I agree on 3 of the four. Ward is my all-time favorite, but he doesn't belong on our monument. To me it would be The Chief, Noll, Mean Joe, and then either Ernie Stautner or Franco Harris.

Great read and man oh man it will be hard to pick. I agree on the first three and Became a STEELERS devoted fan in 1968 so I watched the 70's teams. There are several players of that era whom one could choose. I'm picking a player who epitomizes the call of the STEELERS. One who has played with full heart and enthusiasm, Dominant and still on the roster,.......JAMES HARRISON. The Bus, Heinz, Polamolo, Rothlisberger, many could be chosen but James is in my opinion a no brainier.

That's almost impossible.
If Jack Lambert isn't on there, I am traveling to a different mountain.
Oh and my four?
Mean Joe
Jack Lambert
Ham
Bradshaw
That was the dynasty those brought us four out of six rings.
If there was a mountain side by side?
we could then add
Big Ben
Deebo
Polamalu
and I would have to sit on it for the last entry.

Rooney, Noll and Mean Joe must be on there. As much as I love Hines, there is no way he is even in the conversation. I'd put Lambert on there. He was the face of the D and it's nastiness. But, you could argue a few others but they would be older players. No newer players should be on there because they didn't build the team to what it is today. That comes from your founders and that has to be players and coaches from the 70's.

I was making an attempt to link the PAST with the PRESENT. In no way would I overlook Jack Lambert. Like some here have said, way to many to just limit it to a measly four. It's funny when you think about that........we are complaining of limiting when some teams can't even come up with four. LOVE IT and of course my STEELErS too. Slash for number five !!!!!

In Hines' defense. The dude was the epitome of Steelers football in his prime, so I get the Hines love. He's a UGA guy as well, so I do tend to rank Hines a bit higher than deservingly(bias).
My Steelers Mount Rushmore would be
The Chief
Noll
Mean Joe
Jack Lambert

More than 4 people are responsible for winning 6 Super Bowls, so Mt Rushmore isn't relevant.

Bradshaw.
More than 4 people are responsible for the 240+ year history of the United States, but we have a Mt Rushmore.
It a long off season. Gotta have something harmless to banter about.

I am glad Bradshaw is a hall of famer, glad he was our QB but I just don't think he was all that special.

Almost an impossible task, but hard to argue for taking anyone outside of the 70's. Those guys were the foundation for the franchise and put this team on the map. However, I want some guys from my era, so here is my Mt. Rushmore (players only):
Ben Roethlisberger
Hines Ward
Troy Polamalu
James Harrison
As much as I wanted to consider many of the players from the 90's, there were no titles. I just don't think you can tell the story of the Steelers of the 2000s without those guys being near or at the top of the list.

The problem with Lambert is that he was like 220. At 6-4 that makes him pretty skinny. He'd get run the **** over in today's game. Them 320 pound tackles would roll his lanky, angry *** up.
I agree that no 4 players could be fairly chosen. The Steelers are still the greatest franchise in sports history, despite recent lies to the contrary.
Forced to make a choice, I go with the first three plus Nine Deuce because I'm biased and he's my favorite.

if he played today he would have the same access to weights and dietary information today's players have...he would likely not the the bean pole he was....

I'm gonna tell Deebo you said that...
I agree. Look at Alan Faneca today vs his playing days. He is carrying over 100 LBS less than in his playing days. Lambert certainly had the frame to add weight.

So your saying you know DEBO???? Do you really think I'm including DEBO in the ***** catagory?? Read the beginning of this thread as It will let you know I have him on my Mt. Rushmore. I realize sarcasm is a hidden emptitude in the world of posting but JAMES HARRISON is one of my all time favorite STEELERS. My reference to "*******" was the me me me celebrate a 10yard gain tackle type players. Jack Lambert would bring the attitude of letting players know that is their JOB and you just gave up 10yards. Thank You sir.!!!!

Greg Lloyd used to get on his teammates when they messed up. So he was a Jack Lambert type guy imo. That's one thing ya gotta love about the Steelers defense, especially the linebackers. This franchise has had some mean badass dudes throughout
Like Blitz said ...we're gonna need a bigger mountain.
Should have an offensive player, and Mike Webster was the anchor.
His face was etched out of stone..
If it was up to me and I had to choose only four it would be the owner, the coach, a D player and an O player.
Rooney, Noll, Mean Joe, and Iron Mike....sorry Jack.
