Before 2001, we hadn't won a Super Bowl, and our shining moments were a 3-0 lead before the bitchslapping began in 1965, and Desmond Howard beating the shit out of us while our Head coach was plotting his exit in 1996.
None of what you wrote explains the stupidity of "Gotta take Sanchez! Gotta take a QB!".
There's no excuse, short of severe reerunation, for that crap.

and for 10+ years you have had a Super Bowl window.
The Chiefs haven't had a Super Bowl window since the late 60s.
I would take a chance on any QB at any pick at any round over a in the trenches lineman if it means a shot at a 10 year window.
You haven't had to worry about that in over a decade, but when Tom Brady retires we will see what happens to your team.
You don't know what it's like to cheer for a team that would rather trade for a 49ers backup 7 times in 25 years and take a lineman with a top 5 pick than to actually take a chance on a QB, no matter if he sucks or not. Because I know how all the lineman turn out. Ryan Simms, Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, lets hope Eric Fisher doesn't fall into this category and it's only for the defensive side of the ball. But I'll take one failing QB pick instead of 3 or 4 failing lineman picks anyday. I don't even like Sanchez or Clausen or any of these guys, but I wouldn't be as mad I as am over 5 years of Tyson Jackson or Glenn Dorsey until they depart to other teams. 5 years of Eric Fisher until he signs with another team. I'll take a failing QB over a lineman that won't be here after his first contract any day.
