Try explaining why the ineptness at the QB position on so many teams. Imo initially, the fans believed in them and the owners react. Even though they stink on the field, as you know, the owners still make money,
You know what makes money for NFL teams? Winning. Trading away draft picks and huge contracts for QBs doesn't happen unless the team has SOME belief that the QB can help them win. At the time KC pulled that trade, they had also just hired Scott Pioli as GM (from the Pats) and Romeo Crennel as HC (from the Pats). They wanted Cassel, and not just to temporarily excite the fan base. They thought the kid could win (he was coming off an 11-5 season) and they wanted as much of the NE influence as possible.
If they knew Cassel sucked and just brought him in to excite fans, it was an idiotic decision as fans want to WIN. Trading away draft picks and making a huge commitment to a QB they knew couldn't hack it would set the team back for years and actually drive fans away. It's not hard to understand why your logic is flawed here.

Makes sense. He really fell off after 2-3 promising seasons.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
