What's frustrating is that if you put in the time to find and share information and content here anymore, nobody really looks at it. If you formulate an opinion based on that information, you'll only be ridiculed, chastised, and rejected if it goes against what the Chiefs do.
It's kind of sad that the fanbase has become a "succumb to what Veach does" group that never questions anything for any reason. It wasn't that way when Carl was around. Hell, it wasn't that way when Dorsey was here, and he's the one who built the true core of this team. Hey, I love Veach. I hope he continuously rebuilds the core of this team that John Dorsey handed to him and keeps it this competitive for a long, long time. But does that mean I'm required to like all of his decisions, despite proof that some of those have been downright awful? One can't be vocal against Veach and get along here, so it really becomes a choice against wanting to put in any effort related to having an opposing opinion.
As for the content, it really does take a significant amount of time to put out a lot of content, even if it's not great content. And, I'm not even doing anything special. There are plenty of resources out there to gain information from that are as good or better than anything I have time to put out. It just might not be so easily accessible. I'm not accomplished enough nor do I have the substantial time to put shit up behind a paywall, like some have suggested, and have a following. I'm not about to do a podcast. I have 6 kids in my house, how good would that work out? Those guys that do them have far less credibility than the best posters here, and yet they get respected and their opinions are admired even when they cut against the grain. Why put in that time for no gain only to have it shit on routinely? Doesn't make much sense, does it?
If Matt from KCSN said it or whoever on Twitter said it or dickwad on his podcast said it, it'd be gold. If DJ, duncan, or Crow say it, they don't know shit, can't read studies, etc. ****, I have an undergrad dual major in Mathematics and Physical Education (which is about 60% PT coursework BTW) and I don't know statistics or how to read a study or anything about the human body. It's like **** right off.
Who knows, it might be best to just start spending a little more time with my kids and my fiancé in the winter and spring instead of drafturbating and reading medical studies on sports injuries and the like.
I can still pop on and spew bullshit about my next meal at Taco Bell or something, bitch about what happened in the Week 9 loss, or whatever. I just don't think I really want to put in the effort, and that might be a good thing.
I really do hope the pick works out. It would be quite the coup.
