18 Years Later, Are the Chiefs Any Closer To Winning the Super Bowl?

[TEX]

I was wondering if the Chiefs are any closer now to winning the Super Bowl, than they were back when Peterson first took over? Back then, we were a bad team going in the right direction, and now it seems like we're just the opposite.

The success we enjoyed of at least making the playoffs in the '90's is losing its luster each year that we haven't made them this decade. Seems like it's all going the wrong way.

[007]

Ummmmm, NO!

[greg63]

Ummmmm, NO!

That about sums it up.

[Wilson]

Just don't forget to keep Arrowhead packed and season tickets purchased to show Carl you're behind him 100%. If tickets are selling, there isn't anything wrong.

And that remains the wildcard of the whole deal. Maybe Herm just might do the trick. :hmmm:

[Smed1065]

I will send you the bill for my therapy. It is a 5 year plan. It is a 5 year plan. It is a 5 year plan to the third degree...

They have been sale-outs. Oh the fans-Ah yes they are our concern, at least getting it full- thats why I am KING...I did pick LJ once in 18 years. I am KING. spend money for T-Rich, we do not use him more than 500,000 dollars worth. Willie is just joking, heck he made Shields commit. He is just gambling and moving to Vegas, he will come when I call but get that TE Turley just in case. We are set.

Rut Roh, he left us hanging, glad we got Turley for LT. Go CP.

[Abba-Dabba]

No.

I will never put my faith in a Carl Peterson team ever again. Never again will I purchase merchadise, never will I attend a game as long has he is in KC. Doing so only prolongs his stay.

18yrs into a 5yr plan is long enough to realize it just isn't working.

[KCWolfman]

No.

You realize by watching you are helping the Neilsens and possibly increasing viewership and sales?

I didn't watch the game, nor will I any future games until Carl is gone.

I'd believe the Iraqi Minister of Information before I believe a word out of pompous Carl Peterson's mouth. He's a snake oil salesman, and we would be better off if he took the millions he has milked out of our fanbase and went away.

[Mr. Kotter]

Nope.

This is our year!!

WOO-HOO!!!

Go Chiefs!!

So is it Carl Peterson's fault that we've wallowed in mediocrity for 17 years?

Or is it the fault of Lamar Hunt? Carl Peterson is the Marty Schottenheimer of GMs, and Hunt is the guy that's inked him to what will amount to over two decades of this shit.

Carl Peterson was the problem 10 years ago. The real problem now is an apathetic absentee owner that allows Peterson to keep the job.

[htismaqe]

I'm not sure we were ever close to winning the Super Bowl in the 1st place...

abso frigging lutely. Hopefully Lamar will turn this over to his kids and they will be smart enough to fire the guy.

Wicky Wicky Wicky Wicky Dumm Dichy Dumm. Yeahhh.

[ChiefsCountry]

Yeah Lamar is going to fire the guy that took his piece of shit franchise of the late 70s and 80s and made it into one of the best franchises in the NFL. And I'm not a Peterson fan by no means.

[HC_Chief]

That's Lamar's MO: hire a shitty GM and keep him for waaaaaaaay too long. See: Jack Steadman.

[stevieray]

absentee owner


IMO, this is a huge mitigating factor.

[jspchief]

Yeah Lamar is going to fire the guy that took his piece of shit franchise of the late 70s and 80s and made it into one of the best franchises in the NFL. And I'm not a Peterson fan by no means.Using that logic, Marty should still be our Head Coach too.

[ChiefsCountry]

Lamar is not an absentee owner. He might not live here in KC but he is at the pulse of the whole organization. Some of you have no f***ing clue.

[stevieray]

Of cousre he is the pulse, but it's human nature to take advantage of situation such as this.

[jspchief]

Lamar is not an absentee owner. He might not live here in KC but he is at the pulse of the whole organization. Some of you have no f***ing clue.So you think he's just apathetic then?

How else can you explain keeping a GM who's brought us one play-off win in 17 years and one play-off appearance in the last 10 years?

[burt]

So you think he's just apathetic then?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
the seats are full, merchandising is very high...as long as the Chiefs are this profitable...why change???

[DMAC]

So you think he's just apathetic then?

How else can you explain keeping a GM who's brought us one play-off win in 17 years and one play-off appearance in the last 10 years?It's all our fault really, we continue to be fans and sell out the stadium every week.

[ChiefsCountry]

I see it as a business not just some little toy that alot of you do.

[jspchief]

In the grand scheme of things, the fans are ultimately to blame. Not only do we show up every Sunday, we pass taxes that build them a new stadium.

Doesn't change the fact that there is some owner's apathy here. There are a lot of other owners that have full stadiums, but you don't see them settling for 17 years of mediocrity.

I respect what Lamar Hunt has done for the league and the city of Kansas City, but he's on his way to being another ineffective owner like Ralph Wilson or Al Davis. The NFL is moving at light speed, and Lamar Hunt can't keep up.

Do you always know that its basically Clark Hunt running the show now?

[jspchief]

I see it as a business not just some little toy that alot of you do.Yea, because guys like Robert Kraft, Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder don't make any profits.

