Which Chiefs QB do You Dislike the Most???!?!

[Comanche]

Kenny played in the Pro Bowl and could throw bombs (and complete them). He set team records for passing yards (4,348) and completions (346) in a season. He had one really good receiver, Carlos Carson, who hauled in 80 passes for 1,351 yards. The rest of the team couldn't support him much.

Stephone Paige.

In the history of the Chiefs and the League, there have been MANY poor players and there will be many more. No, the lasting legacy of the Blackledge selection is in the mindset created in the front office. The Chiefs need to draft a QB in the first, develop his talent and build a team around him. They are afraid to do so because of the Blackledge selection. Yes, the front office can and should just "get over it." Nevertheless, it has seemed to be a factor in their decision making over the years.

Reverse team-building is the legacy. The position? An afterthought. A top 10 defense and a steady, unexceptional QB will get you every playoff game you ever lost again and again and again.

God, you guy's grasp of history is galling. The only reason Kenney was in a pro bowl is because three or four other QBs picked ahead of him declined to go that year for injury or whatever. The only reason he had "pro bowl" stats is because Joe Delaney drowned the year before, so they threw the ball 40 or 50 times a game. Carlos Carson was not his "Only Good Receiver." He had Henry Marshall, Stephone Paige, Walter White, all great receivers. He's the Chiefs all time leader in being sacked. Check out his stats in his only playoff game against the Jets. He threw for under 150 yards. Pathetic. And if he didn't suck so much, we wouldn't have drafted Sackledge. He was a pariah on this organization. Feh. I spit in his general direction.

Actually, if Steve Fuller hadn't sucked so much, the Chiefs would never have drafted Blackledge.

Kenney was a stopgap, picked up off the scrapheap.

He lasted as long as he did because Blackledge was a bust.

Pretty good "stopgap" though. He was eventually beat up by poor o line play. In 1983, however, Kenny was fun to watch.

He was injured in 1984. The O line in those years sucked. Kenny was a mobile QB who was able to complete bombs despite being often forced from the pocket.

Perhaps I should have said that Carson was GREAT in 1983. No other WRs on the team came close to his stats in 1983.

Despite the death of Delaney, Kenny still had to make the completions which he excelled at in 1983.

How in the world can anybody dislike Gannon ? All he did was do his job and win here.
