Absolutely. The cap and the relentless march of time have rendered Alex moot here.

My concern for 2017 was the Chiefs.

In 2017, Alex was a given, so all the bellyaching was wasted effort for a fanbase. Productive effort was to be found in trying to get the team to play sound and to its potential.

In 2018, the dynamics change, and now the pressure is on actually building a team that can't blame all their inadequacies on one person.

MoF, I'd nearly rather go 0-16 for 5 years than for Alex to come back. Not because of Alex or Patrick, but because of the tired reeruned squabble here.

So you’d nearly rather the team you support go 0-16 for 5 years but still be able to come on cp without hearing Smith squabbling?

I think I’d rather them win a SB and be banned from cP for 5 years, but that’s just me!

And I've seen people talking as I do derided as Alexsexuals. Haven't seen your supposed silent majority speaking up much of anywhere.

TBH, part of why I stepped away was to let the reasonable people assert themselves if they intended to. Didn't happen.

That's not what I'm seeing. I think most people, the less vocal majority, are excited for mahomes because he has a high ceiling. Whereas Alex Smith we know he has a playoff floor, but a very low chance of a super bowl ceiling. Most of us are content to take a shot at mahomes even if that means he fails.

That's not SEEING. Again, that is inference and supposition.

So you have 20-30 people out of however many thousand posters that are either die hard Smith haters or die hard Smith lovers - with no in between.

What you don't see is the enormous group in between them that can appreciate what Smith is, while complaining about his limitations.

Again - you see what you want to see.

Congrats though, you've upbraided my shortcomings. Something you seem unable to do with people you 'actually' disagree with philosophically about the team.

Dude. Relax. At this rate you’re gonna stroke out and totally miss the Mahomes era.

Xanax. You should try it.

Keep beating that drum that the board is against you and that you know better than everyone else.

First off, I said NEARLY.
Second, my hypothetical was only the choice between another year of Alex squabbling and 5 years of losses.
Third, it was TIC hyperbole. Neither has more than the most hypothetical chance of happening, and I'd have control over neither in any case.

I think I'd rather win 2 SBs, **** Shanola Hampton's brains out, and have the internet cease to exist altogether, if we're opening the options up. ;)
