The damning thing is, most Superbowl winning teams are winning those championships with Qb's they drafted and developed themselves. 12/15 previous Superbowl winning teams started Qb's in the game that they themselves developed from draft day to championship day (I'm counting Warner in this category as well). So the trend is definitely there, it's just that our front office likes to utilize 'band-aids' and not take the dive with an unknown Qb from the draft and just do their best developing them.

So, while the Chiefs front office can hope and pray that a Brees falls in their lap and gets the organization over the massive hump that is the 43 year drought, we will keep wallowing in mediocrity and watch other teams be victorious in February. Alex Smith is no ****ing Drew Brees, nowhere near that potential.

So there are some of us that want these changes to happen, and want a Qb drafted that the Chiefs have full intention of making a starter. Some love the 'band-aid' method (and while it works on occasion, the odds are against you with regards to the Lombardi).
Alex is no Brees, but maybe a Rich Gannon? I've always felt like this. Get your ****in bandaid, but draft someone in addition. But hey we got Bray. Who knows.
