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.

I still look in now and again but it's minutes per month instead hours.

Hi!

I don't quite understand people who do #1.

I ****ing hate writing e-mails on mobile devices.

Things are tense everywhere these days, the team is still working on a formula, and I'm not sure 40+ years won't be 60+ years by the time a SB win happens to drunk-stumble into our trophy case.

So I hope the break isn't long-lived...

The NFL might not be around in 20 years.

True. We know the NFL of 20 years ago isn't around today, but at this rate of change it's either going to be gone or we'll see this:

I get it. I sent you a PM, as a guy who butted heads with you for a while before I came around on Alex Smith, I get it.

I too have been scarce only really getting on here anymore to check the destiny thread. The other stuff is blah to me. Its the same ol circle jerk that it has been.

I wish you all the best bro.

I sort of feel the same way. My apathy is more toward the NFL in general. Partly because of age I think, and partly because the greed of the league. I still like CP for the most part, but it's gotten pretty bad as far as the drama around here. Topics like mod abuse, banning, perma banning, who should and shouldn't be punished, and what for, etc., are just plain annoying. I used to click on the majority of threads on the first page. Now, I might see one or two that look interesting. Sad

You'll be back. They'll be really good this year.

This thread has some burst.

Is Clark gone as well? The history is consistent for longer than most on this board have been alive.
Did you see the movie "Draft Day?" I laughed when the Chiefs were the ones that called up wanting to trade for the Browns reject QB.
Even the movie industry recognizes a pattern set in stone.
