I'll always thank Alex Smith for helping to build a winning culture and willing to help Patrick Mahomes learn and grow.
@@Iconhulk even Patrick mahomes said thanks to Alex he is better, Alex has helped mahomes a lot
@@Iconhulk yeah right.
@@Iconhulk have you seen his stats in 2017? Most accurate deep passer
@@Iconhulk dam no likes lol
@HonestlyJayden Thank you I have always said I had the utmost respect for Alex however he really showed his true colors when he came back after that horrible injury my kids told me "Mom it takes the heart of a true champion to do what he did"So @Iconhulk Gong lol 🤪
RIP Len Dawson 🕊🕊
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.
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.
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
Great story you told there!!
I started watching football in 72… became a husker fan and Otis Taylor made me a Chiefs fan at 9 years old in El Dorado!
50 years of fair to bad qb play….. zero dominant wide outs!!!
Then Tyreek!!! Oh my heart was joy filled
But Alex wasn’t a big enough cannon.
Then I hear we got the kid from Texas tech!!!!!!
I became the most obnoxious Facebook poster in history for 4 months!!!
Thank you LORD for making a Patrick and a Tyreek ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you for your post!
Facebook has since banned me for life
Too many posts about the FBI I imagine 🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
❤❤❤
That 11-3 record that you credited to Elvis Grbac BELONGS TO RICH GANNON who played most of the season while Elvis was sidelined with an injury. IT WAS BECAUSE OF GANNON that the Chiefs clinched a #1 seed in the playoffs.
Yeah Rich Gannon should have been leading the Chiefs in 1997. If he had the Chiefs win the Super Bowl that year.
That one decision of Marty (as good of a coach he was) disqualifies him from the hof
Someone remembers! Then we lost Rich Gannon to the Raiders and he went on to be a 4x Pro Bowler and MVP until the Gruden Bowl where he threw 5 interceptions. I was like 8 years old and I still remember being upset when we got the news that we were sticking with Grbac.
Thank you for helping me appreciate Patrick Mahomes II EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has won 2 superbowls, 2 superbowl MVP and 2 league MVPs
Those crowds from the eighties look like preseason games today
When he had Alex Smith things turned around for the Chiefs I was at that divisional playoff game in arrowhead back in the 2016 season against the steelers.
Len Dawson is now a reporter for a Kansas City news station. They usually do a high school game of the week. My high school was one of the games this man came to. Got to shake his hand and we was wearing his super bowl ring. This was back in 2012. But I actually got to hold his super bowl ring. Something I will never forget
the chiefs came back from the 13 seconds
@@tobig5956 my bad typo 🤣
@@tobig5956, yep sure did. Len Dawson is easily one of the greatest Chiefs players ever. He is a sports reporter for the Kansas City news station and always does Chiefs games.
Ive been subbed for 5 months, and barley realized how underrated your are.
I’m flabbergasted that the Chiefs didn’t choose Dan Marino in the 1983 draft. Todd Blackeridge was a huge disappointment. Matt Cassell was terrible
As a chiefs fan-the earliest QB I remember was Steve Deberg. Man we had some rough years between then and now-Mahomes is Kansas City’s gift
When I was a kid KC made you think Deberg was a big time QB. Lol
For the life of me, I just don’t understand why we didn’t draft a QB in the first round for so many years- Huard, Croyle, Orton, Thigpen-very dark days at that position
Let's win this year for Lenny
Been watching the Chiefs since 1964. I forgot most of these names, and decades of heartbreak and embarrassment. We're so lucky to have Andy and Patrick. That's what it took to break the curse.
Bono was a legend
Great vid. Great presentation. Fitting in some really obscure clips. Reminding me of my childhood. Well done all around. You put props on the right guys.
Always feels good to hear that, especially on videos that took a long time to make but didn’t end up getting many views. Thank you!
Any relation to the KC restaurant Fronteras?
@@youarepredictable nope. Driven by there once or twice
RIP Len Dawson
This sounds man like Mahomes talking right now.
Probably is
As a guy who loves NFL history, Ryan love this format. Subbed!
Before we had Alex Smith and then Mahomes, we had Len Dawson, Joe “The Comeback Kid aka Joe Cool” Montana, Brodie Croyle, Damon Huard, Matt Cassel, etc.
Chiefs draftdf David Jaynes, from Kansas, in 1974. Gargantuan college career. Threw 4 passes, then retired. What could have been.
Great Video
God bless Trent Green and Alex Smith
The kid is amazing 😂👈🏈👍
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
Andy Reid shifted gears just nicely for the team! How bout those CHIEEEEFS?!?
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
Reminders
Glad to have found this channel and subscribed, do you think you could make any videos like this about my Packers?
