We didn't give a **** about that old bag of bones falling apart one day. Because at the time we didn't suck! WHEEEEE!

Yeah not buying it. Reid has a history or drafting and developing QB's and he hasn't shown us otherwise thus far in KC, go so far as to retain 4 QB's when he could've simply cut one.
