I can't laugh at the Bears... especially after watching the chiefs QB picks over the last the last fitty years

So would you rather have had Kelly or Marino?  Shows what you know about football.

Wonder if Blackledge could have done better if Reid had been his coach 

mackovic was a decent coach... he was Tom Landry's QB coach before Lamar hired him

did blackledge ever beat out Kenny for the starting job?

29 TD; 38 INT holy crap

his stats were worse than mediocre, the steelers let him go after only one season

gotta think andy would have traded up for elway

Hell Eason and O'Brien would have been better than Blackledge

To be fair, every team had Blackledge rated higher than every other QB in the draft except for Elway. 
Marino had injury issues that caused him to fall. 
After Elway was gone, any team would have picked Blackledge over who was left. 
It was our bad luck to have a higher pick than Miami or NY.

Chiefs fans have no room to mock anyone for draft laughers. 
I remember well the 1985 draft of Ethan Horton. 
The very next player drafted: Jerry Rice. 

I remember him from super techmo bowl! Didn't realize we drafted him, though that could be due to me being 3 years old at the time.

I think Marino was as much the funky year they had and the drug rumors.

This is where you out scout your opponents like we did with Mahomes. PM15 was by far our top ranked QB but obviously few other teams agreed with that.  By contrast the Chiefs organization was so badly outclassed in the Blackledge era you would almost expect them simply go with popular choice and make a Mitch Trubisky type error.
