Quick! Name the last great Chief whose career wasn't wasted by this franchise.

[milkman]

Cutting Charles has brought out the "His career was wasted by Herm, Pioli, etc., just like Hali and DJ".

Seriously, this franchise has wasted careers since 1970.

[notorious]

Damn straight, Milk.


How many probowlers (well deserved) did that 2-14 team have? Such a waste.


Pioli committed horrific atrocities.

LMAO


The only Chief careers that didn't get wasted are the guys who left.


That is very sad.

[Rain Man]

Matt Cassel

Actually, this is the right answer. His career in Kansas City elevated him far beyond his career at any other team in the league.

[notorious]

Dwayne Bowe.

[Rain Man]

Oh, wait. The OP asked about "great Chiefs". This wouldn't count. But the Chiefs really did elevate his career far beyond any reasonable expectations.

[lewdog]

So the only answer is Lenny The Cool, Milk???

[Spott]

Bobby Bell.

Alex Smith finna lead us to the playoffs

[TLO]

Marc Boerighter

Darnell Alford

[rabblerouser]

The answer is Len Fucking Dawson, you dolts.

[TLO]

Lew Bush

[rabblerouser]

Matt Cassel

Even though he graded out perfectly, the best he ever was in KC was just short of average.

He's not even a real fucking football player, much less a "great Chief".

Goddamn.

[TLO]

Mike Cloud

[rabblerouser]

Serious answer?

Rich Gannon & Neil Smith.

Both of them did better for their careers after they left Kansas City...

So those are acceptable answers as well - they weren't so beat to shit that they could still play at a high level after they left.

Ok.

[Rain Man]

Jerrel wilson

We're talking about 1970 and later, so Jerrel probably doesn't count.

But now that you mention it, Dustin Colquitt counts and he's got a great argument. He punted a lot during the Pioli years, much more so than any other team would have done. So KC has given him a great platform to exhibit his craft. He wouldn't have as many great performances with a team like New England or Pittsburgh.

[rabblerouser]

Lawrence Tynes

But then Tampa Bay said "hey"!

[Demonpenz]

Allen and Montana were hall of famers so the franchise couldn't ruin them. I think DT ruined the chiefs more than vice versa with the Monday night Meltdown, not showing up for playoff games and dying.

Keeping DT instead of Neil was a no-brainer at the time, but in hindsight, with things turning out the way they did...

It's bad when a crybaby calls you out publicly.

[YontsRBake]

Marcus Allen. Since his career was already wasted by Davis and he already had a ring.

[rabblerouser]

Marcus Allen. Since his career was already wasted by Davis and he already had a ring.

Been a few Chiefs who have left the franchise and gone on to be All-Pro (Rich Gannon, Joe Horn) and a handful who have won SBs (Neil Smith, Lawrence Tynes off the top of my head) since Allen retired.

[Chiefs4TheWin]

The entire O-line from 2002-2005.

This

[CoMoChief]

Bernard Pollard ultimately fucked us all hardcore.

He won a SB w/ Baltimore, and due to his hit on Brady, we ended up w/ Matt Cassel for 4 seasons.

[Dave Lane]

The answer is Len ****ing Dawson, you dolts.

And yet you wonder why people say you aren't very smart.

[Reerun_KC]

Len Elliot

Jessie Haynes

Shit Marty wasted pretty much everyone in the 90s...

Mark Cassel learned how to put his hat on when he left here.

I'm sure he didn't intentionally mean to do that.

But everybody has their own perspective and if you want to look at it that way; that's your perogative.

I just think this scenario was about the Chiefs getting unlucky more than anything.

[Black Bob]

Tony Gonzalez

But, to play Devil's Advocate, technically Herm and Pioli tried to prolong Charles career. Remember guys like Thomas Jones for example? Charles really didn't take off until RAC was HC.

However, I guess Charles was wasted if the super bowl is the measuring stick.

[Amnorix]

This thread befuddles me. Do players who don't win SBs have their careers "wasted"? If so, the vast majority of players have "wasted" careers.

Seems ridiculous.

Tony Gonzalez and Jamaal Charles never won a playoff game this franchise is a complete joke.

And he was great while he was here.

But, to play Devil's Advocate, technically Herm and THE TODD tried to prolong Charles career. Remember guys like Thomas Jones for example? Charles really didn't take off until RAC was HC.

However, I guess Charles was wasted if the super bowl is the measuring stick.
Do NOT confuse Pioli with The TODD.

FYP

[beach tribe]

None of them.

They were all paid.

[rabblerouser]

None of them.

They were all paid.

Hmmm, Rich Gannon didn't get a big contract until he went to Oakland. Joe Horn wasn't a top earner while here, either. For instance. I mean, they did receive a paycheck while here...but it's not like the Chiefs are going to back the truck up for you.

Unless you play safety or Guard.

Or if you're an average QB with a penchant for turnovers (Cassel) or throwing at the sidelines (Smiff).

[Black Bob]

Do NOT confuse Pioli with The TODD.

FYP

Todd didn't sign Thomas Jones.

[RippedmyFlesh]

Oh, wait. The OP asked about "great Chiefs". This wouldn't count. But the Chiefs really did elevate his career far beyond any reasonable expectations.

Based on career earnings
castle at 63m is the 46th highest paid player in nfl history.
alex is 20th at 93m. Only 19 players who have ever played in the nfl have made more money in their careers.

[Messier]

Dumb. Is every good or great player's career ruined by not winning a championship? If you really believe that, I'm sorry you never saw any value to their contribution. And I'm sorry you only look back with anger at their career.

[Amnorix]

YEAH WELL YOU'RE RIDICULOUS WHILE YOU SIT UP THERE ON YOUR STUPID SUPER BOWL PERCH


C'mon man, don't be salty. Patriots haven't won a Super Bowl in like a month. Well, almost a month anyway...

Lots of great players never won a championship. It's the nature of teams sports


The use of the word 'wasted' is a little harsh. I doubt any of the Chiefs greats would say they had a wasted career

He didnt say Tony Gonzalez and Jamaal Charles didnt win a championship though.

He said they didnt win a playoff game.

God rest his soul one AFC championship game in all his career

[lewdog]

I'm still confused Milk, what's the answer???

[KC_Lee]

I'm still confused Milk, what's the answer???

The answer is quite simple; the Chiefs have wasted every brilliant career, from DT to DJ, from Tony G to Jamal C, by having the endless carousel of has beens, never were, never will be and JAGs at the most crucial position on a football team...the QB.

Be it via front office hubris (Grbac vs. Gannon, trying to make Cassell a thing), blind ignorance (running down the 49ers; depth chart) or simple incompetence (Palko, Thigpen, Huard, etc.) Kansas City will always waste talent and be nothing more than a good team that never sniffs the SB.

[rabblerouser]

Todd didn't sign Thomas Jones.

Well, Herm Edwards never signed ANYONE, so your whole post is fucking stupid and so are you.

Tony Gonzalez

Hey guys -
Herm had fuck all to do with signing ANYONE.

You're BlackBobbing up the board with boolshit. Stop it.

[SAUTO]

And he was great while he was here.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Pollard? The guy who missed 7 tackles in a half of a preseason game?
