Fans loved Kenney, he was the 1st QB in years capable of big numbers in what was a RB dominated era. He had huge games with Carlos Carson (1,351 yds in '83), Henry Marshall (most all-time receptions for a Chiefs WR?) and Stephon Paige (2 seasons 900 yds, one seasom averaged about 22 yds/reception). He was a bit of a gunslinger with too many INTs, but he had to be with that defense. He had a string of injuries that diminished his careers numbers, but surely would have been remembered as more of a winner had Joe Delaney not tragically drowned. Delaney may have brought down his stats, but they would have won more games...the RBs selected after JD were utterly without pro ability.
