Chiefs Mount Rushmore nominations-PFT
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...trap/#comments
Mt. Rushmore nomination process runs the 65 Toss Power Trap Posted by Mike Florio on May 20, 2013, 4:14 PM EDT AP With six teams to go, let’s turn our attention to the franchise that produced six Pro Bowlers in 2012. And somehow only two wins. But the Chiefs have had plenty of proud moments, dating back to participation in the first Super Bowl. Here’s your chance to scour the team’s rosters all the way back to the days of the Dallas Texans and vote for the four members of the franchise (player, coach, other) who should be on the Chiefs’ Mt. Rushmore. From Hank Stram to Lamar Hunt to Derrick Thomas to Len Dawson to Willie Lanier to Otis Taylor to Emmitt Thomas to Bobby Bell to Tony Gonzalez, there are plenty of deserving candidates. Name your favorites below. |

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

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?

No votes for Montana? This place is slipping.

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