Mark,
Jeff George, Vinny Testeverde, Brad Johnson, Randall Cunningham, Doug Flutie, Elvis Grbac, Rich Gannon, Trent Green, Steve Buerline, Jay Fiedler, Jon Kitna, Neil Odonnel, Jeff Garcia, Kerry Collins.
All about the same caliber, all free agents at one time or another.
Carl made a cardinal sin by trading the 12th pick for a marginal QB who MOST LIKELY would have been cut (you cant have two high priced QBs on your roster very long - look at the Bills). Remember what picks that high have done for the Chiefs in the past (Gonza, DT).
The only reason to make that trade is out of desperation. If they dont make the trade and sing Buerline or the like, they probably wouldnt win as many games, BUT they would have their 12th pick and a high pick for next year. The signing of Green doesnt upgrade this team. They are still a 7 to 9 win team.
