The other reason is Todd Blackledge.
When the Chiefs picked him in the 80s it led to the darkest times in this franchise's history.
If the Chiefs don't draft a R1QB in the next two seasons it will certainly appear more and more likely that a mandate was passed down from the elder Hunt to never invest heavily in a R1QB.
As soon as Blackledge was removed from the equation the Chiefs traded for Steve DeBerg and later Dave Krieg which was the actual genesis of their joyous decades-long tryst with retread quarterbacks and regular-season success.