These ones take a lot of work but yeah probably my next ones would be Patriots, Seahawks and Packers. Packers definitely have a great history
Well is what it is but 2 Superbowl appearances in the Mahomes Era alone 😏 Since 2018 the only other team to do that is the LA Rams 🐏 pretty cool for me at least 🏈🏈
I became a chiefs fan when Trent Green was the Qb.
if mahomes gets into the HOF, wait, correction, WHEN he gets the the HOF, alex smith should go with him. He helped craft what he is
@@Iconhulk Could you even fathom what Alex Smith did to the culture that he brought into San Francisco, Kansas City, and to Washington now! He may not be the best quarterback but he's a leader and the mentor that Colin Kaepernick, Patrick Mahomes and even Taylor Heinecke needed to take that next level. I hope your dumbass learns that being a influential football player doesn't have to be about stats, okay?
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.
Mahomes keeps his priorities in order. 1. God 2.family and his faith strength wisdom and confidence and talent is God given.
I was a hugh Len Dawson fan but Mahomes is the best I have ever seen.
No love for Trent green?
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?!
2 now les go
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...!!!!
Wasn't Romeo Crennel a head coach for Kansas City at one time?
Yes
Yes that was 2012. The year before we hired Andy.
Yes that year was hell
ik im late but a video on the Washington football team would be sick
Made one on their MVP kicker just a few weeks ago!
OG if anyone remembers when he did this with the Patriots
Honestly am probably gonna redo that one with some better narration cause I already have all the footage!
@@ChaseChats Can't wait
Mahomes is a great QB but he has a strange way if walking, these short mincing steps.
Can u do one for the Seahawks 🥺
Be Can no
I could do it down the line! I think I want this to be a series
1997 Rich Gannon was the quarterback Elvis hurt his collarbone but they put Elvis back in, in the playoffs bad mistake😢😡
9:18 this was the beginning of the end for me not wanting Marty Schottenheimer anymore. Rich Gannon was clearly the better quarterback, and Rich Gannon lead our team to like a 10 wins in a row streak all the way to the playoffs, and then Marty says, “my starting quarterback does not lose his job due to injury“. So you took a hot streak quarterback that was killing the league, all the way to the playoffs, and then benched him for cold, Elvis Grbac? I was done with Marty at that point.
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.
Yeah, you're right. Not sure why I said that. I try to be meticulous when making videos, so when I make a simple mistake like that, it gets to me. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video.
@@ChaseChats I certainly did. Thanks for responding.
then we lost derrick thomas and belcher😔
At least Tyler Thigpen made a terrible season exciting to watch. So many close games. Terrible defense.
were we really this terrible. thank god for andy and pat
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.
@@HarbingerOfBattle, you are absolutely right
You missed Ricky stanzi after Brady Quinn was benched.
@JBSptfn I did too 🤦🏿♂️
When you have a $63 million dollar QB preforming like an amateur anyone would look better.
Just terrible quarterbacks
And warren moon too
Prior to Mahomes the Chief won more games with QBs drafted by the 49er than QBs they drafted themselves
Alex smith should’ve won a bowl
So... Is the ball a college graduate??? Professor?? What became of that ball??
Evan lite
Go Andy reid
Alex Smith Lost His Job to Both Mahomes and Kaepernick Both making Superbowl Appearances
Yep that’s true and they won their Super Bowl appearances.
in the early 2000s it was all brady and his troop of patriots Bills Dynasty Run design made me jealous of all that no chiefs all patriots and everybody else that got to the mountain NOT US!!!!!!! why🤦🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷 we were jokers not gambling on bringing good coaches and drafting good players too busy sucking and coming up short while everybody else hoisted lombardis basking in glory🤦 just a doormat for us
Cbk
Copycat mohommies Boy Catfishing he’s family very disfunction not close his father leaving separate and don’t use Patrick || he’s shame of he’s own father since became super bowl whatever 😛Arrogant walk like a happy lady 💃🏻💃🏻🤪
u ok?
Mahomes is good, but he will never be Len Dawson
Really? I love Dawson but you are fooling yourself if you think Mahomes isn’t the best Chiefs quarterback already. Mahomes doesn’t have to be Len Dawson. He can be himself.
Wtf 😒
@@derekmathews1557Dawson won three AFL championships, one Super Bowl, and two Super Bowl appearances. He led the league in completion percentage eight times, including a six year streak. He led the league in touchdown passes and passer rating multiple times. He did all of this in a time where the league’s rules were not nearly as forgiving for quarterbacks and the passing games, AND he was calling most of his own plays.
I respect your opinion but I disagree. Mahomes isn’t there yet.
@@NapBoney , that’s your opinion man. First of all, Mahomes has thrown for 5000 yards twice, 50 TD once, 38, 37, and 41 TD the last three He’s played in 3 Super Bowls: He’s 2-1 in those Super Bowls, 5 straight AFC Championships and he’s 3-2 in those games. Mahomes is a fifth time all pro. He’s led the Chiefs to five division titles. 2SB, 2 MVP, 2 SB MVP. Len Dawson is great but Mahomes is rapidly killing the record books at such a rapid rate faster than anybody the NFL has ever seen. He’s 14-10 when his team is down 10 points or more. His winning percentage is about almost 60% the highest winning percentage in NFL history.
@@derekmathews1557 my only response to that is the rules of yesterday restricted the passing game and did not favor quarterbacks like the rules do today. You can’t compare players’ statistics from different eras, you can only compare them to players from their own era.
