Good receivers can help elevate a QB.
But you have to have at least a mediocre ability to elevate.
Cassel and Palko can only strive for mediocrity.

Exactly!
Bowe drops a lot of crucial balls.
Breaston has been pretty good.
Baldwin is still unknown. I've seen him "Almost" make some circus catches, but almost doesn't get you anywhere.

The Packer receivers lead the league in drops, according to stat posted elsewhere.
But no one realizes this, because Rodgers has been so spectacular that it masks that fact.
Rodgers had an off game against the Chiefs, and it is not solely because of the defense.

People keep talking about Pioli being too stubborn to move on from players, but where is the proof? He's parted ways pretty quickly with early draft picks like Magee. He hasn't forced coaches to keep free agent acquisitions that they didn't want - he must have brought in at least 8 WRs in 3 years.

Yeah, cause 3rd round picks and scrubs off the scrap heap are = to trading for a guy that you think is your franchise QB and signing him to a huge contract.

Looking back thru the Chiefs draft history back to 1960, the only QBs who's names I recognize are Brody Croyle and Steve Fuller. Fuller was a good backup for Jim McMahon on the Super Bowl Bears of the 80s. That's the absolute best they've ever done at drafting the QB position.
KC just doesn't have any history of being able to draft a QB at all. Yet now, that's exactly what you want to risk the team's next 4-5 years on...

Well, since this franchise has only drafted a first round QB a total of 4 times in it's history, they haven't actually shown that they can't draft QB.
And the only names you recognize are Fuller and Croyle?
Todd Blackledge?
