Establishing a QB needs to be the one of the first moves in a rebuild, not one of the last. We needed to do it in 2005, 2006 or 2007 if we were going to build an offense around him. We didn't do that, so what we have to do is go the vet route in 2009. Now, that doesn't mean the Chiefs can't draft a QBotF to groom behind a vet for 2011 or 2012, but there should be enough pieces in place by next year to make this a playoff-calibre team, and they should be a Superbowl contender in 2010, if they have someone who can play behind center (and that means not a rookie or 2nd year player).
As much as I'd like to develop from within (and I would) I just think they're past that point in the rebuild process.
