Teams can be rebuilt pretty quickly in today's NFL.

Stretches of bad football that I've seen:
92-95 (4 seasons)
06-11 (6 seasons)
16-present (3 seasons)

Hell, I'm only half-way through the most recent trip through Suckyville. In due time, it will get better. Won't happen overnight and they're paying for the sins of crappy drafts right now, and not retaining those players that did pan out over the last 5-6 years.

I'm buckled in...

Hang in there man. I hope the wait is much longer this time though. In Elway Chiefsplanet trusts!

Thanks... this is where Elway gets to prove just what kind of legacy he leaves as the front office guy. It's ok to get outside the comfort zone and make some decisions with people that have no ties to past success.

If Elway would have moved up and drafted Mahomes- his legacy would be set and the Donks would be going to the Playoffs. But he didn't, thank God- now has watched Mahomes beat his team 3 straight times including twice at home.

How long has it been since the Donks won a game against the Chiefs??

To be fair, he did move up and get his guy. The guy he wanted to build his franchise around.

Paxton Lynch. LOmf’nL.

I am glad he did- we would not have Mahomes now.

That was a Franchise killing move. That is how you end up with Case Keesum.

Mahomes would average 6,000 yards a year in that thin donk air and would kick our asses twice a year forever.

Yep! And I remember some of our resident Mule Toolers actually rubbing it in when he did.

Let's be honest... they traded 31 and a R 3 to move to 26. They didn't exactly mortgage the future. But, yes - that trade made it unwise to trade up again the following year.

Hell, I can't argue with the Chubb pick at 5 last year - but rather than saying what they missed with a big trade up for Mahomes, you could point to last year. I wasn't thrilled with any of the QBs, looks like Mayfield would have been worth it... they passed on Josh Allen, which I was happy with at the time.

Leading into the draft, I was curious about Lamar Jackson and how he would play and as he fell to the bottom of R1, I was hoping they traded back into R1 to get him.

Doing that, they would have missed on Sutton and he looks good. So, considering how Chubb and Sutton have fared, I don't have an issue really - both have huge futures. I'm not sold on Jackson or Allen being long-term QBs of the future.

Mayfield though... I still think he's a douche, but he played well. Not making a move from 5 to 1 could be regrettable. We'll see.

One of those wasn't me... I had Tebow flashbacks, not based on the style of play, just didn't want Lynch.

Nope, not you. You had / have more sense than most of your kind, but you're just biding your time...

Well... I’m not counting, BUT it’s been 39 months, or 172 weeks, or 1204 days depending on how you look at it!

Is there just one leap year in that span...

not moving up to draft Mahomes should have cost elway his job. The donx had better ammunition to get the deal done but either a) failed to execute or b) failed to identify talent.

Compounding the issue is giving Keemun any money at all, as it also ****ed up your tank.

Reid put clown shoes on elway (again) and the donx continue to ask for another
