They had a brief clip of him at the game.

Does anybody have a picture of that cause my sister is crazy over him and wasnt here yesterday and when it was shown.

She would absolutely love to see that. Priest will always be one of the best running backs to ever play for the Chiefs.

It's sad that his career ended by a neck injury.

My wife was actually paying attention to the tv when they showed Priest on there and she wanted to know why he got to walk around on the field. lol

I told her if Priest wanted to walk around on the sideline he could walk around on the sideline.

I'm thinking he needs to walk the sideline every game if it keeps the offense showing up.

I know people love Charles, but Priest is still the best RB in franchise history, IMO. His vision was without parallel, he ran hard, and he was Marcus Allen-esque in short yardage situation. He was also an unbelievable receiver out of the backfield and great on blitz pickups. He didn't have the straight-line speed of Charles or even LJ, but I'd take 2002 Priest Holmes over all of them.

I don't disagree. I would be very curious how good Charles could be if he had a strong O-Line like what Priest had.

You may think that, but you don't know it. It's easier to run now than it was then. Charles definitely has more first-to-second-level explosiveness, but I also don't think he was as slippery in tight spots as Priest.

Furthermore, you can't compare the two as receivers or short yardage backs. It's not even false to say that--it's insane.

Ummm...to be fair to JC, Priest had Roaf, Shields, Weigmann, Waters, & Tait/Sampson on the line and T-Rich in front...

Give Charles that supporting cast and he's rushing for 2k.

Yeah it was a great line but Priest was a great running back. I'd go to games with opposing fans and even they'd remark about his quickness and vision. He was the total package. His quickness made him a monster in the red zone. Charles already has more fumbles than Priest had in his entire NFL career. It's a lot closer than people think.

Jamaal Charles is a very good running back. Priest Holmes was a special running back.

Had Priest's body complied (multiple ACL's, career threatening hip), he could have been a Hall Of Famer.

As for comparing them on the field, there is no comparison, IMO:

Priest.

I gotta give the edge to Holmes as well. His vision for the first cut was legendary.
He ran very quickly for that first burst. Nothing I've ever seen before or since.
Charles is the better blocker and has more speed and talent. He just needs to develop that instinct for second cut options. You dig?

He's got more natural talent than Holmes IMO. If they can find someone to take a little of load off, that'd be awesome.

Shaid
10-21-2013, 10:35 PM
One thing Charles doesn't do that totally separates Priest from him is jump over the line for the TD. Priest was amazing at it. Charles never jumps, just runs into the guys and tries to squeeze through. With Priest it was pretty much a guaranteed TD if we were at the 1. With Charles, you don't know for sure. Charles is a great back, but Priest had that nose for the endzone that only the great ones have.

Yeah but to this point Priest has had three seasons of total yardage beyond Charles best season. Priest had more rushing TDs in a single season than Charles has had in his career to this point. And that's while clearly not having the breakaway speed Charles does. Charles already has more career fumbles than Priest. To say it's "insane" is a bit harsh.

And Priest averaged about 85 more carries per season than Charles in those seasons. And yes Priest was a better red zone back than Charles, but how often have the Chiefs been in the redzone in Charles career? The Chiefs were probably in the redzone in 2003 more times than the Chiefs have been in all 5 years of Charles' career.

Give me a choice between the two and I pick Charles, and it's not even close. Priest was great, but Charles is just on another level of greatness. The best lineman in his career would be the worst in the Holmes era. And don't even get me started on the coaching...

Would you just go to YouTube and WATCH the man?

It's not the HOLES, it's what you do with the ball AFTER the lane has been created.

It sure is fun to argue with people that were NINE YEARS OLD at the time.

Ok, go on youtube and watch Jamaal Charles also. Highest yards per carry in NFL history with an average line in his career. How many yards would he average with 2 hall of famers and a 2 time all pro in front of him?

For Priest, it was about the initial hole. He had a second gear and vision that Charles lacks.

