It was a rudderless ship in those days, and I'm so glad that shit is in our distant rear view.

Why do we blame Steadman? Should we be blaming Schaaf?
Steadman was GM from '60 to '76. He became President in '76 and Schaff took over as GM until 1988.
Steadman helped Lamar establish the AFL and helped put the Chiefs in Missouri. Our initial prominence is in large thanks to Steadman.
Sure, the decline began in the mid-70s under Steadman once all of the greats started aging out but Schaaf never truly dug us out during his tenure.
