Best Chiefs roster in franchise history

[RunKC]

Which roster do you think was/is the best in franchise history? And honestly why is it not this years roster?

-Chiefs have the best HC
-Arguably (we certainly think he is) the best DC in the league
-top 3 defense that only lost Sneed and should still be top 10
-an offense with 2 elite speed WR’s (Hollywood/Worthy), Rice and Wiley as a complimentary player to go with Mahomes/Kelce/Pacheco
-top 3 kicker in the league

Unless injuries occur (knock on wood) I think this team is KO’ing a lot of teams in the regular season like they did in 2020. Raiders are getting curb stomped. Broncos are getting beaten by double digits easy.

This team is so loaded man. Can 2020 or any other Chiefs team compare?

I'll be shocked if he doesn't hit 50 TD.

If it happens, it's because the Chiefs are killing clock and grinding down defeated defenses.

He already did this in 2022, but even that season, it was HARD for him, every week.

If no one gets hurt, this is going to be easy. Laughably easy. Teams are going to be giving us yards every snap.

Yep this exactly right. I threw $1,000 on Mahomes to win MVP Friday after the Worthy pick. +600. Will go on a nice vacation next March when it hits : )

4.27 and 4.21 speed. I dont think people understand how much that is going to open up the offense.

LT is a question mark.

Injuries are always a concern and Kelce, while still bringing it, certainly looked old at times.

In the NFL, it seems you can always be blindsided by something.

Could use some depth at DT and RB.

Definitely agree. I have reason to be optimistic as we did well in free agency with brown, and in the draft, certainly the first two picks.

I think we have a better team than our last two Super Bowl winners, but will we have a team that had as much luck? I hope so.

And there are definitely some question marks.
If we get Smith back we should be better at left tackle despite him being a year older.

And when we play teams with two elite receivers, we are going to miss Snead.

And the fact that no one has ever 3peated means we are really bucking the odds.

But I think we can do it

A threepeat, in the salary cap era? Man. It's hard to believe there's even a chance. If there's a team that ever could, this is it.

Conversely, if the new rules give inferior opponents cheap BS kickoff touchdowns, that just presents more opportunities for Mahomes to reach the 5K/50TD plateau again.....

Ain't it cool?

It's been a lot of fun watching teams trying to draft (and ultimately come up short) with the sole intention of taking Mahomes down, and now we're watching the league (arguably) implement new rules to give lesser teams a fighting chance against franchises with Mahomes-ian level talent (and there's only one of those).

Mahomes and the Chiefs are re-writing the standards of the NFL.

This.

I don't figure in the rookies because we have no idea what they will really end up being.

Nitpicking but it depends on fau

May need some more depth at de

No doubt, but 30 years from now, this team will be remembered as being loaded with HOF talent as well.

It's easy to say this NOW after we've seen a couple of seasons of Skyy Moore, but Worthy is going to walk in here light years ahead of where Skyy was coming out of the MAC and into the NFL. It's different this time.

I feel like we're all going to be pleasantly surprised with FAU this season. Just a hunch.

Don't get me wrong, I see a lot of potential and am excited about the rooks. When I see it on and NFL field I will start to get real excitement.

We’re one Pacheco shoulder surgery (he’s already had 2), from watching CEH miss holes and run up the backs of our OL another year.

Proven depth at RB is terrible ATM, and I expect Veach to sign a veteran FA, trade, or even sign roster cuts out of preseason.

As it stands right now, LT and RB2 are this rosters biggest concerns.

I like some of the undrafted FAs we picked up.

I do feel like we’ll shy away from the run more and utilize more jet sweeps. However, I wouldn’t mind bringing back Damien Harris. He’s 4 years younger than McKinnon and already knows the system. Plug and play

I don't think that's nitpicking at all. With Omenihu unavailable, FAU needs to step it up, big time. But the Chiefs must have belief the pass rush will be okay since they didn't address it in the draft at all.

Yeah that year we lost Schwartz, Duvernay-Tardif, Osemele, and then losing Fisher was the final nail in that coffin. Then playing a Bucs team with a really good front. They could drop 8 into coverage and still have Mahomes running for his life at the snap.

It also didnt help that nobody could catch a cold in that game and we got fisted by some calls.
