Jamaal Charles is best K.C. back ever?
Adam Teicher seem to think so....

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- This is probably overdue but I got to thinking about it after Jamaal Charles went over 1,000 rushing yards for the season in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. That's four straight seasons for Charles with over 1,000 yards and though that's certainly not the only criteria, it's time to call Charles the best runner to ever play for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Charles is third all time on the Chiefs' rushing yardage list. He is roughly 500 yards from catching Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson, the two backs ahead of him. With a big finish, Charles could conceivably catch both players this season. If not, he will pass them in 2014.

Charles is well shy of both players in rushing touchdowns, but Holmes and Johnson at times played for Chiefs teams that were offensive machines. Charles' teams in Kansas City haven't been built that way and it's unfair to penalize him for that. Charles isn't the pass receiver that Holmes was. There was no sight for Chiefs fans like Holmes running with a screen pass behind the great blockers he played with (unless it was Holmes running the sweep behind the great blockers he played with). But strictly as a runner, I'll take Charles.

Two factors go into that decision. First is longetivity. Johnson essentially had two great seasons for the Chiefs, Holmes three. Charles is now at four and we're still counting.

The other is Charles' career per-carry rushing average. Charles has picked up slightly more than 5.5 yards every time he's rushed the ball for the Chiefs in his career and that's frequently against opposing defenses that were often lying in wait for him because the Chiefs gave them little else to worry about.

Holmes rushed for 4.59 yards per carry, Johnson 4.37. That's a significant dfference in Charles' favor.

Holmes and Johnson deserve to be part of the discussion. But with apologies to those guys and some other great Chiefs backs like Marcus Allen, Christian Okoye and Ed Podolak it's time (and probably past time) to hail the new king.

Charles is going to be the all time leading rusher behind some pretty average lines playing with poor QBs and no deep threat.

He's the GOAT as far as I'm concerned.

Not yet he is not. He is working on it though. There will be others that will be more favored for obvious reasons.

Like who?

Priest is put on a pedestal. He was a good back with a great line. He was nowhere close to the homerun hitter JC is.

Okoye had a real short career.

LJ...pfff....c'mon now....

Marcus Allen never came close to producing like JC.

Say it with me now: Jamaal Charles. Greatest of All Time.

Yes. Put him behind the Offensive lines Priest had, and the dude would have HOF numbers.

I told my buddy the same thing last week. Can you imagine the damage he could do with Holmes line? ****, he lights folks up with a little crease. Plus he runs tough. I thought we'd ALWAYS need a big bruiser for tough runs but we've ran a bunch of them through and Charles is better at what they do best. Kid is incredible.

If I'm picking one or the other as a rookie Charles by 13 miles.

He already has the best YPC of any back with a comparable work load in NFL (not KC) history.

He's already putting up HOF numbers. He just has to stay healthy and last long enough.

In terms of pure talent he's the best KC back ever and I don't think 2nd place is close.

Yep. Priest was great, but his offensive lines were exponentially better than the ones Charles has had, and Charles has done more with it in terms of yards per carry. Charles is the best back this team has ever had.
