I love it when internet posters claim to know what multiple front offices, scouts, GM's coaches etc...have believed and made all decision based off since 1983.

The track record of the organization speaks for itself.

And suddenly that all just changed. Clark had a dream, and in that dream a small frog told him to draft a QB.

Praise the Dorsey for lifting the TB curse!

"Look Alex, it's just coincidence that the franchise you play for decided to draft a 1st round QB for the first time in decades"...

From 1960 to 1978,, the Chiefs failed to draft a QB in the first round.

From 1984 to 2016, the Chiefs failed to draft a QB in the first round.

I think we're talking about the Blackledge curse itself, although you raise a very good point about 1960 - 1979.

Carl had 19 years, and the only thing approaching a long-term franchise QB in that entire period was Trent Green for 6 seasons. The rest of the lot were 2-3 year "attempts" to pick off backups from other rosters hoping to strike it rich.

Pioli was a nepotistic douchebag who thought he could outsmart the entire league by going in with Cassel even when it was abundantly clear the guy just didn't have it. But I think of that more as arrogance than I do fear.

Carl was LEGITIMATELY afraid of rookie QBs. He said so himself how he didn't like developing QBs. I don't know if the NFL will ever see another GM like Carl again who could go so fucking long without making a big draft decision on a QB. That's how historically awful he is.
