James was one of my favorite players as a kid. That corner tandem featuring he and Dale Carter were amazing. I'll never forget that play he made against the Raiders in OT in 1995 to win the game on a pick 6. In this interview he pretty much goes full bore on his time in KC, Grbac/Gannon, crying with DT after playoff losses and how the organization tries to make him buy a ticket to come back to a game. Starts at 12:25 mark.

The Gannon/GrBac mess still makes my stomach turn.
The Gannon/Grbac decision should go down as a top 10 worst coaching decisions of all time. I remember hearing Marty saying back then "A player will not lose his job due to an injury" regarding Grbac coming back while Gannon was tearing the league up. It was such a bad decision. [Reply]

Just one of many bad decisions that Marty made in Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington and San Diego. He was a great coach that simply didn't have the killer instinct; he would start playing it safe and end up losing games. [Reply]

Was Gannon a better choice than Grbac? Sure. Tearing the league up? You might want to go back and look at those stats again. [Reply]

He actually changed in san diego....and if the charger who intercepted brady takes a knee, rather than trying to return it, chargers prob go on to win the super bowl. That was bad luck, not on schott

Yeah, Gannon's record as the starting QB while in KC is 13-13, but because Grbac failed to score at the end of the Denver game when the radio communication between the QB and OC went out and he had to call his own play, people remember both Gannon and Grbac in a way that doesn't really match history.
That is not to say that starting Grbac was the right decision, but Gannon wasn't the MVP until he went to the Raiders and hooked up with the QB "guru" Gruden. He never played lights out in KC the way he did for the Raiders.

There is video of Marty walking the sidelines before the game, telling every corner back and safety that when they make the game winning interception to just go down.
He coached that team to the Super Bowl, but Chargers had to Charger.
