Build an Offense of Former Chiefs
Last night, we talked about building a defense of former Kansas City Chiefs. That was tough.
This morning let's talk offense.
The guidelines are the same - pick players that are either active or at least potentially active NFL players. Check out Pro Football Reference's Chiefs page. Click on the year and then Starters & Roster to view full rosters for each year.
After the jump, I've got my former Chiefs that I'd could see filling a backup or even starting role on this team. Cut and paste the list into a comment and add your own.
Remember, this is part conversation starter and part walk down memory lane. Have fun with it.
WR: Samie Parker
LT: Kevin Sampson
LG: Ryan Lilja
RG: John Welbourn
RT: Jordan Black
TE: Tony Gonzalez
WR: Joe Horn baby!
QB: Damon Huard
FB: Tony Richardson
RB: Michael Bennett
What former Chiefs come to mind for you?

Joe Horn is alive?
WR: Snoop MinnisSamie Parker
LT: Jordan Black
LG: Kyle Turley
C: Casey Wiegmann
RG: John Welbourn
RT: Chris Terry
TE: Tony Gonzalez
WR: Joe Horn
QB: Tyler Thigpen (with this line you need mobility)
FB: Tony Richardson
RB: Michael Bennett
Honorable mention slot WR/PR and KR: Dante Hall (just a FA, not retired)
Tait not retiring would have made this a lot better. Hope I didn’t fail on trying to come up with something different/original on the line, I tried.

Also, who would have guessed that of the drafted QBs from the 2007 Draft, Thigpen has the best TD/INT Ratio, and only one of 3 with more TDs than INTs (Russell, ick, and Troy Smith)? Also in there are Quinn, Trent Edwards and Kevin Kolb. Not exactly turning out to be a shining class.

Former Chiefs who are in the NFL, and are any good, are in very short supply. That means one of two things: either (1) KC does a great job of keeping all its players who are any good, or (2) KC did a really, really poor job of developing prospects into starting talents.
I think we all know what the answer is.

or the really good ones we had got very old very quickly (Roaf, Shields, Green ... )
still, the fact is one COULD put together both Offense and Defense with our castoffs, and said team might just be able to beat the CURRENT team … and THAT speaks louder than anything

I had no idea Christian Okoye was still a potentially active NFL player. Sign him up!

Also, I think I’d rather have rookie Bowe than 2009 Bowe.

Trent Green over Lenny Dawson? Really?
I’d take Abner Haynes or Ed Podolak over Larry 2006 any day. Imagine Abner running behind that 2003 line, he’d probably be remembered as the greatest of all time.

Yeah, if we're going to veer completely off course like this
I’d have to go with the Jack Rudnay at center and you’d have to put JimTyrer at one tackle and Ed Budde at LG over Waters. And no way is Rison on my team. I’ll take Henry Marshall over him.

I DID ORIGINALLY HAVE RUDNAY AT CENTER BUT THOUGHT ID STICK WITH THESE GUSY BECAUSE THE CHEMISTRY IS ALREADY THERE.

Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
6. The Chiefs will go 7-9 in 2009, good for 2nd in the AFC West. Revision: We go 5-11 and finish behind Oakland.
7. Ryan Succop will not perform better in 2009 than Connor Barth did in 2008.
8. The Chiefs will have a bottom 10 defense this year.
9. RB will be a problem area this season on offense.

It's Been So Long Since The Chiefs Were Good On Offense
There’s not a full team that I could put together out of currently active players.

Do not forget
We had a QB named Steve DeBurg he played with a pin in his little finger. he played good if some of our current players played with his determation. we would have one hell of a team.

Steve DeBurg was the man! As was Joe Montana.
