    Re: Who is on your Steelers Mt. Rushmore?

    My non player Mt Steelersmore

    The Chief - it all starts with him ...

    The Emperor Chaz - he created the Standard...

    Bill Nunn -without him this team doesn't have 4 of the 6 Lombardi's they have ...

    Art Rooney Jr -who along with Bill Nunn scouted those players and helped assemble the greatest teams to ever play


    as for one with players , sorry I cant do it ...

    how do you leave the foundation for all that was built off that Mountain and still have a mountain and the talent was and is abound to select just 4 is an insult to 20 more that are equally deserving in their own right ...

    that said enjoyed looking at others lists
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    If it’s names carved instead of faces I vote for Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala. That should take up all four spots.

    Man alive!!! this is a difficult question. There are so many Steelers greats... how can I pick just four. It’s not easy like it would be for Taperiots fans...

    -Tom Brady
    -Bill Belichick
    -Sony Camcorder

    Re: Who is on your Steelers Mt. Rushmore?

    Limas, Jarvis, Huey, Bill Austin


    On a serious note
    Art Rooney Sr: The founder, the organizational patriarch
    Dan Rooney: He was vital in building the team into a successful winner
    Chuck the Emperor: 4 time Super Bowl champion coach. Head master of the dynasty
    Joe Greene: Best player in team history. Centerpiece of the dominant defense of the 70s

    If its players only, I cant argue with this. I may want to put Franco or Bradshaw instead of Ben.

    So so far, the consensus is:

    Mean Joe
    Lambert
    Ben
    Franco

    Somehow I want to sneak “The Bus” in there. He is Black and Gold through and through. I feel like he single handedly sparked that SB run, with his performance against the Bears in the snow. I don’t know if there is anyone who loved being a Steelers more.

    This franchise has had far too many great players to have a Mt. Rushmore.

    I literally can't reduce the list of greatness to 4 people.

    Yeah, it really is too hard, and no matter who you choose you’re going to leave deserving players off.

    The unanimous person to be on first is Mean Joe. Also I’m never leaving Lambert off. But how do you leave off Ben, or Bradshaw or Ham or Franco or Troy or Blount or Stallworth or Swan or Bettis or... the list just goes on. Plus you have coaches and owners who shouldn’t be left off.

    All I know for sure is that we need a bigger mountain.

    Even the top 10 players in steelers history is so hard!

    That’s what makes the exercise so challenging. MJG is unanimous. Lambert symbolizes everything the Steelers represent. The last two come down to eras and personal favorites IMO.

    Yeah, it’s basically an exercise in expressing your particular preferences as a fan. There are many “right” answers.

    I’d like to think that TJ and Minkah will one day be potentially “right” answers as well.

    Personally, I have MJG and Lambert... and then like a five or six way tie.

    I’m surprised Mike Webster isn’t right up there on most people’s lists. He’s arguably the greatest to have ever played the position.

    Agreed, Joe Greene is the all time top Steeler. Lambert is a hair behind him and the next 2 are the most difficult.

    For me, I saw the late 70's teams up until now and the guy from 1979-present that arguably did things on the field that nobody else at his position did was Polamalu. So he is #3 for me.

    The final guy I lean to is Franco. He carried the load offensively until Bradshaw became a better QB and the Steelers passed the ball more. He was 2nd all time in NFL history in rushing when he retired. As much as I could look at Bradshaw or Ben up there, neither was the 2nd best, or better, all time in anything when they retired...other than SB winning QB with Bradshaw.

    That’s an interesting way to look at it. You could also make a case for Mike Webster and Rod Woodson being at least top two all time at their position.

    But we don’t really think about Woodson when we talk about the top Steelers because he wasn’t a part of any of our championships.

    You could almost do a mountain for each position group...and it would be a legit mountain...
