Do You Suffer from TFS? True Fan Syndrome? If So, We Can Help
 

Do you lie awake at nights dreaming of 8-8, or 9-7?

Do you judge a season as a success by a Wild Card birth?

Do you believe that defenses and running games are more important than franchise QBs?

Do you hate wide receivers?

Do you love coaches with a complete inability to spot talent at the running back position?

Do you think that 3-13 is better for the long term future of the franchise than 2-14?

Do you think the 2002 Bucs and 2000 Ravens are model NFL teams to aspire to?

Do you find playoff records to be irrelevant?

Do you believe that guards and right tackles should be taken with top five picks?

Do you believe that a quarterback is best served as a game manager?

Do you believe that every 3rd Down play should either be a screen or a draw?

Do you believe kicker is the most important position on the offense?

Do you believe that all of the best prospects reside in the Big XII?

Do you believe in trading down in any situation during the draft?

Do you believe that a team is better served picking 20 rather than 5 because they don't have to pay the player as much?

Do you believe that the only way to be a winning team is to throw money at the most expensive Free Agents every year, regardless of need?

Do you judge QBOTF by their box scores?

Do you think that risk is scary, and therefore, wish to draft last in every round to avoid the perception of failure?

Do you think that Marty and Bill Cowher are the only two coaches left on the planet?

Do you think that Gunther was once a great coordinator?

Do you think that reaction is safer than action?

Do you think every other team that actually drafted a QBOTF just 'got lucky' and that it could never happen to us?

Is your name [alias of claythan and hootie]?

Do you prefer tailgating to Championships?

Do you fear the unknown?

Do you believe that 'being close in the 4th quarter' is the objective of an offense?

Do you believe that the run sets up the pass?

Do you believe that Stafford "has done nothing worth mentioning" in college?

Do you think QBs don't need to know how to play from under the center, and that learning 5 and 7 step drops is irrelevant because once Thigpen completed a 7 yard pass to a hall of fame tight end in quadruple coverage?

I love Playoff Births.

They're much less messy than human births.

:p

This should turn out beautifully.:popcorn:

ROFL

Do you enjoy watching your team lose?

If the answer is yes than you might be a reerun.

Classic.

You have to score to get both though..... Can you get laid if you have TFS?

Marty and Chase Daniels would be so awesome

I feel a HOC nominee in the making.

Reesing, man, Reesing.

FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(*#U)(#*YR)#8yr8ytw498ytp

If only Hamas had mod powers, and could put that ID badge in the signatures of posters he felt were deserving.

Or not.

Do you think Josh Freeman is an NFL quarterback in waiting?....

My point: There is more than one classification of reerun on this board. One shouldn't throw stones...

ROFL

lowd almighty thatd be friggin sweet.

It would make sifting through the rubble of this place a shit-ton easier, dontchathink?

The first one is a trick question. You can't lie awake and still be dreaming.

Can I get one that says 12-4? That number just sounds good to me.

not to mention the hilarity thatd insue.

True dat.

Worshipping Gunther Cunningham is a SURE sign one has full-blown TFS.

Here, take this bar of soap and head into that shower with all those other people over there.

What about going to games even when your team sucks?

I hate Freeman, FWIW.

If so, you're not suffering from TFS -- you're a ****ing idiot who doesn't know kickers are on special teams, not offense.

;)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna grab some popcorn ...

MM
~~:)

According to my non-existent medical knowledge, the worship of Gunther Cunningham is a symptom of full-blown TFS. There is no cure for full-blown TFS.

Really? Must've had my sarcasm meter off that day.

In which case, stone throwing portion redacted as to you (but not Freeman fanboys posting in this thread, he sucks baws), rest of post remains in effect.

Carry on.

Of course there is:

kill yourself.

Antifreeze.

what happens to em'?

running games and defenses more important than franchise QB's?

Hmm. yep. I do. See Dan Marino. See John Elway's first 3 SB teams. See all three of the Giants SB winning teams. See Pittsburgh.

unless you really think Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger are truly elite QB's. In which case I don't know what to tell you.

Franchise QB won't get you squat if you can't block anybody, tackle anybody, or run the ball.

That being said, I'm not against drafting a QB, I just don't think it's all that wise to take one at the top of the draft.

Okay, I'm in..now what is it you do to help me? Pull out my scrotum for you to lick, you say?! Wait, am I being cured or is this just for your pleasure?

Kill oneself with antifreeze? Touche.

They become in engulfed in the mediocrity and defend it until their last breathe. Therefore, they are incapable of participating in a rational conversation.

True Fan Alert!!!!!!

Herm just got a ball massage...

I have corrected that error more times than I care to count. :doh!:

By all means the Chiefs should just ****in hire you as their new HC and give you all the power in the world.

Sounds like you know what you're doing and everyone else doesn't.

Question, am I allowed to join?

Baltimore when they won it all and Tampa too! I like the idea of drafting Stafford if he's available. Those things being equal am I a true fan?

PhilFree:arrow:

Oh good, another person calling people out about their fandom. That was one of the first things they taught me here, it is unacceptable.

Bottom ****ing line, this team is whatever the person wants it to be to THEM!

