So you're telling me the best case scenario is a first round playoff exit..
What's more than likely is they might win a game or two and miss the playoffs on tiebreakers. Worst case scenario is the Chiefs lose out and go 7-9 and JC gets hurt in one of those meaningless four games and his status next season is in doubt.
With his contract and his age it makes no sense to try and make a "win one for the gipper" charge this season and try and put the team in the best position to try and win next year.

Well to start, best case scenario would obviously be a Super Bowl trophy.. And this isn't some true fan "if we just get in them anything can happen!" bullshit.
I recognize the fact that we aren't likely to do much of anything beyond the divisional round, I admitted as much in the post you quoted. I also recognize the fact that the intangible reward for making the playoffs and squeaking out even one win is far more valuable than picking 19 in the draft as opposed to 25.
