Stunned and Shocked! Is Drew Moor a Legend or Not?

Here's the title of my last article:  "Will There Be Anymore Legends After Drew Moor?"  Do you see what I did there in that title?  I took it for granted that Drew Moor is considered a legend. It never crossed my mind that he wouldn't be a legend.

Boy, did a number of you take umbrage with that!  (Man, I like that word a lot!)  Here's one who believes he is:

@RapidsSouthStds @Burgundywave He's a legend in our house. Son named Damon Drew tells that. But Drew is a legend to us for his off the (1/2)

@RapidsSouthStds @Burgundywave field stuff as much as his on the field stuff. Just a great guy and great role model for my kids. (2/2)

Some took issue (yes, I retired the word 'umbrage' for the rest of the article--sorry!):

@RapidsSouthStds @Burgundywave No. Fan favorite due to his historically friendly relationship with the Supporters' Club, but not a legend.

More was said and can be said, for sure.  But this brings up a number of questions:

1. What makes an elite defender?  Drew can't point to goals scored, assists, nor any other offensive category.  Clearances?  Possibly.  Stability at the position?  That's clear he's been a stalwart there since 2009, playing in 176 games, and (in my mind) still the captain of our Colorado Rapids. But what would make any defender, but specifically Drew Moor, elite to have him unanimously discussed as a legend?
2. What makes a legend, anyway? According to some, it's not because of his friendly rapport with the supporters, nor of him being a fan favorite. Strong work on the pitch, solid commitment to the community off the pitch?
3. And to the particular point at hand, can a case be made for Drew Moor's status as Rapid legend (which I think a case can be made)?  Why or why not?
