I think most of us would agree that the seasons between Trent Green (48-42) and Alex Smith (51-30) were dark years for Chiefs fans. The almost sucked the fandom out of me. This is also the time between Head Coaches Vermeil and Reid. Probably go hand in hand.
As we praise our respective deities for delivering us Patrick Mahomes II, let us take a moment to reflect upon the hard road we traveled before he came to ease our journey.
Which of these QBs were the most disappointing? (Poll to follow) [Reply]

Brodie Croyle, the only QB ever to start double digit games and never get a win!
Brodie for sure. All of the rest kind of did something right sometimes. Brodie never did anything right and he was always injured on top of it. His only saving grace was his hot wife. [Reply]
Cassel because as bad as he was, and everyone knew it, he continued to "grade out perfectly" and start until Haley gave up and sent a big F You to Pioli. [Reply]
Huard and Orton are the only two players on that list that I would even classify as NFL level QBs. They looked like superstars compared to the rest of those turds, which is just sad.
I can't believe Matt Cassel won 10 games in a season and went to a Pro Bowl. I can't comprehend how that ever happened. [Reply]
It depends on how you measure it. Cassel was the most damaging to the franchise. He pocketed the most money while being just good enough to cost us draft position and not quite bad enough to get benched.
I think Palko or Quinn were the worst QBs. They weren't even good enough to be QB #2s, much less starters. [Reply]
I still love the Brodie croyle play. It was the only time in a million years we even tried to draft our own. Those flunkies are way more acceptable than someone like Brady Quinn that was a known loser but was brought in purely because of his patriot tree connection [Reply]
