FWIW, Eric Winston, Peyton Hillis, and Stanford Routt were trash when they signed here, but they weren't considered trash. So although many players possibly avoided the Chiefs b/c of *****, Manning the best example, his taint wasn't absolute.

This.
The Chiefs were a joke because they hired an arrogant, incompetent asshole to run the team. You can't blame the team/Hunt for that, as it was thought of as a slam dunk at the time of the hire.
It just didn't work.
Flushing the garbage fixed the perception issue.
