Damn, Sir, I feel as though I should give you the Hee Haw salute!
I'm 61 and thought I was amongst some of the oldest here.

Deberg. I was more of a baseball fan when I was a kid. And during the mid 80s, I was either deployed or in Virginia. It wasn't until the late 80s that I was able to even occasionally see them on TV.
Deberg certainly wasn't great, but goddamn did he have heart. Never forget watching him play with the pin sticking out of his finger. Hurt just to look at it. |

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?

I was at the first game ever played at Arrowhead - preseason against the Cardinals in '72. But I was 7, and while I remember being there, I didn't understand shit that was going on.
The next time I went to a game at Arrowhead, Grbac was QB. |
