So yes I am excited that this team is no longer a National laughing stock. We have a very respected coach and GM and a former #1 pick as our qb now. We cut a lot of dead weight, resigned Bowe and have a #1 pick to beef up our line. There is a Lot to be happy about.
Call me a True fan- that is drinking the cool aid- but I don't see a reason for the hatred and negativity towards the chiefs. Maybe you should be a Ravens fan- that way you can say YOUR team won the superbowl- so that makes you a winner too-lol |
Nah, I'll root for them. I always do. And I see no point in rooting for other teams.
I like everything the Chiefs did in the offseason EXCEPT for the price they paid for Alex Smith. That's the only thing I quibble with.
I'm going to need to SEE that work out and SEE his pattern broken before I will believe they can win anything of real significance with him.
I just have a hard time getting excited for a 10-6 season with a non-elite QB at the helm. If they go 10-6 and Alex Smith displays elite QB play in Andy Reid's offense, throwing the ball and carrying the offensive burden, making elite QB plays consistently against playoff teams, etc. I will get excited, because that's the formula that has won 18 of the past 20 Super Bowls. If the Chiefs' defense coalesces into an elite unit and Alex Smith is what we think he is, I can get a little excited, because that's the formula that has won the other two.
I just have low expectations that either will actually happen this year or next. And think our fanbase is too willing to accept 10-6 (or 9-7, 8-8 or 7-9) for the sake of being respectable and making the playoffs (even if that only results in a road playoff game they have little shot at winning).
