Seriously guys, get over yourselves. |
Awesome you prop up your argument by citing what is by far proven throughout the history of the league as the far less successful way of building a team.
Drafting and developing your own QB accounts for what ~75% of Super Bowl winners? And the rest almost all either were from a very different era or had one off success (like the Ravens and Bucs both of which needed exceptional defense). Brees is the only one I can think of off the top of my head that actually won one that is comparable to the Alex Smith situation, and that required a lot. Brees stepped up his game so dramatically coming off a serious injury. Smith already had a serious injury and did not come back any better, and certainly nowhere close to the improvement that Brees showed.
Your argument is like the idiots that cite some "scientists" that don't believe in something like evolution. Of course if you compare the numbers of them to the opposite then you see just how stupid it is to use them as an argument.
Brady, Aikman, Elway, Favre, Rogers, Roethlisberger, Manning, Manning, Montana, Young, Starr, Naimath, Bradshaw, Staubach, Namath, Griese, Stabler, Flacco...do I really need to continue?
I'd have to check but I think even just making the Super Bowl would have a similar ratio.
But hey, yeah let's buy into the Chiefs way of doing the same thing and expecting different results.

I am more than happy to have rational discussions with people about football, what I am referring to in the post you quoted is the abundance of people that are already discussing what is going to happen as if it were already fact and how this team is doing nothing to get better.
I haven't belittled anyone that wasn't acting like an asshat to begin with. If you think otherwise prove it.
This place is being ruined by posters who think they know everything there is to know and everyone else is idiotic, especially the people who aren't negative about the team.
I have done nothing but state my frustration with that attitude and say that I am willing to give this FO, these coaches and Alex Smith a chance.
Learn to comprehend.

Granted I haven't read all the posts but I don't see anyone saying they haven't gotten any better, but most people seem to accept that they really haven't done enough to actually move towards seriously competing for a championship. And short of Alex Smith having his skin grafted over an android, anything that will get them where they want to go (Super Bowl) will require years of development (although if we get lucky maybe that has already started via either Bray or Stanzi but I'm not holding my breath; that's still the most interesting thing to me though is if either of them can make enough improvement to push for becoming the starter).
And what happens if the negative "idiots" are right? Oh let me guess you'll be all for "giving them a chance" to the next QB/coach/etc. Hey, great to have optimism, but calling people idiots for being able to see a recurring pattern of mediocrity and failure is just well, stupid.
