Ranking every Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback since 1990

12. Dave Krieg (1992-93)

Back when Dave Krieg was a quarterback option for teams in the NFL, the Chiefs used to be in the same division as the Seattle Seahawks, a position that gave them a front-row seat to what Krieg could do on the field. After the short Steve DeBerg era, the Chiefs decided to turn to Krieg to see what he could do for Marty Schottenheimer’s offense.

The flavor du jour for the Chiefs in those days was aging quarterbacks, and it appeared no one had any time to teach a new quarterback anything. Looking back, it’s almost laughable the lengths to which the Chiefs organization went to avoid taking a chance on anyone at the position.

For his part, Krieg did have 10 wins in his first season in K.C., but a ratio of 15 touchdowns to 12 interceptions doesn’t look good, and neither does the drop of 10 percent in his completion rate from his previous season in Seattle. That next offseason, the Chiefs would go fishing for a superstar in Joe Montana, and Krieg was soon relegated to the bench for his second and final year in Kansas City.
