Might have had some elite years in him? Based on what?
The guy hasn't played at a high level in 5 years and the Raiders paid a mint for him.
The Chiefs make that move and they get crushed for it.
In the end, it was a horrid move that cost a #17 in 2012 and the 35th in 2013 for a QB who was showing signs he's been finished since 2009 with diminished arm strength and poor decisions.
