ChiefsPlanet It's been a long time coming. Adiós. - Page 3

**OnTheWarpath15** · 07-01-2015, 02:04 PM

It's time for me to bow out. It's been almost 10 years, and I'm tired.

Tired of the false narratives. Tired of people arguing the poster instead of the post. Tired of discussing football with people who favor excuses over evidence. Tired of wasting time talking about an organization that hasn't won a playoff game in the lifetime of a college senior. Tired of watching other great posters leaving entirely or posting less, weakening the Football IQ this place was known for 5-10 years ago.

I know posting a thread instead of just walking away will open the door for many to take their cheap shots - we all know who they are - and if you don't, just wait. They'll show themselves. Those of you that know me privately know this has been building for a long time.

With all that said, I'll say what I've always said: This team has talent, but will continually fall short as long as they keep thinking you can win in the postseason consistently with average QB play. You don't put enough pressure on the opposing defense, and it puts too much pressure on your defense - if they don't have a near-perfect day, you lose.

Peters and Conley were great picks and should make an impact in the years to come. Should be fun to watch. (What? According to some, I NEVER say anything positive - just another false narrative) While I doubt he'll get his shot, I'd like to see if Murray can be that franchise guy, or if he fell for reasons other than what people here assume - namely, his height and injury history. Hopefully they get Houston signed long-term, because if they don't they are in deep, deep shit. The defense tends to carry this team, and Houston is the most important cog in said defense.

I've made a lot of great friends here that are still friends to this day, and will continue to be. This place was awesome when it was more community based - when there would be gatherings, tailgates, etc. Now, it's littered with trolls that take advantage of the anonymity of the internet and would never show their face in public. That attitude has weakened this place considerably, IMHO.

For those of you I call a friend, we'll be in touch. If anyone that isn't already a friend privately or on Facebook/Twitter wants to continue to keep in touch, I'll keep my PM's open for a week or so.

Thanks, Kyle. It was fun for a while. Queue the "well, bye/sour grapes" posts in 3...2...1.

Was it the post about the dog and his master. Damn.

Take a break and come back, its worth it.

You know where all the good tailgates are at. And if they're no longer there, you're always welcome at ours.

Oh and for a case of beer (the good stuff no swill!) I can make this thread vanish when you come back.

**Easy 6** · 07-01-2015, 02:36 PM

I've seen this idea that "no one left talks good football anymore" floated around from time to time, as well as the occasional "who are the top football minds here?" type threads.

I'd just like to see a list of these dozens of geniuses who've left, who are these masterminds?... Parker? didnt always agree with him but sure, a top football poster IMO, but who else?

Who are these incredible minds, inquiring minds want to know?

Frankly, this whole idea of "who are the best football guys" is a bunch of popularity contest dogshit mixed with "who do I usually agree with"... as far as straight up X's and O's, theres basically Sorter and Sully... everything else is just informed (or not so informed in many cases) OPINIONS.

I've flipped you some shit over the years OTWP, for good reason IMO... but its still too bad you're gonna bail out right before the Chiefs best season in God knows how long.

You're as passionate about football and pay as much attention to it as anyone here... but the "football IQ around here lately" argument is just plain junk.

See you in three months.

What? You don't want to hang around and talk about poop while there's no football being played?

have you offered this to Dane? He'd probably send a case of craft beer 1st class to get rid of his!

**loochy** · 07-01-2015, 02:37 PM

BTW, "I'm leaving forever" threads create burst.

I'd guess he stopped posting because he's busy with family or work.

Or... he got tired of everyone bagging on his mother... Which is understandable.

I remember when you came on board. You do have some nice opinions. And it is nice to see differing ones as well.

Do what I do. Read what interests you on the first page. Then only read the first page of the thread unless it still interests you. Assume what ever you were gonna say has or will be said. Thus have very little emotional connection. Move on to your next site of choice.

Sorry to see you go. Best of luck with everything, and hopefully you come back when the season starts with batteries recharged and your ignore button primed and ready to go!

That may require more than one case dude.

This off season has had more football discussion than any other off season.
