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 next position group is quarterbacks. THREE quarterbacks.will make the all-decade team. So pick THREE quarterbacks.
Note: I'm only including quarterbacks who recorded yardage in an actual NFL game. [Reply]

Except that got us a year of Crennel.
Though, taking the long view, Crennel got himself and Pioli fired, which got us Andy, which got us Mahomes who got a Super Bowl win. So it all worked out.
But still - fuck Romeo. That was a brutal season. [Reply]

Well the poll is public so theres that.
I voted for him as the 3rd because while he wasn't very good, it was not his fault he was in that position. It's not his fault he was handed the job for that long without competition. He didnt try to be bad; he did the best he could. And there was nobody else but him that did anything more than hold a clipboard save for a spot start or two. So it's not like anyone else was worthy or overly deserving. [Reply]

Although, to be fair, you could argue that 2010-2019 Len Dawson probably would’ve still been better than most of the QB’s eligible on this poll. [Reply]
