We weren't just a franchise that got old. At one stretch, we had the oldest starting lineup in the NFL. So many franchises got old, but we were the oldest.

We weren't the only franchise to rebuild. But we were probably the only franchise to have less than a 10% success rate in drafting (starter and backup). So many franchises struggled in the draft, but we were probably the worst.

On age and draft success alone, you'd be hard-pressed to find many teams who were worse.

On age and draft success combined, you'd be very, very, very hard-pressed to find many teams who were worse.

You can keep trying to make a case about how the Chiefs' situation was like something most teams have endured, but it's not a very good one. The Chiefs got older than any other franchise and were probably the worst in the league at bringing in young talent to replace them. When you're the worst at both, that makes it doubly worse.
