Define success / failure for the 2013 season
 

In your opinion what defines success for the KC Chiefss 2013?

Any record better than 2-14

Any record 8-8 or better

At least a playoff spot

A playoff win

Drafting a QB at #1. That's it. At least for me.

The reason I say that is because if the rookie struggles, I understand. It happens. It can affect how many games you win. For this year, I just want to see the top stud college field general behind center. That's it.

Would it be reasonable to project our quarterback as a franchise QB?

If yes, pass. If no, fail.

I want to draft a QB at #1. After that, I want to see improvement on offense. I don't really care about wins at this point - I just want to see an offense that isn't historically pathetic.

That being said, if we bring in someone like Alex Smith and make him the starter, I expect a playoff berth. Period. No excuses.

A playoff win. Gawdamnit, is that too much to ask for one win every 18-20 years?

KC can partly define success this year by identifying & drafting a QB this offseason. If they do that, get a guy we all believe could be capable of winning a SB someday, then it doesn't matter as much what we do this year.

But speaking strictly this year on record? Hmm... Coming from 2-14 and playing a rookie QB? I'd say anything more than 8-8 would be a big success.

I can't tell you right now and I can't define it, but I'll know it when I see it.

There were 6 or 7 games where if we would have scored a TD or 2 more, we could have won or made things interesting. basically 14 points or less. So if we get just decent QB play and coaching, i think we could win 7 or 8 games next season at the bottom end. I would be happy with that.

New QB, 10+ wins, playoff appearance, playoff win would be great.

bingo

Franchise QB that isn't from the fail castoff heap from somewhere else...

This. I expect some lumps and bruises to be associated with a rookie QB and understand RGIII and Luck type impacts on teams are a rare occurrence. If it happens, I'll be pumped though.

I'll be honest, I don't know how I feel about chiefs porn.

Success is winning the Super Bowl. Failure is not winning the Super Bowl.
