Kansas City Chiefs: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#30)

Last week: 27 (-3)

Record: 1-5

So if Brady Quinn gets knocked out with a concussion, will Chiefs fans cheer that too or how does this work? That’s what you get for cheering Brady Quinn. You get Brady Quinn. Ranked 23rd in yards per play differential heading into the game, the Chiefs now rank 31st and the Buccaneers, who ranked dead last coming in now rank 22nd. The defense’s struggle to contain deep throws has something to do with that, but if Matt Cassel can return and regress to the norm turnover wise, the Chiefs could still be underrated going forward, but that might not be the optimal outcome for Chiefs fans.

This team desperately needs a franchise quarterback and would be much better off if they bottomed out and ended up in a spot where they could obtain either Geno Smith or Matt Barkley. If Chiefs fans can cheer a concussion if it meant Brady Quinn was coming into the game, can’t they cheer their teams continued losing ways if it means a real quarterback was coming to the organization.
