so let's be honest...

There are a vocal dozen that have already mailed in the season as failed.
(you really want to call them merely "skeptical?")

There are others who have many doubts, but are excited and hopeful.
(thinking all is not sunshine, yet they could very well be a 6-8 team and improve further the next season)

There are those with some doubts, but overall, expect a good season.
(thinking a 9 or 10 win season, and a good start to building a long-ish-term playoff contender)

There are exactly ZERO people that have complete blind faith and are expecting a SB ring this season.
(and if there are, then point them out)

One, my wife has several clients in the KC area that has offered her tickets. I'm not paying for shit.

Second, even if I needed to pay for tickets, I would do so to see some guys I haven't seen in a long time, as well as meet some folks I've been wanting to meet. Football is secondary.

Third, do you know the exact date you became such a whining ****?

We'll see if they tie themselves to Smith. They haven't yet.

Your approach to this team for a long time has been border line hatred, dont call me out as a complainer.

Ive been here almost 10 years now though a lot of shit with the Chiefs and it has NEVER in the last 10 years been this foul here.

That's how I feel when people say we should have drafted a 2nd round QB first overall.

So it's a bit out there to call something a trend when it hasn't happened in more than 20 years, and it's even more nuts to say that doing it for the first time in more than two decades would establish it as one.

(And that's a philosophical comment, it doesn't have anything to do with Geno Smith in particular.)

Eventually people have to stop being afraid.

Really?

I'd say spending two early R2 picks on the guy is a rather large commitment.

Give it a few years why they look for a guy of their own/develop. Alex Smith is going to help us get to the playoffs NOW why we are building this thing.

If Alex Smith doesn't play well he will be replaced. We all know Reid isn't like Pioli. He'll try again if he fails with Alex.
