Yes, I know what you had in mind, but that's the wrong analogy. We're talking about guys who have had a number of starts elsewhere who are brought in to be the starter and who go on to surpass their previous achievements. In the Rich Gannon story, the Raiders are the team that did what the Chiefs are doing with Alex Smith now. They took a guy with 59 mostly unremarkable starts who had been playing well in the previous couple of years to be their new QB of the Present.
But even if we back up to the time period that you're talking about, when Chiefs fans were calling for him to start the playoff game and wanted him to come back instead of Grbac, we're still talking about 59 starts because that was at the end of his Chiefs career.
