This is short sighted nonsense.
Instead of signing a journeyman QB in 2013 or giving the starting job to Chase Daniel, the Chiefs traded two second round picks for Alex Smith, who's proven to be a short term solution and has one playoff win in 4 attempts.
Meanwhile, teams like the Raiders, Titans and Buccaneers didn't go for a "Quick Fix" and are set up long term with their quarterbacks and franchises.
Now, the Chiefs are way behind the 8 Ball and are essentially starting over in 2018, as it's likely they'll start the 2nd year QB while losing players like Hali, DJ, Bailey, Colquitt and more. Not only is their cap in bad shape, even after they cut these players, they'll need to find adequate replacements.
Wut
It's pretty clear that you have no experience in upper management or with CEO's. If there's a slowly, festering toxic environment in the workplace, that will bring an organization of any kind down more quickly than you can imagine.
Clark felt that was already happening and put a stop to it.
Who is "we"?

No, I don't expect that.
I don't know what you are arguing against with the comment about the Raiders, Bucs and Titans. Your initial comment was that I wonder why other teams have quicker and better success than the Chiefs. I'm saying I agree that it's due to getting the QB right. We went for the best option to get winning seasons, but probably not SB wins. I think we are on the same side of the argument here. I'm not sure how what I said came across as saying the way the Chiefs went about solving the QB issue was the right way. I understand why they did it and it's been fun to win, but I am glad we've got Mahomes now and are trying to build the team the right way.
I was trying to make the point that teams that have improved faster than the Chiefs and have been more successful all had better QBs than Smith. The Broncos, Seahawks, and Cowboys were all teams that waited for the right QB to come along and got them. While they were waiting they built a strong roster outside of QB. Then with a good QB they were poised for quick success and except the Broncos, will maintain it. The teams you listed are the same way. Good examples.
I don't disagree that Clark should take action to fix a dysfunctional workplace. I just think he should have done it sooner. It's just hard to imagine that Clark would have gone from being okay with keeping Dorsey when he knew Ballard was going to leave, to firing him in the short amount of time that elapsed.
That was poorly phrased, my bad. I post from my phone and usually don't write the entire post in one sitting.
Hope you feel better and get over that cold. Not trying to pick a fight with you here.
