Pick your all-time greatest Chiefs players, Part 1 - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 07-03-2005, 05:35 PM

As a fortissimo in my "Pick your all-time greatest..." series, we now come to the Chiefs.

As we all know, there have been many, many great Chiefs, and I can't pick just 25 for the poll, so we'll make it a democratic process. I'm going to post 10 polls that contain every Chiefs player who either a) was on the roster for five or more years, OR b) started for the Chiefs for at least two seasons.

I'm getting my information from the Chiefs' media guide, so don't pick on me if you think someone did or did not start in certain years. I'm just regurgitating the official information, and perhaps a worm or two.

In each of the upcoming ten polls (to be posted over the next couple of weeks, and working in alphabetical order), I'll ask you to pick the FIVE greatest players on that list. I'll then take the top five choices from each of those polls and develop a second round that contains only the top 50 players. We'll then narrow it down from there in a manner to be determined.

On each poll, I'll list the player's name, position, college, jersey number, years with the Chiefs, and years as a starter with the Chiefs.

Ready? Here's Poll #1.

I just wanted to clarify your position.

I am not a big fan of Marcus, but in all objectivity, I couldn't leave him off the list of 5 in this group.

You should have voted for Bobby Bell.
He is one of the 2 greatest ever.

Opps I only picked Kevin's usual 3 hmmm might have got Allen in under the wire in that case.

If you think that was bad, wait until I get to the E's. Everyone with five years or two starting years will be in the poll. Everyone.

I only remember the end of his career right before Criswell stepped in, but I remember him being a stud...

After that there's Anders... Allen...

Then the list begins to drop...

Yeah, Bell's a no-brainer (sorry, luv2rite). I was just disappointed to not see Barbaro getting more votes since he was a great player, and I couldn't resist putting a plug in for Alt while I was at it. I worry more about those two not making the next round than I do Bell, who should be a lock.

**Rain Man** · 07-03-2005, 06:38 PM

C'mon, people! Barbaro!

A couple of guys that I liked who probably won't get many votes were Rich Baldinger and Ed Beckman. They both were long-time loyal backups who were always there when needed. I liked those guys.

As good as he is, even he can't subjugate the mighty alphabetical order system.

Jenson71 · 07-03-2005, 06:47 PM

Keep fucking doubting Scanlon overcoming the alphabetical system!

Chieficus · 07-03-2005, 06:47 PM

BTW...

If anyone wants the stats on any of these guys, check out:

It's great for the offense, so/so for the defense (I don't think it even has sack statistics before the mid-70s), but it's one of the most comprehensive sites I've found for the entire NFL...

FloridaChief · 07-03-2005, 06:51 PM

I went with

Aguiar (ughhh...)
Arbanas
Bell (of course)

Oh--and if anyone votes on this poll and doesn't check off on Bobby Bell, please post this fact on a thread, so I can keep a running tab of the most know-nothing, shit-stupidest so-called Chiefs fans in the world are...

Thanks.

old_geezer · 07-03-2005, 08:00 PM

Bell
Alt
Arbanas

After that I settled for Barbaro and Anders although I don't believe either of them belong on the final list.

I'll back you up on this. When it comes to know-nothing and shit stupid, you are the expert.

As a ChiefsPlanet legacy, I think that I have the right to demand that in the future, when you yip-yap an ineffectual reply to my posts, please to be removing your mummified tongue from the asshole of every female 'Planet member first...

That way we can all be stupified by your ignorant, unmuffled idiocies.

Thanks...
