Football All-time Best 11 Players by Team-AFC West_NFL.com - Page 5

It's the offseason so clickbait but whaddya' think? Are there enough Olinemen on the picks for KC? How does San Diego not have a SB with all the studs they've had? Doyou agree that Elway should have been on the Denver list twice because he's just that good? **** the Faiders.

Kansas City Chiefs
1) Derrick Thomas, OLB (1989-1999)
2) Tony Gonzalez, TE (1997-2008)
3) Len Dawson, QB (1962-1975)
4) Willie Lanier, LB (1967-1977)
5) Will Shields, OG (1993-2006)
6) Bobby Bell, LB (1963-1974)
7) Buck Buchanan, DT (1963-1975)
8) Priest Holmes, RB (2001-07)
9) Emmitt Thomas, DB (1966-1978)
10) Eric Berry, S (2010-present)
11) Johnny Robinson, S (1960-1971)
Coach: Hank Stram (1960-1974)

As historic as Dawson's contributions are to the Chiefs franchise, and as iconic as this hardcore picture of him smoking a cig during Super Bowl I's halftime is, Thomas and Gonzalez are the superior players. The two were statistical marvels and matchup nightmares in their time and are both top-five all-timers at their respective positions.

After the top six, it's tough sledding. As with Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles, Holmes had a brief-but-historic run of play with Kansas City after the turn of the century. Of the three tailbacks, Holmes' three-season stretch of 6,566 total yards stands out as the most noteworthy accomplishment. That and his three first-team All-Pros.

The back end is dominated by secondary studs, including Berry, the lone active Chief on this list. Seven years into his career, Berry (who is apparently nicknamed the Fifth Dimension?) has already earned a spot, thanks to his consistent play, leadership ability and one hell of a comeback story.

I ran out of room for fan favorites like Charles, Christian Okoye and Otis Taylor.

No Charles is criminal, he's my all time favorite Chief and I grew up with priest (who I love aswell but JC is better IMO)

CoMoChief · 06-25-2018, 03:31 PM

How scary good would have Charles been behind Priest Holmes' OL?

Most would say different styles of running, which is true. Holmes trusted his HOF OL and let his blocks develop, Charles hit his hole with a crap OL and boom he was off to the races. There are very few RB's that got into the 2nd level as fast as Charles did.

UT has sure put out a lot of very good RB's over the yrs.

ThaVirus · 06-25-2018, 05:34 PM

Priest was the most productive, Larry Johnson was the most physically gifted, Jamaal was the most talented. All were A+ guys at their peak.

Love it

I watched Charles, multiple times, run around and utilize linemen who were on the ground as blockers. He'd angle defenders into them. That's good vision.

If he had a good OL, he'd have dominated more than he did (when his body allowed him).

1. He's pretty notorious for being an asshole to fans.

2. He's a pompous prick and I can't stand listening to him in retirement.

3. I learned from Hard Knocks that TG is THAT GUY who complains 24/7. Just bitch bitch bitch. You could tell Jason Dunn hated listening to him bitch all goddamn day. Ever worked with that guy? Yeah, nobody likes working with that guy even when he's great at his job.

4. He asked to be traded AT LEAST five times when he wasn't getting the ball enough in games, and sometimes even did this after KC won.

Tony was a great player but a pretty easy guy to dislike. Totally a me first guy from start to finish.

TG is a winner in life despite being a loser in his profession. If he's a dick, that means he's furious about the past.

He transcends the list as he's not only a Roided Up psycho, but he's an ex Donk and ex Raider. He's in his own category of deplorable.
