You do realize that all of these players looked significantly worse without peyton manning at the helm, right? He helps by ensuring the offense gets more reps and makes the most of the reps they get. Further, he makes all of the calls at the line in terms of protection and changes the play based on his ability to read a defense.

I don't think that Welker, Decker and Thomas look any different. And their offensive line was good before Manning got there.
Sorry, but "significantly worse" isn't correct.
However, I do agree with you that by upgrading the QB position you can make the team better. The 2013 Chiefs much of the same players on it's starting roster as the 2014 roster, including Pro-Bowlers Charles, Houston, Hali, Johnson, Colquitt, Berry and guys like Flowers, Bowe, Poe, et al., but they were 2-14.
We upgrade the QB position from Matt Cassel to Alex Smith, and BINGO! 6-0 right out of the gate.
So, yes, by upgrading the QB position, the Chiefs are now only one of two undefeated teams in the NFL six weeks into the 2013 regular season.
