The Chiefs have had success with retreads. Every QB the Chiefs have ever drafted has been a bust of one degree or another.

Blackledge and Croyle: the only QBs they've drafted in the first 120 picks of the draft.

So it's not that every draft pick QB was a bust it's that they didn't put any emphasis to make them successful or give them the opportunities like other teams by drafting and playing them.

Don't forget Matt Blundin 2nd round pick that had four pass plays of his career.

It doesn't stop there though. Every quarterback they've drafted has been a failure, regardless of round. If we're going to live by the "insanity definition" that pawnbroker mentioned, we should probably never draft another QB in any round. Of course, I don't subscribe to that theory or, for that matter, to that definition of insanity.

What if you throw in trades for draft picks. Montana and Green where the best QBs in the last few decades. They gave firsts for them. Grbac, Cassel... **** it to lazy to waste the tiem.

That's not even true. They had the most wins for a team without a championship. Chiefs had 101 wins. 49ers had 113, Bills 103, Cowboys tied us for 101. Those teams were all in the Super Bowl. Rams only won a third of their games but had a SB championship season.

Not one of those retreads took them to the Super Bowl. You can't go through your whole history hoping to get the second coming of Len Dawson, the ultimate retread.

The only QB to get the Chiefs to the super bowl was a retread. You might call him the first coming of Len Dawson.