[jspchief]

Do you always know that its basically Clark Hunt running the show now?If it was Clark that chose to re-sign Peterson for another 4 years, then he's as apathetic as his father.

[Otter]

I see it as a business not just some little toy that alot of you do.

So, tell us oh might Chiefs Country, when is it OK for the fans to expect either a change or some post-season success?

[jspchief]

So, tell us oh might Chiefs Country, when is it OK for the fans to expect either a change or some post-season success?Don't be stupid. Fans should root for the bottom line on the books, not the team on the field.

[Skip Towne]

Peterson's goals are not the same as those of the fanbase. It's that simple. Peterson is an executive who is doing what he is paid to do. If the team wins as well we are all happy.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

WE WILL WIN THIS YEAR!!! WE ARE SUPER BOWL BOUND!!! CARL RULES!!! MEDIOCRITY RULES!!!

(jumps off bridge)

[StcChief]

Why do threads like this come up when we all know the answer. :rolleyes:

[Chiefs Pantalones]

There really is no use for these threads, I agree. They just remind us that we, once again, won't sniff the Super Bowl, let alone the playoffs, for another year.

It's fun to watch though!! Thanks Carl and Lamar!!

[jspchief]

Why do threads like this come up when we all know the answer. :rolleyes:We could always have a "Move Jason Dunn to Tackle!!!" thread instead. :(

[TEX]

I see it as a business not just some little toy that alot of you do.

You just might be correct. I know Peterson got allot of run for the Chiefs having the 3rd best record in the NFL in the '90's and qualifyiing for the playoffs 6 or 7 times that decade, but his record this decade is making that seem like a long time ago, and as time passes it actually is. However, what has remained constent has been ticket sales. :hmmm:

Now come on Cody - remember all those Corey Dillon threads we all had to endure years ago? :doh!:

[gblowfish]

Dear Greatest Fans in the NFL:

I find this thread somewhat disturbing, and I must say, it hurts my feelings. I am by nature a sensitive, gentle, nurturing kind of guy. As I have said over and over again, my five year plan is really not a five year plan. It's a continuing work in progress, and I won't stop until the job is done. And I'm proud of my many accomplishments in my 18 years as President/GM/CEO/LTGMIPS:

• Sellouts Sellouts Sellouts! You see a sea of red. I see a sea of green.
• Corporate sponsorships for everything: My morning constitutional is now brought to you by Charmin, official TP of the Kansas City Chiefs.
• Merchandising: For your clothing, home, car, pets and workplace. Now everything you own can be officially logoed and licensed Chiefs merchandise!
• Quality Coaching: Over my tenure, I've employed brilliant, playoff and super bowl bound coaches like Tony Dungy and Bill Cowher. Look at how successful they've been, all because I gave them their big break.
• Quality Players: Guys like John Tait, Joe Horn, Ryan Lilja and others, who are top line NFL players on up and coming playoff contenders.
• A new Arrowhead Stadium: With luxurious suites and offices so we can compete with other elite NFL franchises to be number one in amenities.
• The Fans: I promise the nachos will continue to be the NFL's cheesiest. This is my pledge to you, the greatest fans in the NFL.

I pledge to continue working just as hard as I ever have to deliver a quality game day experience, and do my level best for the Hunt Family.

Now go out there and buy up those December games, so we can keep our sellout streak alive, because the real fans are in the seats - but you didn't hear that from me. Just a little Arrowhead office humor. Heh...


Your Pal,
Carl Delano Peterson
LTGMIPS

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Now come on Cody - remember all those Corey Dillon threads we all had to endure years ago? :doh!:

Corey, at the time, would've been a great addition, thank you very much. And a chance to win :harumph:

Bitching won't.

This post only works if you assume that "best" = "most profitable". The Chiefs haven't been one of the best, the best have won the f**king Super Bowl at least once, some more than once.

We haven't even sniffed the Super Bowl.... that means we ARE NOT one of the "best".... We are kinda like the Chicago Cubs of the NFL

That's actually a great analogy, IMO. A fan base that thinks way more of the team than the facts support, one good run in the last 25 years that came up short because of one play.

Lamar doesn't feel that way because he's making a chitpotfull of cash. Money can forgive a lot of sins......and CP has done a masterful job of developing the KCC's into a money machine.

[ChiefsCountry]

I know I have sports management classes and in the different publications that make you read which is the insider magazines for the industry the Chiefs are thought of as a top 5 organization. Thats in all phases of it. Take it for what you guys believe but I will trust the people in the business instead.

You know, I was thinking about this earlier today. I think Carl probably gets a lot more credit than he deserves in this area. I mean, how hard is it really to turn a profit with an NFL franchise these days? Are there any that aren't making boatloads of cash?

[Mecca]

It's pretty simple as has been said Lamar cares about the bottom line nothing else. You want him to take notice and get rid of Carl....don't go to games. That stadiums half full Lamar will take notice then.

Apparently we are just screwed then......but as long as that stadium is full we have no chance for change at all.
