I'm patient. I would take a 1-15 season (beating the Raiders in Arrowhead) in a heartbeat if it means possibly getting the best QB of our generation.

Like I said I'd love to have a QB like Luck. I don't follow college football but I've seen some interviews with him and I just love his attitude and demeanor. Think he'll be a real star.
But me being a baseball fan first should tell you all you need to know about my expectations. The Royals have drafted near first for many of the past several years. One player doesn't mean championship, not even Andrew Luck. We get him... he'll play as a rookie and even Peyton Manning didn't win in his rookie season. Does it mean we might have a great cornerstone for the future? Sure... if everything works out. I'd rather see my teams win than lose in the short term and the long term. Andrew Luck as a Chief gaurantees you absolutely nothing.
