There's definitely an argument to make
for him as the greatest Chief.

Played the most important position for the Chiefs greatest team. That alone puts you in the running for the Greatest Chief ever. The Greatest chief position player of all time is probably Tony G. Tony G. is arguably the greatest Tight End ever. You can’t say that about other Chief greats like DT. However, the all time list of great tight ends is shorter than the list of linebackers.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
No Question
No question on this one. I knew it was Len Dawson without seeing any names, just a number. ( Sorry Matt Cassel )
I wonder if there would have been someone stupid enough to note vote for Len Dawson if it was put up to vote lol.

I think Dawson is the only Chief to ever wear # 16 as a Chief

According to the Chiefs webpage
no one other than Dawson has worn it in franchise history (even in the days of the Texans).
Shows you how much I know lol. I really didnt look it up. I knew no one had ever worn it after Dawsons time. So chances weren’t great for someone to have worn it before him.
Ah well, he is still the greatest player to wear the 16 then :)

What, No Poll?
Ha…kidding. :) Seriously, though, has anyone else actually worn 16 for the Chiefs?
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.
4. Larry Johnson has already played his last meaningful game for the Kansas City Chiefs. He's gone before the 2009 season starts.
5. Larry Johnson will gain 0 yards rushing for the 2009 Kansas City Chiefs.
I love the white uniforms
I remember when Marty went back to them.
I always remember Lenny and Nick on HBO with the weeks highlights.
There was a time that the Chiefs actually got a little love in the Mass Media.
Thanks to Lenny :)
