    That pretty much covers it.

    Unfortunately.

    Revis is the only other possibility, and I wouldn't put him there over any of those four.

    Edit: I'm not counting coaches; if I did, I'd still pick those four, but would put Weeb ahead of Revis for #5.

    Interesting point about which teams would have a coach on their Rushmore. Dolphins, Patriots, and Packers are pretty obvious - any others? Niners? Bills? And what about owners? Bears? Raiders?

    Gerry Philbin was a great player. Every bit as good as Klecko. Namath, Maynard, Klecko, Philbin

    As a younger generation fan I find it insulting not to include Martin. He is one of only three Jets players who are in the HOF and was a a consistent force in the backfield and team leader for nearly a decade.

    Stram yes (with Tony Gonzalez, Derrick Thomas, and Len Dawson, I guess?), but I'm not so sure about the other two. Landry is worthy, but they have another coach who actually won back-to-back Super Bowls, and they have lots of players who deserve it.

    Despite his obvious importance for the existence of the franchise, I can't go with Paul Brown at all for the Bengals - he wasn't anything special as their coach, finishing with less than a .500 record and never winning a playoff game in nine seasons (of course, the Bengals' Rushmore isn't overly impressive - Anthony Munoz, Ochocinco, Ken Anderson, and Boomer or Isaac Curtis?). Paul Brown would be far more appropriate for Cleveland's Rushmore, along with Jim Brown, Otto Graham, and Lou Groza (Marion Motley was truly great, but only had five elite years before the injuries took their toll).
