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

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.
Patrick Mahomes
Bill Self
George Brett
Travis Kelce
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. [Reply]

You forgot Bobby Sippo -preseason world champ [Reply]
Yeah I guess it's DT. Also Salvy, Reid and Kelce will make strong cases when they hang it up. If Salvy somehow wins another WS and makes the HoF, you'd have to seriously consider him. [Reply]
