The 94 Chiefs draft room says it all about that era
![]() Hand-wringing over Mario Bates, Greg Hill or William Floyd. Is that Lynn Stiles' daughter taking in family fun day at the draft?

Ahhhh... The 80s. No matter how bad you try to frame the Chiefs drafting, 1983 was the absolute pinnacle of stupidity.
Please, don't remind me of those times. Looking back is to invite depression, looking forward is to invite anxiety, look to the now when things are great and the Chiefs have the best QB in the league. Enjoy it because it could be over tomorrow. |

Imagine if that happened today back to back rb in the first two rounds. This place would go nuclear

Floyd was pretty good until his injury. Blew out his knee?

Carl was just good enough to stick and cash checks and was a douche to boot. He’d come up with a good draft when he was about to wash out more than once but never string enough together to build a sb team.
Plenty of rb talent in that draft and they whiffed on all of it Jamal Anderson Charlie Garner Dorsey Levins Bam Bam Even Errict Rhett was a better option. Almost as bad as Carl evaluating qbs. Rich Gannon in house? Nah. Mike Elkins check. Matt Blundin check. Pat Barnes. Steve Stenstrum. Check check etc. Couldn’t even ever fluke up a Gardner Menshew (sp?) type.

I know he's the one shining example of "yOu DoN't NeEd A fRaNcHisE qB tO wIn It AlL!" over all these years, but hadn't really looked at his stats... and damn, just think about how good that defense was, for these QBs to win a SB.
Tony Banks - 8 games, threw for 1578 yards, 8 TDs/8 INTs and a QB rating of 69.3 (nice) Dilfer - 8 games, 1502 yards, 12 TDs, 11 INTs, 76.6 rating Dilfer's playoff stats that postseason... 9/14, 130, 1 TD (won 21-3) 5/16, 117 (won 24-10) 9/18, 190, 1 TD, 1 INT (won 16-3) 12/25, 153, 1 TD (won 34-7) I did enjoy those old school defensive battles when the Ravens played good offenses, like against Peyton Manning.... but damn their offense was atrocious.

It was a different time. I recall a quote that Lamar wanted a franchise running back. Of course a quote can be used for different ends

Yeah, it was the beginning of the end for truly great defenses (and not like today where "top 5 defense" just means you're marginally better than everyone else)... even the St. Louis Rams had to win like a 11-6 game in the NFCCG on their way to a SB victory.
