Chiefs Do You Suffer from TFS? True Fan Syndrome? If So, We Can Help - Page 12

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10:48 PM

Do you lie awake at nights dreaming of 8-8, or 9-7?

Do you judge a season as a success by a Wild Card birth?

Do you believe that defenses and running games are more important than franchise QBs?

Do you hate wide receivers?

Do you love coaches with a complete inability to spot talent at the running back position?

Do you think that 3-13 is better for the long term future of the franchise than 2-14?

Do you think the 2002 Bucs and 2000 Ravens are model NFL teams to aspire to?

Do you find playoff records to be irrelevant?

Do you believe that guards and right tackles should be taken with top five picks?

Do you believe that a quarterback is best served as a game manager?

Do you believe that every 3rd Down play should either be a screen or a draw?

Do you believe kicker is the most important position on the offense?

Do you believe that all of the best prospects reside in the Big XII?

Do you believe in trading down in any situation during the draft?

Do you believe that a team is better served picking 20 rather than 5 because they don't have to pay the player as much?

Do you believe that the only way to be a winning team is to throw money at the most expensive Free Agents every year, regardless of need?

Do you judge QBOTF by their box scores?

Do you think that risk is scary, and therefore, wish to draft last in every round to avoid the perception of failure?

Do you think that Marty and Bill Cowher are the only two coaches left on the planet?

Do you think that Gunther was once a great coordinator?

Do you think that reaction is safer than action?

Do you think every other team that actually drafted a QBOTF just 'got lucky' and that it could never happen to us?

Is your name [alias of claythan and hootie]?

Do you prefer tailgating to Championships?

Do you fear the unknown?

Do you believe that 'being close in the 4th quarter' is the objective of an offense?

Do you believe that the run sets up the pass?

Do you believe that Stafford "has done nothing worth mentioning" in college?

Do you think QBs don't need to know how to play from under the center, and that learning 5 and 7 step drops is irrelevant because once Thigpen completed a 7 yard pass to a hall of fame tight end in quadruple coverage?

If so, you may suffer from TFS, True Fan Syndrome. Here at the ChiefsPlanet Clinic, our staff of experts can help rid you of this debilitating malady. Through study of game tape of such contests as Super Bowl XXIII we can help ameliorate the effects of play not to lose football.

Upon registering at our world-renowned clinic, you will be given the following ID badge:

After six weeks of therapy, our cure rate for TFS approaches 91%, which ironically, is slightly better than Herm Edwards' losing percentage the last 23 games.

If you or a loved one suffers from TFS, please, contact us immediately.

We're here to help.

Sincerely,

The ChiefsPlanet Clinic

Those people want us to lose to have a crack at a top QB. You're talking about something completely different. If we draft a QB with the #2 overall pick, I can't imagine there will be a dumbass in all of Chiefs fandom NOT wanting to give this player every possible resource so that he can be successful.

Yeah, I'm not opposing the 'if he's there and he measures up, pull the trigger' crowd, I'm opposing the 'the elite QB is the only thing we need to focus on' crowd.

If ever there was a bust proof QB on the board, I just don't see that in a very inconsistent Stafford.

"bust-proof QB"

that is a true fan coinage

how on earth can someone have actually watched Stafford play and call him "very inconsistent?"

if he is "very inconsistent" than no QB is good enough...that is almost as good as the poster who claimed Stafford "hadn't done a single impressive thing"....man....

"POS like Sanchez"? WTF?

After reading through the thread starter's post, I believe have met the number one sufferer of TFS...................Herman Edwards.

No the 100th power, and NO again after that.

Do you find self-appointed "Professors" of Chiefs Football who make symptom lists with at least half of the items on said list being perfectly reasonable for a football team, to be a combination of annoying douchebag, know-it all who clearly DOESN'T know it all, and a prime candidate for State Sterilization?

Do you suffer from MSMLS (Matthew Stafford Man-Love Syndrome)?

If so, I can't help.

And yes, there are a number of people who don't give a shit about the rest of the team, whether they win, whether they learn how to win, whether they stick around, whether they're all completely replaced, so long as we lose every game and get whomever is the top prospect at QB.

I love the fact that you have to invent an argument for it to gain any traction. No one who is the proponent of a franchise QB has said that you don't need anything else. Rather, they've said that it is the most important part of a team that is a consistent winner.

Why is it that the Bucs and Ravens defenses, even at their peak, were basically on one year, off the next, and yet teams like the Colts and Pats, have been SB contenders every year?

People forget that the 86 Bears D was even better than the 85 Bears D, but they got much worse performance out of their O, and thus were bounced rather than being a dominant team.

Everyone I've seen on this board who advocates the importance of a franchise QB has also stated that Left Tackle, RDE, MLB, WR, and DT are all positions of paramount importance, so for you to claim that they haven't is just a flat out ****ing lie.

#1 rule of the draft: If you don't have a franchise QB and one is there in the draft, you take him every time.

How, in any way does that equate to "Draft nothing but franchise QBs or pay attention to nothing else"?

So who is a better QB this year? You keep saying its not Stafford so who is.

Chiefnj2 · 12-18-2008, 04:32 PM

Is Stafford the only QBOTF in this years draft?

I don't know what this itches I have... here, look at it for me, it's just below my sig line...

What do you see, anything strange?

I don't know what the deal is, but I get these feelings. I guess you would say it isn't bad, but it definitely isn't good, it's just kind of, well, ok I guess.

And can someone tell me why, when I eat a bratwurst, my hand instinctively raises up below the bun in a cupping-like fashion?

Can one be both a sufferer and a host cause?
