Chief fans..Carl Peterson is no longer here so relax
 

I see all of these posts by people saying if you draft this player that will lead to 8-8, 9-7 yada yada yada

But it seems to me you guys are forgetting that Carl is no longer here and we have a new GM and young HC that is building for a championship.

I know it has been a long time and we have all been conditioned on thinking we are building to mediocrity and just trying to fill seats.

That has all changed so we all have to adjust and all this true fan stuff is the old way of thinking.

Sorry I had to vent...

I'm with ya. I probably have a little more optimism than some others on this board but after seeing what Miami and Atlanta did last year, I think anything is possible.

If we do not win the Super Bowl next year I will be calling for The Todd's head on a stick!

I do too but I think people on here really think we are still trying to strive for mediocrity and just fill the stadium.

It is a stupid line of thinking IMHO

we have the same owner though. same ole same old at 1 arrowhead drive

I used to think that too until this off-season. I now see Clark now as being very hungry to win a championship and build a championship type franchise.

I think he felt obligated to his father to keep Carl and that is probably the only reason why he lasted an extra year or so.

No arguement here.

That is just stupid. I hope that was an attempt of sarcasism.

Haha

Tell me how my line of thinking is stupid?

Thinking you understand how everyone else thinks on here. This thread is just another self proclaimation of brilliance. They are common here.

I was just messin with ya. Dont take it personal.

hows that 65 coming along?

I don't take it personal I was just genuinely curious and I am sure in the hell not brilliant.

It just seems to me from what people have posted that we still have the same line of thinking when Carl was here. It is understandable we all lived through it and believed that they really only wanted to fill the stadium and were happy with 8-8, 9-7 type seasons.

I personally have a line of thinking that is not influenced by Carl Peterson or any other person atop the food chain at Arrowhead. I like a player because thats the player I like. Not because I want to be mediocre. I understand the insult your trying to level against those that disagree with you.It's all good.

But as I said before, if you cant even comprehend what people are saying, how the hell do you know what they are thinking?

who thinks that?

Sadly...
Multi-year mediocrity has turned a large section of Chiefs Country into sniffling bitches.

Tighten yer bra-straps ladies...
Today is a new day...

What? I am not insulting anyone. I have just noticed in the last few days people saying if you draft this player or that player that is a recipe for going 8-8 or 9-7 or being mediocre.

My point is that is the old way of thinking and should no longer apply because we have a totally different regime in charge that wants to win championships not just fill the stadium or being content with being average.

It doesn't matter who's picking. If they do the same things as the old regime (no franchise quarterback) we can expect the same results.

if frankie posted "relax" in here it would make my day

Yep. It only makes sense at this point to assume Pioli is competent, which means bitching about his draft picks would make you and your theories of optimal drafting look a little foolish.

Exhibit A.

I'll very glady take 8-8 or 9-7 in '09 because it means the Chiefs did a terrific job in the offseason in all phases; management, coaching, draft, free agency and the emergence of their young players to the point where they can now learn to win games.

An 8-8 or 9-7 season this year puts the Chiefs MUCH closer to contending for a Super Bowl Championship than another 5 win or less season.

I'm a little hesitant that we *might* be switching to a 3-4. Mostly due to the Dorsey issue.

Other than that, I'm on board for everything. I trust Pioli and I'm very impressed with Clark Hunt thus far. I'm excited to be a Chiefs fan right now.

Amen, Mr. dirk digler. Amen.

At the same time, I think people are blindly putting faith in Pioli and Haley simply because it's something different. Right now I'm very hesitant to say we're definitely on the right track simply because different people are in charge.

As a wise man once said, better than bad != good.

I have a feeling that if we come out flat, and it becomes clear that we won't be Superbowl contenders within a season of new management, that people are going to be up in arms as to how we could still suck.

I don't think there's any reason to relax now......

We should go ahead and let those people know that they are morons and not waste any more time with it.

Wouldn't that be a nice improvement over the last 2 years? :D

It would be a very good start to turning the team around.

That's even more reason to be nervous
we don't know where he is
he could be anywhere -ANYWHERE

But you don't understand ... everyone on Chiefs Planet is qualified to be an NFL GM ...

Don't do it.

Hey now :D

You presume that has all changed.

How refreshing. Excellent thread!

Haha...

Sorry.
