I posted a response in another thread about the Hate towards Hunt. Is it generally thought around here that Hunt specifically blocks GM's from going out and drafting a RD1 QB? If so, what is the theory on why he would do that? From an outsiders perspective, it at least appears that he lets his football personnel make the football decisions and he pays the bills. Is that not the case?

Bono Grbac Green Huard Cassel Smith The common denominator for the decision to acquire a starting QB via trading for a backup or washed up veteran has been the fact ultimate authority over the franchise ends with someone with the surname of Hunt.

The other reason is Todd Blackledge.
When the Chiefs picked him in the 80s it led to the darkest times in this franchise's history. If the Chiefs don't draft a R1QB in the next two seasons it will certainly appear more and more likely that a mandate was passed down from the elder Hunt to never invest heavily in a R1QB. As soon as Blackledge was removed from the equation the Chiefs traded for Steve DeBerg and later Dave Krieg which was the actual genesis of their joyous decades-long tryst with retread quarterbacks and regular-season success. |

Since SB IV, so Dawson isn't applicable though the others apply.

I'm sure that Steve Fuller also plays into that thinking as well.
The Chiefs drafted TWO R1QBs within 4 years of each other and both blew up horribly in their faces. |

So all of these guys were highly valued at draft time, AND they fell to the Chiefs, but the Chiefs passed?

You can qualify those players any way you want to. It is a matter of opinion.
But those are the QBs the Chiefs have passed on over the years. |
