I'm indifferent about Lynch, but it's no wonder fans are desperate for a 1st round qb. It's not like the Chiefs way is some proven recipe for success.

Um, Tebow

There's your list. Clearly Denver has had much more success overall as a franchise than the Chiefs have but let's not act said they're some QB development factory


EDIT: oh and I guess you could include Cutler, technically, as a Denver drafted QB to win a playoff game, just not with Denver.

So much for the Chiefsplanet theory that you MUST draft and develop your franchise quarterback.

Quarterbacks drafted by Denver who won a playoff game for Denver:

Tim Tebow

Quarterbacks NOT drafted by Denver who won at least one playoff game for Denver (3 of the 4 took Denver to the Super Bowl):

John Elway (drafted by the Colts)
Peyton Manning (drafted by the Colts)
Jake Plummer (drafted by the Cardinals)
Craig Morton (drafted by the Cowboys)

Denver seems to have had pretty good success with retread quarterbacks. Is it possible that the Chiefsplanet brain trust has been wrong all of these years about the NECESSITY to draft and develop the QBOTF?
