And yes, we would need a new qb. I would think that if Saunders was ever given the reigns and a little bit of authority, he could find one in the draft that he thought could run his scheme. The growing pains of a young qb would be worth it though, come year two or three. This regime will squander whatever talent is on the field... NO ONE will succeed with these idiots in charge. It's just not possible that ALL of our players are historically bad.
Like I said in another thread. Changing the QB on this team (or anybody for that matter) is like taking away your eight year olds' plastic chess set and buying him a marble one. Oh it might LOOK prettier, but when an eight year old sits down to play with a professional, the quality of the pieces are of no consequence.
This team has been without a Grandmaster chess player for as long as I've been watching. Marty was good, and got a lot of out his players, but wasn't a brilliant tactician. The closest we've seen to a brilliant football mind was Al Saunders. Not a single head coach or assistant for this team has ever even been close.

Yes we need a grandmaster to run our offense. His name is not Al Saunders. The Chiefs will not bring him in. If they do it will fail. That's just how these things work. You can't go home again.
