Because I'm pretty sure you just stated this.
Me.
I will always track the trajectory of his career, much like I have with Rodgers and Flacco.
Just as I will when we overlook (obviously) talented signal callers in future draft classes.
I mean, you could just as easily track the careers of Rivers, Eli Manning, Ryan, or Stafford...because they all look to be legit QB's and are an important part of the NFL...but the Chiefs didn't really have a shot at any of those guys, so that might take the fun out of it.

I have an interest in the Chiefs, first and foremost. And, yes, there are players who will always be a tangential part of the conversation with respect to this team. Just as the '83 draft class has been talked to death.
Ryan and Stafford are equally as interesting for me, mainly because of how they were perceived by a decent chunk of the fan base (as it relates to CP).
Your post made it seem like following the "what ifs" in the NFL is strange. Perhaps. But I think that's what makes sports interesting. And this is what I was alluding to when I said "this is not the case" or whatever.
But, to an ancillary point, if the Chiefs ceased to exist, I would be watching just as much NFL football, following the league just as closely.
