I'm not a 'top flight QB, whatever the cost, is the ONLY road to the SB' guy. I think long timers here would attest to that. But that's at far remove from our present situation, where the skill of our starting QB is so much lower than the remainder of the team. I'd submit that the balance of our talent is such that a properly prepared QB as low on the the totem at present as even a Brunell or McNabb could constitute a legit contender, let alone moving up to a Vick or Cutler level of totem-ity.
That's how much I think the QB is holding us back.

I agree there, but that can be said about a lot of teams
Cassell doesn't play defense- and last year the Chiefs gave up 43 points and 48 points in back to back games
That's not one of those.. "Everything just didn't go right this game" excuse.. this was two games back to back
37 points the Jets scored, 36 the Pats put on the board and even the Dolphins put up 30+ points
Brandon Flowers just got worked in both games.. and I mean worked
The Lions OL just abused the Chiefs DL
To the Chiefs credit- they did seem to tighten things up towards the end of the season but how much of that was the poor offensive talent with the teams they faced?
When the Chiefs faced top offenses, they struggled
Had a good game vs Green Bay, give them credit there.. but they gotta start putting back to back good defensive games to be considered a team that can "compete with any team in the NFL"