**** losing, it ****ing sucks. If Herm mother****ing Edwards was as good at winning is he is losing, this team would be super bowl bound.

I am starting to think that way. ****ing n00bs!

So Hamas..where would you rank me as a fan? Am I suffering from TFS? If so, do you reccomend that I kill myself?

No, but you can get ****ed.

Do you like the butt secks, bc that is what happens with TFS.

It would appear as though you have Stage II TFS. There is a 72% cure rate. You will be forced to watch tape of the 1994 49ers for three weeks as videotherapy.

I suggest that you get your things in order, for if you continue to say things like Dorsey is a bust, your TFS may be present in the frontal lobe, which would indicate euthanasia as the only course.

Your TFS Primary Care Counselor will be OnTheWarpath58.

Goddammit.

It's finals week.

I need someone that has a better chance of being cured.

?

Now that Carl is gone effective 31-Dec-08 I will go back to being a "REAL" fan and show up when I want. :D

Are you saying our season is an abortion?

Oh..yeah, nevermind...

I prescribe Hamas should be strapped to a chair with his eyes taped open. Not to be released until he has watched every Marvy Levy, John Mackovic, Paul Wiggin and Frank Ganz coached Chiefs game, back to back. Then, as a refresher, 3 years of Herm ****ing Edwards on FFWD.

10-6 will then seem like a cool evening breeze, after a hot summer day.

Oh, what the hell. Let's go ahead and draft Schuler in the first. Oh, I mean Mirer. I mean Klingler. I mean Harrington. No wait, I mean Carr. DOH! I meant Leaf! Or...

I will forever maintain that a high #1 pick on a QB is the riskiest pick there is. I have watched so many fail. If that's what we do, well, I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best, but I don't agree that it's the wisest plan of attack.

Do you thank spending decades wading through franchise QB contracts spent on, JaMarcus Russell, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Cutler, Alex Smith, Carson Palmer, Byron Leftwich, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Michael Vick, Chad Pennington, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Daunte Culpepper and Ryan Leaf is worth the chance to get the Manning brothers.

There are teams that found themselves on premier WRs and QBs, it's the Lions, Cardinals, and the Vikes of the 90s.

That seems reasonable. Force him to watch every game from '73 until '89 in a continual loop. :thumb:

All in favor say I!

The manner in which you bitch about your team is much more important than whether or not you actually support them.

Oh. and your a mindless sheep who lines corporate pockets regardless of quality.

The new scarlet letter of the Planet. TFS.

May I help pin them on?

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't think franchise QBs are drafted so much as they are developed. How many Pro Bowl QBs has Mike Martz been associated with?

Some staffs realize the importance of having a top QB in the playoffs, and attempt to develop them; other staffs hope that it's all luck once you get to the playoffs, and have game managers.

true that!!!

Two? Marc Bulger and Kurt Warner.

Woo-hoo! He's a genius!

I agree with that but the payoff could be huge. Which is why teams take the risk win they have the chance.

PhilFree:arrow:

You're not really describing a franchise QB, then. In other words, do you think that there was a very good possibility that P. Manning, Elway, Marino, etc. would fail? That their superior talent wouldn't have ultimately won out?

Players like Green, Bulger, and Warner can be very nice system guys. These are players high-quality staffs can develop, and they're also players that can be ruined, completely.

We've had only system QB's in KC for the last, well, 20+ years. We need a franchise guy, and now we're drafting high enough that this *might* be a good opportunity to get one. Might.

Great quarterbacks are GREAT regardless.

John Elway, Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Dan Fouts, etc.

Sure, they make mistakes but no one needs to teach them the game or correct their mechanics or decision making skills.

If you draft a first round QB, he'd better be 90% "developed". Otherwise, you're wasting your time and the team's ability to compete.

I am sick of finals! tonight is the last ****ing night!

dane do you see any this year? in your opinion

The numbers Warner put up were sick. It's all about being able to pass in the playoffs -- finding a QB who excels in the system you put him in. Sure, only a few QBs could excel in ALL, but a team only runs one system at a time.

Try over 35+ plus.

Is Kurt Warner not a great QB?

Cool, but I think you should have to masturbate with a cheesegrader while watching everyone of Herms press conferences, you know just to help your fandom...

Trent Green.

If you are putting Bulger in there, you better put Green in as well. Martz was his coach in Washington and St. Louis.

Marino 'succeeded?' One rookie season SB loss [which per the Cowher rule doesn't count], and a career of playoff failure, culminating in the 50-0 playoff loss his final season.

Marino's the poster boy for RTFdom.

Kitna was never better than his time with Martz.

You take Elway with Dan Reeves instead of Shanahan, and I'll take Martz with Warner, and see who wins.

I don't follow the Rams but did Bulger make the Pro Bowl under Martz? Green never did and was always a third QB at the Pro-Bowl, not the first or second.

Actually every QB in Chiefs franchise history, including Dawson, were system QBs.

But you have the right QB that fits your system then he can still be a franchise QB.

Why? I am no Herm Edwards fan and he will only look up to mediocrity, as long as he is the coach. His only shot was 9-7 with DV's team, game over.
