I think if I really looked I would see that it is mainly the same 10-15 people, but it sure seems like more sometimes.

I think that's largely a matter of perception and what horse you're betting on. On my side of the fence I feel like it's very difficult to say anything even remotely critical of Alex Smith or Andy Reid because regardless of what it is or how much you explain your position you automatically get lumped in as bitching-and-moaning. Similar to how other people feel like they get called homers when they're positive.

It eventually hits a point where I stop caring about people's reactions and begin ignoring a lot of replies or even entire threads. Which isn't really a productive thing on a forum for discussion.

No, but that isn't really the point. Things aren't as rigid and black and white in real life as you make them out to be.

Keep holding on to that hope!

And we will all see in time.

Better than wallowing in doom and gloom. You must be miserable.

Actually I'm just fine, thanks.

I know not to get upset when the certainty of the Chiefs not drafting a QB in the 1st or 2nd becomes reality.

I see both sides of the fence, and while you have been reasonable few others on your side have. Most on "my" side have been reasonable until attacked.

I'm glad you are certain about something that is NOT in any way certain. No one outside of the FO knows who they plan on drafting.

Well I'm sure that their first order of business is to get a #3 QB.

#3 this year doesn't mean always #3. You have to think long term, not just right now.

Note that they haven't signed a #3 and haven't named Stanzi #3. Where do you think they will get #3?

And you have to think intelligently and realize no one is going to draft a QB in the first or 2nd round to not even suit up on Sundays.

But don't let me stop you from keeping your eyes closed.

The same way they got Stanzi. 5th, 6th or 7th round.

yah, because it's wrong. Got any proof this is a weak draft for LT? From what I've seen it's considered as good a possible draft for tackles as 2008.
