True, which makes it doubly stupid to trade off 2- 2nd rounders you need for other positions to take a temporary place holder QB for however many years.
I have read thousands of posts here from Chiefs fans who are willing to suffer bad play and bad records for 2 or 3 years while building a championship caliber team. I agree. Trading your #34 one year and your #50 the next is not a good prescription for building a championship team.
The owner is short sighted, settling for smaller money and ticket sales now, rather than larger money and ticket prices later off the back side of super bowl runs or wins.
