Ok, Chiefs hope boils down to this

There are other QBs to get, I understand that. I just want the best bet. Luck is that guy. I'll take my chances with him.

Because the worst team usually have worse problems than just a QB. There is also going to be a learning curve for a rookie QB. Peyton won 3 games as a rookie, although guys like Rothliesburger and Ryan have bucked that trend, I don't think anyone would argue there weren't growing pains. Rothliesburger was a hand off QB and the Falcons also had one of the best run games in the league to help out Ryan.

If the Chiefs are the worst team in the league, Luck is a no-brainer. He's probably the closest thing to a sure thing there has been in awhile since he came back for his senior season and works with a pro style offense. If we get Luck or go with Stanzi we are going to need some additional tools around them. We cannot continue to try to use a butter knife as a screwdriver and call it good. This team has way too many holes to be a championship contender even if we find a QB.

And what are those holes, oh wise one?
