We have an elite running game and an elite pass rush (barring Houston getting resigned), the rest of the team is a bunch of question marks. We can beat some good teams and lose to some shitty ones. Have a winning season and for the most part be pretty successful. Nothing wrong with what we have, but we aren't building the 90s Cowboys here.

Name one.
Even the Seahawks, who have to be considered the most complete team in the league, needed a fluke-ass booted onside kick and an immobile Aaron Rodgers to storm back. A TON had to go right for them to get to the SB last season. And again, I don't see a massive talent gap between the Chiefs and Seahaws. I like our pass catchers and box-7 better. I like their DBs and OL better. Our RBs and STs are a wash. Wilson may well be the difference between the two but even with him, it took some pretty outstanding fortune for them to get to where they got.
The Broncos are Manning and if he's not Manning, he's definitely not a world beater. That Pats are probably the closes you can come up with but that teams far from unbeatable.
The 90's Cowboys don't don't exist; they can't exist in a cap era. That's my point exactly - it's a parity driven league. You don't build juggernauts anymore and any expectation that the Chiefs will suddenly find the rosetta stone that allows them to do so is kinda nutty.
As I stated (and Deez restated). The only way to have a 10 year window is with a HOF quarterback. Now we may even be entering an era where that doesn't do it for you as they start requiring 1/3 of your cap to hold onto, but we'll see. That said, we don't have a HOF quarterback and if you want to continue to hold the sins of Scott Pioli (not drafting Russell) against Dorsey, you're welcome to do so, reason be damned.
Dorsey's done a damn fine job turning this team into a legitimate contender. Is it a prohibitive favorite? No, no it is not. But it's not some also-ran either. This is a team that other teams are not happy to see on their schedule.
