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 find it very appropriate that this thread turned into a funeral pyre of Alex Smith butthurt.

Pffft, the tears of shame that Alex will create this season are going to be legendary.

Same here. No way do I need laptop. Work provides that.

Who said Clark doesn't want to win, he has had two winning seasons in a row. Way to jump to a conclusion on something I didn't say. This team just isn't going to draft and develop a QB, they never have and they haven't even tried in over 30 years. It is what it is.

Good Lord. I'm just minding my own business, and all of a sudden I get this PM from Pestilence asking me to go pork him while his wife is away. I thought ignoring it would make him go away, but he kept prompting me. Can you ****ing believe this shit?

There used to be a time on CP when we didn't allow this kind of funny business!

I blame Flopnuts.

They've drafted plenty of QBs, they just haven't drafted one in the first round.

So are you saying that Clark is behind his desk somewhere telling everyone they'll be fired if they try to pick a QB in the 1st round?

Is he screening GM and HC candidates by warning them they shall never draft one in the 1st, ever?

Clark looks around at most super bowl winning teams and sees that they have this thing in common, and he says "Nope!"

Come on.

They haven't really drafted plenty of QBs, either.

Murray (5th)
Stanzi (5th)
Croyle (3rd)
Killian (7th)
Barnes (4th)
Stenstrom (4th)
Matthews (7th)
Blundin (2nd)

Those are all the QBs we've drafted since 1990. 25 years for being as shitty as we have been at the position, and we've only drafted 8 guys throughout the 7 rounds. And half of those are 5th round and later "throwaway" QB picks.

When Alex Smith breaks down and we need a new QB, what are we going to do? Trade for another veteran? Are you going to say, "the sins of the team's past shouldn't hold down the decision making of the current team?"

That's what we said in 2013, and we're still without a first round QB.

There's a golden plaque behind his desk that says:

"Thou shalt not venture above round three".

Really.

Good post.

Dur, all the best talent for QB comes in rounds 4-7, everyone knows this!

**RealSNR** · 07-08-2015, 07:26 AM

"Andy Reid is different"

He already Carl Petersoned shit up by passing on Teddy Bridgewater in 2014. That's one strike. You can probably bet your ass he'll pass on some other first round QBs in the future, too.

The sins of the team's past DO become the sins of the team's future when they commit the SAME ****ING SIN over and over again.

My best educated guess is they will draft a QB in the first 2 rounds of the 2016 draft.

Reid traded McNabb after the season he was 33yrs old. Alex is 31 now so I'd guess he would want to get a replacement in line to groom in the next year.
