DeBerg, Pelluer, Kreig, Montana, Bono, Gannon and Grbac (and Gannon, again).
They "proved" to the Kansas City media, city and fans that QB's were disposable. It was all about defense (which they had) and running back (which they didn't have). The QB position was interchangeable.
Hence, 2008.

And that approach will get you what it got them, playoff losses.
