ChiefsPlanet Best Chiefs by Decade

**DaFace** · 08:40 PM

I have an idea for an improvement to the Planet, but I'm only a n00b in the broader scheme of the Chiefs history, so I need some help.

If you had to pick one or two players (or coaches) from each decade in the Chiefs history to make a "top 10" list of all-time Chiefs, who might they be?

EDIT: OK, I decided to go with a different approach. Rather than create a "slideshow" gif, I just added a little script that will pick a random image from the folder each time you load the page. That way, I can just add images as they're made rather than having to create a new slideshow every time.

My current plan is to try and get one for everyone in the Chiefs HOF in there. We'll see where I go from there, but if anyone has any pics that they feel are "iconic" in Chiefs history, post them here and I'll get them in the rotation.

I couldn't get it down to 10, because I couldn't leave out Lamar.

1960's: Lamar Hunt, Hank Stram, Buck Buchanan, Bobby Bell

1970's: Willie Lanier, Emmitt Thomas

1980's: Joe Delaney, Deron Cherry

Glad somebody mentions Otis Taylor.

And Jack Budde? Tsk, tsk, people.

I'm interested in what "improvement to the planet" will come from this list, if we are in fact able to agree on 10.

See the upper-right corner. It's still a work in progress to an point, and I know that I'll never have everyone that people think should be included, but it's a start.

I think DaFace is going to get interviews with them, which is why I really want Buck Buchanan to be on the list.

The 60's? You could throw a dart onto that roster and find great players.

There was no Jack Budde in the 70's. There was however an Ed Budde. And to be honest, I consider him one of the great anchors of those 60's teams. So the 70's were all terrible players.

80's: Gary Green maybe. Barbaro. Maybe Lowry. I guess Mackovic since he made the playoffs.

90's Thomas. Smith.

milkman · 02-08-2009, 07:56 AM

You'd have to include Abner Haynes in the 60s.

During the 80s, Art Still and Deron Cherry were by far the best players for the Chiefs.
I don't even consider it debatable.

The rest of the suggestions seem pretty good.