Priest wasn't a world class sprinter. He had two ACL replacements. But what he had was VISION and body control.

Priest had elite vision and patience. He wasn't particularly fast, he wasn't particularly strong and he wasn't particularly big but he's was just enough of the three to get shit done at an incredible level.

Charles has elite speed. His vision is great and patience is actually pretty good for a guy with the burners he has. He's also deceptively strong.

They're both fantastic hands out of the backfield.

Charles has a fumbling problem and Priest had, possibly, the best offensive line ever.

Do you even have a fucking clue? Teams were spending high draft choices in order to find stud running backs. The relaxed passing rules hadn't gone into effect, so the running game and defense were what every team aspired to then.

The Patriots gave up a SECOND ROUND PICK for an EIGHT YEAR running back because they were at such a premium.

I love Priest Holmes to death and his runs were always breathtaking. However, there's a reason Jamaal almost broke the record for the most impressive stat (IMO) with a ludicrous 6.83 YPC in 2010. Like some have already said, can you imagine what he could have done in his prime and behind one of the best O-Lines of all time? Holy shit...

Priest did have great vision and his runs and cuts looked jaw-dropping because of his foot speed and strength. It looked like he had jackhammers for legs. But I think if one were to look objectively, there really is no denying that in their primes, behind the same offensive line, Jamaal would have greater success.

I will also say that even without his elite speed, Jamaal is still a great RB. Jamaal hasn't been the world class sprinter RB of yore for a while now. I don't know if it's the ACL, the blisters or just general wear and tear, but he constantly gets caught from behind. The days of him running away from literally everyone on the field are over.

I'm not trying to knock anyone either. I am simply stating that, in my opinion, if you take Jamaal Charles and send him back to 2003 and let him run behind that line, he will outperform Priest. The only thing that makes me sad is that such immense talent was being wasted between 2008 and 2013. Hopefully, this will be the year Jamaal gets to taste some real success.

Just ridiculous. This is with a below average offensive line, shit passing game and against teams who know you're the only real weapon they have to worry about.

Fuck me, Priest had the benefit of the best offensive line and the best FB in Chief's history, the best TE of all time and a potent air attack with Trent Green getting about 10 minutes worth of a clean pocket every time he dropped back.

Look at these highlights. 85% of the time, he's got holes the size of the Grand Canyon to run through. He doesn't even get touched on most of these runs. Priest was a master at following the flow of the blocking and picking the right time to hit the hole. But you can't honestly look at this and tell me that JC wouldn't have the exact same runs.

It's a shame Priest had the injuries. If he had a healthy career, he could have broken every record out there for running backs. His touchdown production was simply amazing...like automatic inside the 8 kinda amazing.

It's hard to say which is the better back because I honestly think it's approaching a point where they are interchangeable. Charles is becoming a very effective receiver. That's the biggest point I came away from the Texans game...Charles is lethal as a receiver at this point, Alex is definitely holding him back because Charles is killing coverage on deeper routes.

Priest was tougher, Charles has get away from the cops speed.

Charles was mainly used as a true back where Priest was used more as a dual threat.

Right now, I'd take Priest...but if Charles has a few more good seasons, he will run away with this debate. He just needs a signature season in yards and scores.

I think Charles has a good chance to score 20+ touchdowns this year and if he is able to stay healthy, could put up 2-3 more years of that type of output.

I know people love Charles, but Priest is still the best RB in franchise history, IMO. His vision was without parallel, he ran hard, and he was Marcus Allen-esque in short yardage situation. He was also an unbelievable receiver out of the backfield and great on blitz pickups. He didn't have the straight-line speed of Charles or even LJ, but I'd take 2002 Priest Holmes over all of them.

The dude could score at will from inside the 5 by jumping over everyone. I've never seen anyone do it better.

You may think that, but you don't know it. It's easier to run now than it was then. Charles definitely has more first-to-second-level explosiveness, but I also don't think he was as slippery in tight spots as Priest.

