Chris Wells, David Boston, Tom Tupa, and Alex Stepanovich(barely edged out Ty Howard and Tito Paul) :D.

Interesting trivia.

First Cards RB to ever rush for 1000 yards and 10 TDs in the same season. David Boston franchise leader in single season receiving yards. Tom Tupa first player to be one team's leading passer and another teams leading punter. Maybe we need more Ohio State guys. :)

Alex Stepanovich first player to be so bad the Cards drafted another Center the same year, then signed a high dollar free agent to play C, and ended up getting cut for an UDFA from Texas. :p

Ottis Anderson getting no love. :(

Same reason as Metcalf I assume, they both left.

I'd throw out Mel Gray and Roy Green but both have less stats than Fitz.

This is tough:

Warner
Fitz
Williams
Centers

Would like to fit in Lomax, Green, EJ Junior, Trippi, Dierdorf, both Wilsons, Don Coryell.

Thread title sounds like a bad porn, I'd feel bad for whoever this Rushmore chick is. But giddy-up, I think it have to be four dudes from way back, waaaay back.

I know that many of you think that Bill Bidwill held this franchise back, but consider where it would be had he not decided to move

had he not moved, we almost assuredly gotten an expansion team and an owner who actually cares about football.

dude doesn't belong on Mount Rushmore simply because he owns the team. two playoff seasons in 23 years shouldn't be immortalized.

just from a Zonie's perspective my Rushmore is:

Fitz, Warner, Aeneas and AW.

Warner took this team to their only Super Bowl appearance. He needs to be there.
The other three I would put up are Aeneas, Fitz and Centers.

Those are the right ones in my book.

I thought about Kurt but he will be on the Rams Mt. Rushmore. I also considered Tillman, but like chopper pointed out it would be symbolic more than for football accomplishments.

If it was players since they moved to AZ I would go Fitz, Centers, Boldin, and A. Williams. Lengthy careers as Cards and some of my favorite players.

Hippies don't do Mc E D's man, that aint even food. If there was an ' in the Cards I wouldn't have even thought about it.

In the age of Aquarius hippies went whereever was open at 2 a.m. I suspect even new-age hippies sneak to Mickey D's in the middle of the night.

This works also, but without warner we have zero success in the last 50 year's. Warner should be dipped in gold for what he did for us. He retires and were back to crapola.

Yeah, well that's true. After a certain time just about anything is game. I'm totally guilty, but Donald's is as bad as I/it gets.

Warner is the man.

That got me thinking, I did a quick Google search and couldn't find any NFL player that is in 2 teams rings of honor.

The Cards need to put Charley Johnson in their ROH. Then he'd fit that. Still can't figure out why he's in Denver's.

Jim Hart had the Cards in the playoffs in 1974 and 1975,Plus Jake Plummer 98 team beating the Cowboys 20-7 at Dallas in the playoffs.So your statement is not entirely true.
