That is right at half the league's teams who are most likely satisfied with their starting QBs. If the goal is to win one or more Super Bowls, then everyone else should be looking for a franchise guy. IIRC, building a dynasty is one of Pioli's stated goals. Coincidentally, I would very much like to see the Chiefs build a dynasty which is where the frustration comes in.
Like you and Stevie, I can enjoy seasons like we had in the 90s but at some point I would like to see the Chiefs contend for something more than that. After a couple of decades, my patience is worn thin. What's more, I see Cassel as an impediment to achieving even the mediocre success of the 90s. I see Cassel as a weight that the rest of the team has to bear.

Thing is, your top tier guys have all won Super Bowls. And one of your 2nd tier guys has.
You have enough guys listed that are all Super Bowl caliber QB's in your bottom 2 categories that some will never get the job done. Yet we are saddled with a guy who is not even on the list.
Chiefs Super Bowl chances... next to nil right now.
