ChiefsPlanet It's been a long time coming. Adiós. - Page 8

**OnTheWarpath15** · 07-01-2015, 02:04 PM

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.

He's just being pissy because people are actually excited to see this team in action for the 2015 season versus busting on Alex Smith 24/7, of which he's always been a major proponent of since the trade. (You can see this in the OP - defense carrying the team, etc.)

Back to back winning seasons and a real shot this year and he's bailing because he's left holding the tar bucket and bag of feathers with only two or three complete dingleberries standing behind him.

"No ones left to crush the Chiefs and these idiot Planeteers with every single post, too bad the Four Horsemen arent around anymore to obliterate all in their path".

I genuinely dont get it, leaving NOW... just as this club is about to become meaningful again, best overall roster since the days of Marty.

You know, if the Chiefs roll this year and win the Superbowl, you can't come back.

It would be bad luck.

(You're safe

Just hang out in the golf/baseball threads.

I mean... Pete's in the baseball threads, so that's a net loss, but the golf thread is usually clean.

Think about it.

Chiefnj2 · 07-01-2015, 05:14 PM

I can't believe he let Billay and Bosschief beat him into submission.

I wish you would stick around to watch Alex suck and fall short again; good times?

Hey, if that's what sent him over the edge, the guy needed a break.
