I only suggested that the Raiders have been looking down on the Bronco's for one year, which I believe was accurate. Superbowl 4 was the last time the Chiefs were in the Superbowl...a good 5 years before I was even born. No doubt outside of the Marty years they probably are the second worst franchise in the NFL next to the Lions. And the Lions might be poised to finally do something here.
Lets face it the Chiefs haven't really had a franchise type quarterback since the days of Len Dawson..Joe Montana was okay, but clearly in the twilight of his career when he got to KC, hence the Chiefs awesome playoff record in the last 18 years since he retired..The Raiders haven't had a decent QB since Rich Gannon went down, and the Bronco's had a talented player in Cutler...but fired the guy who drafted him and brought in a guy who made that a sour relationship which ended in him being traded for another mediocre QB.
Either way the Chargers will more or less rule the Division until one of the other 3 teams gets serious about a QB. Matt Cassel is more or less in the last year of his deal with the Chiefs, as they'll have handed him 40 of the 63 million and all the guaranteed money has been paid. When the Chiefs turn in a 1-15 season this year, hopefully Pioli picks a QB and the right guy. I'm a touch concerned about Pioli these days....he had a good draft last year, but 2009 was awful, and the Patriots have cut bait with all their 2007 or 08 picks IIRC which he had a hand in. I certaily don't like the fact that Todd Haley hired an offensive line coach to be his puppet so he can meddle with the offence.
