Technically, Kenney, but mostly DeBerg.
Because I wasn't really into NFL until HS. Spent all my free time playing soccer, and didn't even have a TV in the house until we bought a Commodore 64 in 85/86. About the only thing I knew about the NFL by the mid-80s was Terry Bradshaw on the cover of Boy's Life in the fall of 1980, the first issue I got as a Cub Scout. I remember being really into Al Toon with the Jets until I started following Dino Hackett. But I recall the local radio guy talking about what a great hire this Schottenheimer guy was, and what a raw deal he got in Cleveland. Then that fall I saw DT and Neil doing their thing and that's where it started. |

Chiefs QB history from Dawson through Green is just a comical shitshow of 1/2 season starters, including Mike Livingston.
He evidently went to the pro bowl as the Chiefs starting QB in 1969. He then started 5 games over the next 3 years before starting 8, 6 and 7 from 73-75 then 14, 11 and 14 for the next 3 seasons before falling off the earth. It's like that through the 80s as well. Just absolute carnage and attrition under center. Seemingly nobody ever made more than 8-10 starts and the Chiefs had 3-4 starting QBs in any given year. I knew it was bad before my time but I never realized the friggen horror show that happened under center for this franchise for about 15 years. I mean lord, Deberg and Kreig had to be water in the desert and that's a big ol' steaming pile of average right there. Being a fan of the Chiefs has not paid off for awhile, gents... EDIT: Wait - WTF? Livingston AND Dawson went to the pro bowl? There has to be a story there that I don't know. I understand why he backed up Len for so long but how did they both make the pro bowl that year? Was it just a completely different format?

Deberg. Remember watching him having his finger reduced on the field after dislocation.

Steve Fuller. When I was a kid, the cops used to cum to school and give out player cards. Art Still, Gary Spani, Steve Fuller, Barbaro et al. Bill Kenney was about that time too the. We drafted Blackledge.
A threesome of fail. |

Same for me. I started to become "football-aware" in 1980 because of the Steelers-Rams Super Bowl. I started to become "Chiefs-aware" in like 86 or 87. I became a hardcore fan in 1989.

Really feel sorry for the Livingston fans. They just missed the glory and got every ounce of the suck.

I remember he was so immobile that Harlan and Dawson always referred to his "statuesque" presence in the pocket. My only memory was when the Chiefs played at Chicago in 1987. Chiefs were 2 TD underdogs, and Kenney threw two early TDs to jump out to a 14-0 lead. Of course the final score ended up being 31-28 Chicago.
