LNBS: Why were the Chiefs bad in the 1980s?
Looking at the roster they had a good secondary (Albert Lewis, Deron Cherry, Kevin Ross, Lloyd Burress) and the receiving corps seemed pretty nice (Stephon Paige, Carlos Carson, Henry Marshall).

I know they never had a great quarterback but I feel like I’m missing something. For the fans who remember, why did they suck?

Steadman as a GM only because your buddies with Lamar. Lamar was a visionary man but, he had that blindspot for Steadman.

Interesting. I never realized why he went so low in the first round.

It's funny. I was born in 1983 and was born and raised in KC but my interest in football and the Chiefs didn't start until right around the time we got Joe Montana. However I do recall having really good seats at a playoff game in like 1990 or 1991. It was so bitterly cold. I think we played against the Raiders.

I do really need to go back and watch some stuff on the 80s Chiefs just for historical reference.

Yeah, I was fortunate during my hitch, 68-73, as they were on a lot. Willie Lanier was so fun to watch.

Marty left KC and immediately drafted a franchise QB and put up 12 wins with a garbage franchise...
Who was that? Not disagreeing with you, just curious who he drafted?

There's a great ESPN 30 for 30 that goes into detail on the draft. I think it was Marino's agent at the time who took highly detailed notes on the whole process leading up to and after the draft and the show creator was able to recreate a lot of what happened that caused Marino to fall so far, including the cocaine rumors.

I cannot forget that 1985 draft and the Ethan Horton selection at #15 and how that didn't pan out and Horton was gone after the 1985 season. UGH!!

Looking at Horton's college stats, he was easily one of college football's best runners in his junior & senior seasons. If only he could have kept that going for KC, then who knows what might have been. But, such a thing never happened.

Jim Scaaf, GM from 1976 to 1988.

I’m assuming he means Drew Brees and Rivers a few years later?

But Marty didn’t draft a QB his one year with the Redskins. He brought in Jeff George.

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.
