Alex Smith was on fire in his last year. Balled like a savage. I had heard Mahomes was good in college, but damn. Smith was warming up KC for the best stretch of football in Chiefs history. Lamar would have loved to see this, I think he knew how close his team was, Lenny's told him already though. Clark's done a swell job, just get that G-E-H-A off Arrowhead field.

Honestly getting Andy Reid was the big turning point for the Chiefs.

Andy’s time with KC has brought as many conference championships & Super Bowls as the previous 45 years (I’m timing that from the Super Bowl era, since the Chiefs had a good amount of success in the old AFL).

That’s true. He turned it around for the Chiefs because he came in 2013. Then Alex Smith got the Chiefs back in the playoffs but I give the Chiefs credit for years of drafting though by John Dorsey. Then Brett Veach.

Grew up in KC in the 70's and 80's this was great to watch. Steve Fuller was the first starting quarterback that I really have a memory of being our starting guy. I was born in '71 and I was aware of Dawson, but watched him play so young and past their prime years I don't remember him as much. All my life when we'd have great defenses, or the best running game, or the best defensive end or the best running back or whatever or we'd go 11-5 or 13-3 and people would get excited I would always say we aren't going to really do anything until we get another championship caliber quarterback. The kind of guys who can win you an important game in the last 2 minutes. The kind of thing that we Elway made a career of doing to the Chiefs when I was growing up. People would say "no but....we have x,y,z" and I'd be proven right season after season. Hell people got so excited when Montana came to town, but I knew that was going no where at the end of his career like that. It seemed more like a publicity stunt than a legitimate move for the team. I guess waiting over 40 years for another championship caliber quarterback was worth it as we finally were paid back in bunches with Mahomes who has an unbelievable skillet physically and mentally. I moved away from KC after school and lived away for over 25 years, and through blind luck returned in 2018 just in time for the current team to take shape. My dad had been a Chiefs fan since year 1, even having season tickets in the late 60's, including the Superbowl I and IV years. He had to give those tickets up by 70 season due to having kids, mortgages, life, etc. It struck me as we watched KC win Superbowl 54 together that he had watched them win as a 25 year old young man, and had suffered for 50 years and watched them win again as 75 year old man with grandkids who were young adults. I wasn't going to go to the parade, but it was my wife ..(who wasn't born/from KC area at all..born/raised in Hawaii..which is where I lived all those years away) that said "We should go...this might be a once in a lifetime thing and it would be neat to look at the pictures and say we were there and the kids too". So I took the day off work and the KC metro school districts gave the kids the day off..and we went and had a great day. I grew up with a terrible Chiefs team many seasons, so it didn't seam odd to me...it must have been really rough for my dad having a powerhouse team as a young man...and then enduring the next 50 years. Great memories and good times.

I too suffered for 50years since 1975 I really became a chiefs fan I was 14 and to see the chiefs finally become king of the hill for a couple of seasons I'm still bitter because of how I've watched the league take away certain things in the nfl because of the chiefs for instance the kickoff return now every time they had had a good return watch for a flag automatically it comes out because the chiefs had tyreek hill back there returning kicks game chaser now the chiefs lost him the over time rule they just changed it because buffalo didn't touch the ball I overtime but what about the chiefs when they didn't get a chance to touch the ball in overtime against the pats in the chamber game before this and of course they made the chiefs lay down twice last season to the Bengals just to let them in the SB yeah the game has changed a lot its time 6hat I back off I'm too old to get stressed out over some I can't control but boy do I miss the good ol days when football was real

The summary sounds legit but it hurt a lot more than saying the quarterback's and the team's record. We had great defense and weak offense. Great offense and sorry special teams. Great offense and terrible defense. Great regular season records and blown out in the post season. I remember a time when if we beat the Raiders and Broncos then it was considered a winning season because eff both of those teams for life. I used to marvel at the new ways the Chiefs could come up with a loss when victory was all but assured. I was so jaded and shell-shocked as a lifetime Chiefs fan that it took some serious effort to trust in Mahomes. I'll never take his genius and talent for granted. Those were dark times, dark and disappointing but now, we're entering a Golden Era!

I'll always love Alex Smith and what he did for mahommes. But Marty Schottemhiemer made the chiefs winners. But now we have Andy

let’s just say we were never a threat before Patrick. not even w Mr. Checkdown Alex Smith. that’s why we’re so cocky now. Patrick made us into THAT team

No he didn’t. Mahomes is responsible for his success and because of his hard work. And listening to Andy Reid. Reid and Mahomes have become the top head coaching combo in the league. Alex Smith threw no TDs in 2014.

Lotta old former 49ers quarterbacks over the years. Beyond that the Chiefs have subsisted on other teams traded backups or releases for most of my life. Amazing that none of their QB draft picks ever amounted to anything until Mahomes.

Reminders

I became a chiefs fan when Trent Green was the Qb.

Mahomes keeps his priorities in order. 1. God 2.family and his faith strength wisdom and confidence and talent is God given.

6:00 I’m glad we selected who we selected, throughout our existence, because it led to where we are now, but WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would select Todd Blackledge over the other hall of famer QB’s in that draft class?!

Bill Kenney had a good 10 year run with the Chiefs in the 1980s. He could make an average KC team look allot better. GO CHIEFS...!!!!

Well it depends. From 60-71 the Chiefs were one of the best teams in pro football. Between 72-88, the shine came off and we fell by the wayside. We had good, even great, teams in the 90s but always had bad luck in the playoffs. We fell off again from 98-01 but bounced back from 02-06. The suckage came back in 07 and didn’t stop until we hired Andy in 2013. There is a bit more to it than that, but I’m sure you get the idea.

Your timeline is missing a few years. You stated Dawson "hurt his knee early in the next season" following the SB I loss to the Pack (4:00 mark). It was actually three seasons later they beat the Jets and went on to win the 1969 Super Bowl. The season where Mike Livingston replace Lee and they won it all was in the 1969 season, NOT the 1967 season. Mistakes like that detract from an otherwist interesting piece. If you don't believe me, look it up in any reputable NFL reference book.
