Let's sort this out: where do the LBs rank?

[Direckshun]

Off the top of my head, there are maybe a handful of LB squads I can think of that I'd take over DJ/Harris/Edwards.

Ravens (Johnson/Lewis/Scott)
Bears (Hillenmeyer/Urlacher/Briggs)

Those are the obvious ones.

Any others you could legitimately want to take over the Chiefs'?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Are we limiting this to 4-3 teams?

[Direckshun]

No, but I can't think of any 3-4 teams that top the Chiefs. The Pats are thin at LB, the Chargers have nothing on the inside...

Although the Steelers are stacked. Alright, so there's a third.

Chiefs>Packers

Well, a lot of people consider the Steelers LBs system LBs. What the hell has any Pittsburgh linebacker in the last 10 years done after they left that system??

[CupidStunt]

I'd take our TRIO over the Ravens.

Believe it or not (I know the guy has huge hype/big name), but Harris is outplaying Ray Lewis, and while Scott may be the best of them all, Edwards and DJ is a better duo than Scott and... err... whoever the hell Johnson is.

We're one of the best.

One of the keys will be finding and developing a good replacement for Edwards.

Ummm, we are talking about the steelers LBs right now.

Whether its the system or not is irrelevant.

[the Talking Can]

Pats:

Vrabel
Bruschi
Thomas
Colvin

they're better

That's not really fair.

I mean, Vrabel is a wide receiver who lines up as a LB.

Face it, 7 receptions, 7 touchdowns. He's on a better pace than Bo was when he was here.

Chunkiest damn wide receiver I've ever seen.

edit- With the possible exception of David Boston.

[beer bacon]

I don't know if these teams have better LBs then the Chiefs, but they are damn good:

Washington: M. Washington, L. Fletcher, R. McIntosh

Dallas: G. Ellis/A. Spencer, B. James, A. Ayodele, D. Ware

GB: B. Poppinga, N. Barnett, A. Hawk

Seattle: L. Hill, M Tatupa, J. Peterson

Tampa Bay: C. June, B. Ruud, D. Brooks

Jacksonville: C. Ingram, M. Peterson, D. Smith

Oakland: T. Howard, K. Morrison, S. Williams

SD. S. Merriman, M. Wilhelm, S. Cooper, S. Phillips

Baltimore: J. Johnson, R. Lewis, B. Scott

NE. M. Vrabel, T. Bruschi. A. Thomas, R. Colvin

Pittsburgh: C. Haggans, J. Farrior, L. Foote, J. Harrison

There are a lot of teams with good LBs. The difference between KC and a lot of other LB corps right now, is that we don't seem to have a weak link. Any of our starting LBs, depending on how things land, could put up Pro Bowl worthy stats.

[The Franchise]

If it wasn't for Poppinga I'd take the Packers.

[Archie Bunker]

In a 4-3 D I'd take Oakland's LBs over anyone elses. Morrison and Howard are damn good. Honestly I think Morrison might be the best MLB in the NFL. Williams is a bit of a weak link but is still solid. Whenever I watch them they are all over the field making plays.

Plus they are still very young.

[runnercyclist]

We'll we know who isn't.

IK don't think the Bungles have 3 LBs on their roster.

[cdcox]

Our defense is not very good against the run, ranking around 20th in yards per game and yards per carry. I don't think you can claim to have elite LB when you rank that low against the run.
