That's a hardcore commitment to being checked out right there. I understand a little bit of cynicism, but after beating the Broncos in an admittedly ugly game (after shellacking the Seahawks the week before) the Chiefs sat at 10-4 and looked like like a legitimately decent NFL football team. On December 9, 2012 the Chiefs had just finished getting dismantled by the Cleveland Browns to fall to 2-11.
Really? Those two seasons, those two points in time felt no different to you?
Honestly - I just think that's being unfair to the franchise. If those two scenarios engender absolutely no difference in how you feel about the franchise, you are being dogmatic (QB or bust!), whether you want to believe it or not.

I made $100 in a bet with a co-worker before Christmas in 2010 that the Chiefs would lose their opening round playoff game by at least two touchdowns.... I'd say my thoughts about their playoff success were pretty consistent from August (or really, May) that year until the shellacking the Ravens dropped on the Chiefs.
It's not that I don't watch or don't enjoy watching football or don't root for the Chiefs. It's just that, emotionally, I didn't see anything in 2010 (or 2012 or 2013) to convince me to emotionally invest and hope for something more than a nice diversion for a few hours on Sunday.
