1. The only Chiefs quarterback with a better winning percentage than Mahomes (.778) is Nick Foles (1-0 in one start). (Note: small sample size for Foles so he may not hold up in the long run against Mahomes.)
2. Mahomes has a better postseason winning percentage (.800) than regular season winning percentage (.774)
3. Brodie Croyle's 0-10 record may never be broken. The second worst record, depending on how you categorize it, is a tie between Frank Seurer and Matt Stevens at 0-2, or Tyler Thigpen at 1-10. But at least Tyler got to taste the sweet nectar of victory once. (I really thought we were better under Thigpen, though. I thought he was not that far from .500 if you had asked me before this.)
4. Every 49ers castoff had a winning record for the Chiefs, but the winningest ex-49er was Steve Bono (.656). You follow him with Montana (.655), Alex Smith (.630), Steve Deberg (.591), and Grbac (.542).
5. The most successful road quarterback for the Chiefs was Kyle Orton (1-0 for a 1.000 winning percentage. Second place is Patrick Mahomes (13-4 for a .765 winning percentage) (Note: small sample size for Orton so he may have a lesser long run legacy than Mahomes.)
6. Steve Fuller would have been successful if he'd been drafted by a team with a different stadium. He was 9-8 in road games and 4-10 at Arrowhead. On the other hand, Todd Blackledge was 10-5 at home and 3-7 on the road.
7. Mahomes has a postseason record of 4-1 (with the one loss being totally bogus). All other Chiefs quarterbacks combined since 1970 have a postseason record of 4-16.
