True Fan is a label for people who believe that rebuilding the 90's Chiefs is the proper way to construct a franchise, people who believe that OLBs and RTs are worth top 3 picks. People who would never spend a first round pick on a QB, even though they say they will, because every first round QB has just enough warts to make them too risky.

They are penny wise and pound foolish.

Who ever you say. LOL

Another attribute of the truefan... Ignoring all logical arguments. I think Hamas explained it pretty well. They won't dispute the bigger point, like a RT isn't worth #3, instead reverting back to their original argument that Sanchez is a junior.

Who was the originator of the term, True Fan?

I know it was 'Hamas' that authored the article of secession that many, like myself, have signed, but who came up with the scarlet letter?

I think it started with Carl calling the fans that pay for season tickets and attend games "True Fans".

Article of secession? I guess I missed that. You guys have a secret password to get in the clubhouse too?

Yes, of course. How could I have forgotten that...

Naturally, the phrase has evolved and taken on its own meaning here, to reflect the Peterson swallowers.

I often write in allegory, so you might want to be a little less literal with your interpretative skills.

But to get into the club, one need only have testicles, metaphorically speaking.

Search Hamas's threads, and you'll find his appeal for True Fans to sign up for counseling. Your initial confusion about the nature of the definition suggests that this would be beneficial reading.

Yes.

Phil, the info. was right at your fingertips, and you refused to see the light...

yeah, whereas the "non-true fans" accept it as perfectly fine to draft Jenkins at #3 if the QBs aren't there for some reason. Nevermind that it completely ignores the fact that ONE cornerback has been drafted that high in the history of the NFL or that ZERO have been drafted in the last decade. It is much more fun to just repeat the term true fan and use the draft history argument for positions like linebacker and oline besides LT, but that doesn't apply to a slow CB who doesn't come close to comparing to elite physical talents at the position who were drafted much lower. While we're at it, let's ignore all history that says it's reeruned to draft a QB with 16 starts that high, because they nearly ALWAYS bust.

It was me, originally it was taken off of Bob Gretz's Real Fan quote

Deftinaly the Rams. Maybe the Bengals, but I'm not so sure on that. Possibly the Chargers and Oakland as well. Lions @ 20 may as well.

No matter what anyone else tries to say, that's the reality of the label.

It's kind of funny watching a bunch of people on a BB act as if they have decades of scouting experience, or were the guys who convinced the Pats to take Brady, or the Rams to sign up Warner, or for Dallas to trade Hershel Walker, or anything else for that matter.

Methinks there is a reason they are posting here and not actually employed by an NFL team ...

Are saying that we should be like Lemmings and not have opinions? I can see where people say they like Curry or whatever guy, but its the "good enough" or complacency with mediocrity at key positions of the football team is where I fail to see ones logic in their evaluations.
