The Dorsey / Reid plan is the EXACT same process that has been repeated since Marty Schottenheimer was hired in the 80s. Trade for some other team's backup quarterback, try to assemble a good defense and hang around .500% to eke out a playoff berth or perhaps the division title in a down season for the other 3-4 AFC West franchises.
It doesn't win. It. Does. Not. Win.
Yet Chiefs' fans are totally okay with this mediocrity while teams like San Francisco, Indianapolis and Seattle are (or at least capable of) winning consecutive division titles and winning postseason contests because they refuse to trot out retread QBs like Steve Bono Elvis Grbac Trent Green Matt Cassel Alex Smith and instead take chances in investing a top 50 draft pick on a guy worth developing.
The only thing separating a 4-12 team from a 9-7 with a playoff loss team is draft position.
