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.

All of a sudden it was "AS11" this and "AS11" that.

Is that a reference to something? Is it a shitty attempt at AK47 even though only one of the characters is the same?

When you turn every thread in to some sort of Alex Smith thread, you have to type Alex Smith a lot. The trolls are lazy.

Well that certainly doesn't seem fair.. especially coming from a mod.

This thread was destined to involve the QB as soon as the OP mentioned him from the beginning in his swan song. In most threads, it is rarely the "49er/Alex-lovin'-trolls" that turn the threads from unrelated topic into Alex topic. That honor typically goes to the antagonistic haters.

I realize you didn't specifically say who "turns every thread", but you did call me a troll.. and if being honest after reading my posts over the years, I think you know I am not a troll. An asshole, a dumbass, a creepy QB stalker... sure.. I can see that.. but not a troll.

Expecting big time numbers this year from MC77!

I still miss HT75 and think he could have provided a lot of help to our weak offensive line last year

No reason to sleep on a key cog from the Las Angeles Locomotives 2010 UFL championship squad.

And all I've done with my liberty is be a little bitch.

To bad, OnTheWarpath58 seemed like a solid dude. One time I tried to talk to him and he was like "back the **** off!" I said "OK dude" and never ****ed with him again. I respected that. Plus, it was funny. Not surprised he threw in the towel.

I wish you'd throw in the towel

I will if I lose my bet and Houston gets Watt money. Otherwise, it won't happen. I'll tell you what though... I will post a lot less. Will you give me a chance if I keep it to twenty a day?

That's fair. 20 posts a day unless you're posting some fire shit. Then I'll grant you a reprieve.