Furthermore, you can't compare the two as receivers or short yardage backs. It's not even false to say that--it's insane.

Charles has rarely been given short-yardage carries.

This season he's gotten the bulk of them and he's looked pretty outstanding. I'll give you that Holmes was a better pass-catcher, but again, now that Charles is being used more in that role he's looking pretty darn good as well.

It's close, but in the end I think I'd rather have Charles, especially now that we've seen Charles go out there and do many of the things Holmes was asked to do. He's more explosive and he's just as tough. He may not have quite the vision Holmes did, but I think he had even better balance; his ability to shift into a hole and burst out of it is unparallelled.

It's certainly not an absurd argument from either side. I just think it's awfully hard to say with any authority that Holmes was clearly better when he had 3 guys playing at a HOF level in front of him for that period and a 4th at a Pro Bowl level. Branden Albert would've been the 2nd worst O-Lineman on that entire team (and really, Tait had his moments as well).

Switch the respective teams for a minute - would Holmes have been able to do the things that Charles did behind these lines from 2010 to now? I don't think so. Could Charles have done what Holmes did behind those HOF lines and in that offensive system from 2001-2003? Yeah, I really think he could have.

Priest Holmes was death by a thousand cuts. He'd get you 7 yards over and over and over again because he had uncanny patience and could bounce right into a gap just as it opened. But it wasn't a '2nd gear' that let him do that, it was patience and vision. He'd get his 7 then get taken down.

The reason I'd take Charles over Priest, in two words: Larry Johnson.

Running behind Priest's line LJ would have destroyed NFL records had he ran behind them in 2005 for the entire year.

But when LJ had to run behind Charles' line his last couple of years, he sucked in stereo.

Charles was able to still pull off amazing feats.

Charles and Priest both bring so much to the table, I can't help but love them both.

But Charles was the better teammate, the better pure runner, faster, with peerless change of direction, and just as patient.

Holmes was far better in the passing game, the better blocker, far better in short yardage, more competitive, and set up his blocks far better.

Love that they both played in KC.

Both former Longhorns (Hook Em!, OU sucks) so it's hard for me to pick.

You guys are forgetting that the entire league was predicated on stopping the running game and finding a special running back.

Today, it's all about the passing game.

Yet there are far fewer truly great running backs. I have a hard time believing it's because there's a shortage of RB talent - that body type and skill set is still in high demand.

Perhaps it's because when the league was predicated on the run, not only were there defenses geared to stopping them, there were also O-Lineman there exclusively for their prowess in blowing holes for RBs and blocking schemes built around the running game. Defenses are reactive in their nature - if they're built to stop the pass now it's because offenses stopped building schemes designed to make things easier for their RBs. There's some ying and yang there to consider.

Leaguewide YPC numbers kinda support that - YPC going back to 2000 have been pretty stable - right around 4.1 - 4.2. This year it's at 4.0, though it's been about 4.3 for a couple of years before that.

In the mid-90s is where you really saw it start to shift. In the '94, '95 range you were looking in the 3.6, 3.7 realm. But by the time Priest came along, 4.2ish was the new normal.

It might be a little bit easier to run now, but not by much. Certainly not by enough to overcome the massive gap in talent between the 2003 Chiefs line and the 2013 Chiefs line.

You really think Holmes could've gone for 6.5 YPC in 2010? You're being pretty quick to accuse others of forgetting greatness, but I feel like you're also forgetting just how amazing Charles was that year. He was doing some incredible stuff to dart through holes, make guys miss in small spaces and just rocketing out of there. He'd pick up 6 yards where there was literally nobody blocked merely through elusiveness and balance. He'd make a quick burst through the line, juke 2 LBs still within the hashes and then break free for another 15. Charles at his apex was absolutely the equal of Priest Holmes and he did it without nearly as varied an offense and without nearly the surrounding talent.

