With the end of the decade, it's time for us to select our all-decade team for the 2010s. Credit to Direckshun for the idea; I'm just implementing it.
Here are the rules:
1. I'll put up lists of position groups one at a time.
2. Each list will contain guys who had at least one notable stat line in their career. I'll generally put them in descending order of some key stat.
3. The stats will contain ONLY their body of work between 2010 and 2019 for the Chiefs. No pre-2010 stats and no stats for other teams.
4. The number of roster spots will be the same as the number of roster spots on the 2019 Super Bowl roster for the Chiefs.
5. You can use whatever criteria you want to select the team. It can be total stats for the decade, it can be dominance in a shorter period, it can be playmakers who didn't screw up badly, whatever. It's your call. Feel free to use any criteria not listed in your decision. For example, if you know that Terrance Copper was an amazing blocker, you can build that into your decision.
6. In a subsequent poll we will determine which players are the starters on the all-decade team. In the first round, you're just going to fill the 53-man roster.
Our first position group is safeties. FOUR safeties will make the all-decade team. So pick FOUR safeties. [Reply]

It's possible to do so, but it took a while to organize the data that I've got. (And I did it imperfectly at that.) I started to add in scoring, but most guys don't score so it didn't add a whole lot in my opinion. [Reply]

I haven't watched the NFL or The Chiefs all decade until this year and I'm always seeing CP not exactly thrilled when mentioning Berry. So I went with Parker, then the 3 I watched in 2019. [Reply]

Same.
Abdullah and Sorensen are close, but Dan has shown up in every playoff game and has been solid otherwise. [Reply]
And Scabby PissPoorTackly was on the field an awful lot for only having two starts. And 28 Tackles? I'm going to go out on a limb and say he missed at least another 30. [Reply]
