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.

Tough decisions. Lots of deserving players.

That's impossible. We need more of a Vietnam Memorial than a Mount Rushmore.

But if we can only have four, I think you have to go with an owner, a coach, an offensive player, and a defensive player. And they would be Lamar Hunt, Hank Stram, Len Dawson, and our first Hall of Fame player, Bobby Bell.

It kind of stinks that they're all from the same era, more or less. It'd be nice if we can have some from four different eras, but I guess Mt. Rushmore is stacked toward the early years, too.

I was going to go with the first three plus Willie Lanier thinking that Bell only beat him into the Hall of Fame because he retired first, but after looking them up on profootballreference.com, it turns out that Bell was 1st team All Pro 6 times (with 9 Pro Bowls) and Lanier only made it 3 times (with 8 Pro Bowls). So I'll go with Hunt, Stram, Dawson, and Bell also.

FWIW, here are the guys who made 1st team All Pro the most times:

6 - Bobby Bell, Johnny Robinson, Jim Tyrer

5 - Tony Gonzales

4 - Buck Buchanan

3 - Fred Arbanas, Derron Cherry, Sherrill Headrick, Priest Holmes, Willie Lanier

2 - Ed Budde, Len Dawson, Abner Haynes, EJ Holub, Albert Lewis, Nick Lowery, Jerry Mays, Will Shields, Otis Taylor, Derrick Thomas, Brian Waters

1 - 20 players

I want to go with this and I love Derrick Thomas, but Bobby Bell should be on it. I agree with Rain Man.

Mount Rushmore during my fan years which started somewhere in the mid 90's.

Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzalez, Derrick Thomas and Dwayne Bowe.

Best RB, TE, DE and WR I've witnessed as a Chief fan.
