Other Sports KC Sports Mount Rushmore?

suzzer99 · Today, 10:14 AM

Yeah it's the offseason and I'm bored, probably Q. I think this exercise is pretty easy if you exclude active players:

George Brett
Len Dawson
Derrick Thomas
Tom Watson

But when Mahomes becomes eligible, who does he push off? I guess once you get to the point where more people never saw them play than did, they're going to fall off. But rings last forever of course, so it's really hard to push Dawson off.

I guess it's Tom Watson then, but man he was a lot of fun if you're old enough to remember. And the guy was really active in KC, not like he's just from here and that's it. I'm still not over the 2009 British Open. Only the Royals, Chiefs and Tom Watson can make me hurt that bad.

And then does Kelce push someone off? This is hard.

I almost think it should be limited to one per sport, except for football since Chiefs football is indelible to the Chiefs community.

So I think Dawson or Thomas goes.

Painful, of course, but that's what Rushmores are about.

Watson stays for sure. He was the no 1 player from 78-83

Brett Lone Royals HOF Brought national eyes to Kc

Dawson won us a SB played in another.

I say push DT off

I guess I’d remove DT, even tho he is my personal favorite on mountain right now. To me winning a major in golf is similar to a ring. And since we couldn’t field a competent offense or have the balls to start Gannon over Grbac vs Denver that leaves DT off.

Andy Reid just for the Wallcrawler meltdown.

**loochy** · Today, 10:26 AM

Pat Tabler belongs

In that scenario, DT has to go. No rings, KC only won 3 playoff games during his entire career, and he somehow managed to play in 10 playoff games without recording a single tackle. Mahomes would easily take his spot right now.

Mahomes\Reid
Brett
Dawson\Watson
Lamar

Since I put Lamar and Dawson on there I didn't include Stram. Mahomes or Reid would be up there in one spot for the new age I feel. George Brett because nobody in Royals history has had more influence on this city, not even Salvy although he's getting closer and closer each year he defies age. You could argue Watson but I'm not a big golf guy. I think Chiefs and Royals run this city and always will, but if you wanted to swap one, you could take Dawson off and put Watson in his place. But Lamar has to be up there due to what he brought to this city and to the NFL as well, and the recent Dynasty we're experiencing you'd have to put Mahomes/Reid up there even though we're only in year 6 of Mahomes starting.

That's mine right there. Keep in mind I'm in Idaho and don't follow Royals baseball at all. I do know George Brett. Great player. Pine Tar and the statue where people fight. When Mahomes comes eligible, he bumps anybody except Lamar Hunt

Patrick Mahomes
Bill Self
George Brett
Travis Kelce

Reid would not fit. Too fat.

That can't be right? A linebacker with 0 tackles? In 10 games?

Mahomes - 3x SB Champ / 2x MVP / 3x SB MVP / could (will) be GOAT QB at end of career
Kelce - 3x SB Champ / GOAT TE
Dawson - SB Champ / 3x AFL Champ / SB MVP / AFL MVP / AFL Champ MVP
Watson - 9 Major wins / 6x PGA POY
Brett - WS Champ / AL MVP
Salvy - WS Champ / WS MVP

Love Derrick Thomas, and he was truly special, but he did not accomplish anywhere near what the others did. Yes, his career was cut short, but he did play 10 years as a LB, so he was near the end of his career.
