And I'm pretty sure at least some of the people who love to use the lines "trust the coaches/GM, they've been doing this a long time"/"they have a plan"/etc, would go ballistic if the Chiefs had the balls to stretch and draft a QB a round or two early or used a couple of picks to trade up to get one, especially if it didn't work out. It's always been "if (insert skill position player) slides down, we'll take him" (well, no shit), and this year that guy had to slide completely out of the draft.

It's insane enough that it took the past two years to really put a dent into Arrowhead attendance, but then to run out and buy season tickets like it's 2009 again because they cleaned up their mistakes, just to see the new guys make the same mistakes, then rationalize just like it like it's been rationalized for the past 3 decades... holy crap.

Your quoting of true fans is so freaking hilarious becasue it is so freaking accurate. A good friend of mine went and got his tickets back after not buying them for las two season (he was a STH for 20 years). He still has no idea why I refuse to go buy my own season tickets. He laughs right at me when I tell him I expect no more than an 8-8/9-7 season coming up. I tell him to get back with me on hi sprediction on what the Chiefs will do after Kiper/McShay make a prediction on our season. He never seems to understand the point I'm making.
