That's really untrue. Steve DeBerg played lights out in 1991. The guy threw something like 24 TD's versus 4 Int's. The Chiefs were in the AFC Championship Game due to the phenomenal play of Joe Montana. The Chiefs got "Elite" play from Grbac and Gannon in 1997.
You're making it out as if the Peterson and Schottenheimer didn't attempt to bring a championship to Kansas City, and nothing could be further from the truth.

You specfically mentioned the 90's. The Chiefs only had one losing season from 1989-1998, so I don't believe that 7 games was their floor.

So, you're argument is predicated on Favre and Brunell?
