It's not really that. It's that the Chiefs have been trying to turn other people's also-rans into passable QBs. Like they're trying to find Drew Brees. Who's about as rare in free agency as Tom Brady was in the draft.
You're right in that they need to switch strategies, though.
And they also need to switch their mindset. For them for years (Vermiel tenure the exception) the quarterback position has not been the engine that runs the team. It's been a middle management role where the credo is "whatever you do don't **** up".
They need an entire philosophy change. Which, as much as I disliked the hire, I thought would come with Andy Reid.
And then he traded for Alex Smith. Fulfilling both the "also ran" and the "middle management" requirements.
