I don't have so much of a problem with Marcus, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that no one's wore #19 since Montana was here and he played for us a total of 2 seasons. |

How many numbers have the Chiefs "retired"? Some of them are obvious choices, but look at the Packers. They have three numbers retired right now. Just three. Of course, that will go up to four for number 4 if and when he really does retire, but to think of all the players that have come and gone through Lambeau, not even to mention their history and those that made the HoF, and to see them have only three numbers retired makes you wonder why the Chiefs do what they do. Marcus was a great player for us while he was here, but no way should his number be retired, officially or unofficially. Same for #19.

Oh, and according to that page, the Pack have retired 5 numbers. Your point is still valid, though. |

Has anyone worn #14 since Blackledge left?

Makes sense...so using the 'unofficial' criteria, could we legitimately state that Blackledge's number has been 'unofficially' retired as well?

ANd a further view about the Chiefs not releasing 32 - I feel that it's just a petty shot at the Raiders, nothing more. While there's nothing wrong with that, it's run its course. I would love to see Jamaal Charles running around in #32. |