He had a worse player on his offense at literally every single position on the field than the 2003 Chiefs and yet he was equally effective, if not more so. I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm going to ignore that because of a perceived seismic shift in defensive focus, especially not when defenses didn't respect our passing game that year and leaguewide YPC averages were quite comparable.

Hey, I'll listen to an argument to the contrary. It's a fair argument. But this dismissive shit you're peddling doesn't fly. There are a ton of valid arguments to be made in favor of Jamaal Charles being a better RB and better all-around football player than Priest Holmes was.

I honestly don't know why you care about my opinion. I'm not going to change it nor concede.

I saw things on the field from Priest Holmes that were incredible. His body control, his vision, his smarts and his quickness. He was amazing out of the backfield as a receiver and he was amazing up the middle as a runner. He had a style and grace and moves that were just unbelievable.

I'm not knocking Jamaal Charles. But at this time, I'd take a healthy Priest Holmes over Charles.

Or Marcus. Especially in the red zone.

I think Hamas has been pretty vocal as well.

What's most interesting to me is that people that were children in Priest's heyday prefer Charles.

You're literally only talking about one person: King.

There have been plenty of guys that have picked Jamaal who's age you're unaware of...

That's not really interesting to me at all. I'm just trying to be as unbiased and objective as I can. I enjoyed watching Priest Holmes in 2003 more than I enjoyed watching Jamaal Charles at any point, ever. I just think that Jamaal would set unbreakable records in that 2003 offense. My opinion is based on what Charles has been able to accomplish with subpar lines and atrocious passing game during his NFL career. As much as I love Priest Holmes, when one considers the whole picture, the argument that Jamaal Charles is a better running back is simply too strong.

Just think Holmes used to get to the edge get 7-10 and get tackled.


If Charles gets the edge free he's gone.

Sorry, I don't see it that way, at all. The NFL was geared to stop the run, not the pass like it is today. Keep in mind, as I said before, this was also before the rule changes that made the NFL a passing league beginning in 2004.

Furthermore, Holmes had nearly 2,200 yards from scrimmage in 2001, before the arrival of Willie Roaf, and still managed 1,555 on the ground for a 6-10 team.

Willie Roaf was the real deal. He made such a huge difference. Would love to see Charles running through the holes he created.

And that 2001 line was still way better than any line Jamaal Charles has had. And Jamaal Charles managed 1500 on the ground for a 2-14 team. With Romeo Crennel and Brian Daboll as his coaches.

He wouldn't be a big improvement over Branden Albert /Dane.

You are the least objective person on Chiefsplanet considering you've stated repeatedly that Charles is your favorite player and that you "love him".

Butthurt? Dude, do you realize your posts to realize how schizophrenic you act? You're clearly the one who gets butthurt.

And oh yeah, Jeff Allen is pretty much as good as Brian Waters
Jon Asamoah is as good as Will Shields
Eric Fisher is as good as John Tait

Those linemen wouldn't have made Jamaal Charles' totals go up at all.

Again, you were a child back in day.

What's your "excuse" for Holmes 2,200 yard output in 2001 with Marcus Spears at left tackle?

And yes, you're clearly butthurt.

Excuse? He also had Brian Waters, Will Shields, and Casey Wiegman on his team. All three are better than the best lineman we have now.

So? Does that somehow take away from his ability to avoid tacklers, catch the ball, find holes, extend and make spectacular plays?

Again, the league was run-centric. Teams were spending first round draft choices on running backs year after year. If you couldn't run the ball, your team was going nowhere. If you couldn't defend the run, your team wasn't going anywhere.

The Chiefs, amongst several others, were spending draft choice after draft choice to defend the run. NOT rush the passer, but defend the run.

The league was different.

Ummmm, yeah. That's his legacy once JC relegates him to his rightful position of nothingness - 60 yards less deep into nothingness than LJ! But he'll always be known for getting what he got behind an O-line that should have yielded a lot more. Had SOOOO many other RBs had that O-line, they'd never be able to be touched...

So yeah, his legacy will, soon enough, be Nachos and a very unclear speaking voice.
