It's been a long time coming. Adiós.

[OnTheWarpath15]

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.

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.

I don't partake in much Chiefs offseason talk ... it just leads back to one guy. BORINGGGG

I'll take other QB's all day long, though

I planned on meeting him out for a beer the last Indy playoff game ... got caught up at a different bar, though

probably why we lost in epic fashion

[BossChief]

Well, that's a shame but maybe it's best for you.

Besides the 2 mentions of Peters and Nelson in this leaving forever thread, I can't remember you saying much positive about anything to do with the Chiefs since they drafted Berry...before that....not sure when.

If your constant outlook is so negative, you probably aren't getting any enjoyment from it anymore and sometimes a break can renew your interest in something you have an emotional attachment to. I know I read last year that you stopped watching some of the games, so the years have probably taken their toll. I'm sure the Indy playoff loss took what wind you had build up, out of your sails.

It's a shame you're leaving, as we've had some heated discussions in the past and it's been fun discussing hot points with ya over the years.

Take care and good luck with everything.

[loochy]

We made out once.

[RealSNR]

Aw c'mon dude.

Take a break. Six months. Twelve months. However long you need. Just don't do this "I'm leaving forever" shtick.

We want you here, whether you post as much as you used to or not. I hope you'll change your mind.

[Holladay]

"barely alive".

Close. Since I try not to get emotionally attached, I typically don't share much personal stuff. The reason the post count is so low is that in those 15 yrs, 10 of them I was in a coma.

[Hammock Parties]

I'm sure he'll be back as we perform last rites over Alex Smith's corpse.

[RunKC]

Maybe this will do you some good since you are one of the handful that bitch that KC doesn't have Aaron Rodgers at the helm.

Football discussion here never lasts long because it gets saturated with the anti-Chief tripe trolling that incurs with every goddamn thread, half being about a position other than quarterback.
