Otis Taylor is the guy who made me love football. I say this with a whisper because it's heresy to my heritage, but Jamaal may now be my favorite player ever. A clip of his highlights is mind-boggling.
