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.

That's not an accurate assessment...as I've posted before, Carr has been the only QB KC could have had a reasonable shot at since signing Smith. Should they have moved up for Bortles? Dorsey waited until there was a QB they liked. The Chiefs arent losing anyone that isn't past their prime with the exception of possibly Bailey..and he missed almost all of last season. DJ looked slow last year before he was hurt. They are hardly starting over..their O-line is set, Houston and Berry are signed. Have Jones and Hill...Kelce.
You're making it sound like KC is going to have to cut their top players...
I think Dorsey planned on the mass exodus of their aging players next year...
