Good morning. As you know, the Kansas City Chiefs fell short of their goal of an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl this season.
There is no doubt in my mind, had Eric Moulds, our fantastic rookie receiver who had over 300 yards receiving in the playoffs, gained one more yard, Joe Montana would have beaten the Jets in overtime and we would now be going to Denver to own those frauds again.
But that isn't what happened, and we lost our chance at making history. No doubt, part of our lost chance was due to some unfortunate injuries that unexpectedly brought this fantastic roster to it's knees in Week 17. We're very much looking forward to getting those players back in 1997. Especially Zach Thomas. What a fantastic draft pick he was.
Our goal has not changed. We're here to get back to, and win, the Super Bowl. Of course, we'll need a quarterback to do that, and we haven't heard from Joe Montana if he'll be back next season or not. We'll give Joe some time, but of course he is going to be 41.
To that end, the search will begin in earnest for a younger quarterback. Whether that player comes from the draft, or free agency, or even a trade, who can say? I can tell you this: we will explore every avenue in addressing the position.
And now, our owner Lamar Hunt has a few words to say.
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know we're very pleased with the job Carl and Marty are doing. They've both been signed to three-year contract extensions, which will keep them Chiefs through the 2000 season. Tough break on the injuries this year.
Thanks for coming and don't forget to stop by Worlds of Fun this offseason.
