Adamixoye 604 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Grbac had the superior physical skills, but also the glass body and mental state. Peak Gannon was AT BEST 2019 Cousins or Tannehill, send tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Also, back to the original topic, I don't know how any Chiefs fan can LIKE Gannon all that much after: He wasn't that good with us His best years were with our hated rival He sure likes to trash us when he announces our games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Brandon Carr and Derrick Alexander has to be in the list. Hell even Andre Rison if he could have kept his act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about Alexander and Rison. They were both fun for a hot minute. Although Alexander signing a one day contract to retire with the Chiefs was one of the more ridiculous honorary retirements that I can remember.

If Marty went with Gannon at halftime of 1996 Colts playoff game instead of midway through the 4th quarter, we probably go to tbe Super Bowl. In 97 stats didn’t tell real story of his impact in such a conservative scheme. But he was a massive handful and Mike Shanahan flat told me later that summer”I’m sure glad Marty went with Grbac over Gannon.” Gannon won the NFL MVP in a superior scheme. We made an awful choice and it buried us until 2003. xen and dhitter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moons314 2,463 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 18 hours ago, Adamixoye said: I disagree, obviously. He built up a lot of goodwill in almost bringing us back in the [REDACTED] game, and then later when Grbac was injured in 1997 and 1998. But when we gave him the starting job that wasn't injury related (once in 1996 for Bono and then in later 1998 for Grbac), he just wasn't that good. He had been a journeyman before that, and he played like it for us, I don't think it was all the support system around him. He was better in Oakland, and sometimes vets do find a fit that allows them to play at their best. But I think his time in Oakland was pretty overrated (sometimes I feel like I could go 27-29 for 124 yards), and it wasn't going to happen here regardless. TL;DR he just wasn't that good, guys. thank god, finally someone with some perspective on Gannon. Dude gets martyr status from Chiefs fans, and he just wasn't that good here, or anywhere, before his overrated time in Oakland where he threw 1 yard passes to Tim Brown and Jerry Rice and watched them do the rest. Most overrated player of my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I'll never again complain about any alleged bad decisions in the past of this franchise, though, because I'll just assume that everything was a Butterfly Effect that got us to where we are now with Patrick.

Gannon was exactly what Marty needed in 95 and 97 to get those elite defenses to the Super Bowl. A super smart QB with great leadership skills and the IT factor to make big plays when it mattered. In one drive in 1995 he drove us to within a Lake Dawson catch of the AFC Title game. In 1997 he beat the Super Bowl champ Broncos and won his last 5 games before being benched. Win streak over. He goes to Oakland and wins playoff games in three straight seasons all while winning NFL MVP. at 37 years old. It’s no wonder Shanahan mocked Marty for starting Grbac that day. Massive opportunity lost for the Chiefs. Just an awful decision all the way around by Marty and Carl. Seems like the opposite of Rose Colored Glasses 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yeah selectively pointing out his high points (that I acknowledged) without the additional context that informs a more balanced opinion is absolutely the definition of rose-colored glasses, super cool of you to demonstrate that. moons314 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I don’t know. I just loved the guy. Blue collar. Scrappy. He was just much easier to root for than a Gbac or a Bono. I thought Steve DeBerg was the same way. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
