Yes and no. Peterson made a great effort in 1993. He traded for Joe Montana with his first round pick, then drafted Matt Blundin in the second round. He had the right idea but it didn't work.
He continued that with Bono and Steve Stenstrom in 1995 but it didn't work out either. He had Grbac and Gannon on the same roster, which turned out to be disastrous and destroyed the locker room, which is why I think he avoided bringing in a young guy once Green was entrenched as the starter.
A lot of people tend to forget Peterson's early days in KC because of the way things ended 19 years later but in his first decade, he pretty much did everything he could to make Kansas City a winner.
