This is what's crazy about DeBerg:

In 1977, the Dallas Cowboys drafted Steve DeBerg in the 10th round of the draft. With Legendary quarterback Roger Staubach and Danny White on the team, DeBerg was cut and did not make the team.
In 1978, DeBerg went to San Francisco to play quarterback. In 1979, Joe Montana was selected in the third round and eventually replaced DeBerg. After a 3000-yard passing season in 1979, he was finally replaced after 11 games in the 1980 season by Montana.
In 1981, DeBerg went to the Denver Broncos for a shot to be the starting quarterback. After two seasons, John Elway was drafted by the Colts and was traded to Denver after he refused to play in Baltimore.
In 1984, Steve DeBerg headed to lowly Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, both Steve Young and the first pick in the draft, Vinney Testaverde pushed DeBerg out again. DeBerg did have back-to-back seasons with 19 touchdown passes.

In 1988, DeBerg found a home in Kansas City. He had a solid season that year, throwing 16 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Two years later, DeBerg had his best season. DeBerg completed 58 percent of his passes for 3444 yards, 23 touchdown passes and only 4 interceptions. He led the Chiefs to the playoffs. Ironically, he would once again be followed by Joe Montana, this time in Kansas City.
