I suppose they could start Jawaan Taylor at left tackle, like we once thought they would

For most of my life, any discussion along these lines started and stopped with "look at how many hall of famers were on the 1969 team". They fielded eight hall of famers plus Jim Tyrer and Otis Taylor. Discussion closed.

But now? Now we're looking at that's won three of the last five Super Bowls and easily could have won the last six in a row. The discussion of whether this is the best roster in the team's history is really merely a question of whether it's better than last year's roster.

I'll give it a thumbs up. This is the best roster in team history.

The OL and DL I'd agree.

I do wonder if today's skill position players would be as effective against the old school, when you could just murder guys all over the field.

Bob Hayes was faster than Deion Sanders and Darrell Green and didn't destroy everyone.

If we're playing by the old rules? It might be different.

Man it's crazy to look back at some old box scores.

Bob Hayes was basically Tyreek and had 1 catch for 1 yard in the 1966 championship game. LMAO

Context needs to be clarified in this discussion. The current generation of players would kill players from the 60's, 70s, and probably 80s. Most, if not all of this year's playoff teams would beat the '69 Chiefs - handily. What context are we discussing? The most talented roster ever or the most talented roster compared to the rest of the league?

I can't believe the 1998 Chiefs aren't getting more love here.

You mean like Kraft with a happy ending?

Yeah give me any Chiefs team from 2018 on against any Chiefs team from any years prior to that. Mahomes is so good he just tips the scale WAY too much for me to choose any team without him.
