I know what you mean. I'm not getting pissed off at the LJ and Bowe holdouts like I should be. My attitude towards both of these has been "eh, who gives a shit. It's not like these are the worst things that have ever happened to this team." Another part of it, though, is that I trust Herm to work around it and win some games this year, and if he doesn't, make the best of a bad situation, stock up in the draft, and improve by leaps and bounds the year after. This team is certainly in a transitional period and losing is a very probable result. At least for this year.
On the other hand, this team has me wrapped around its finger. I asked myself the other day if I thought Brodie Croyle would come in as the starter and kick ass for years to come, and of course, I said "Hell yeah!" It's just more of the blind pre-season optimism that I and thousands of other Chiefs fans suffer from each summer.
Of course in the end, the only way to know is to wait and find out, and I'm excited. This season will answer a lot of questions about the direction the team is moving in and what exactly we need to become the kind of team that will end this 37-going-on-38 year drought.
