Why are so many acting as if this offense has maxed out? Hit their ceiling? Reached their top gear in week 2?
Does anyone REALLY believe that this is as good as this new KC offense will get? They must, because all I keep reading is..
"well, they will need more from this quarterback if they are going to play the good teams, and make noise in the playoffs"
So after working together thoughout these weeks, do people really think they won't gel better and be.. better? If so, then why even say such a thing as the italicized? other than to basically act unhappy that the team might actually be better than they thought, and that hurts their assessment ego.
Furthermore, this notion of a 2-14 team... suddenly becoming a 9 or 10 win team... and some people say what? "it's not enough, if they get bounced out of the playoffs in rd 1!"
For real? So it is all or nothing in one year from being the worst to the best?
WTF kind of spoiled entitlement is that????  |
I've answered that question several times... it has little to do with the first two weeks. Alex Smith has been the same quarterback for 8 years. Two games isn't going to sway my opinion. If he does something to change my opinion when given the opportunity, great.
The main reason people are pointing it out is because it's pretty crazy to say the Chiefs have fixed their QB issue, it's a huge upgrade, etc; after 2 games. Again, it has little to do with the first two weeks or even the next 14... but, as far as my own opinion is concerned, there's 20 years of watching retread QBs, 20 years of seeing the same strategy regarding the QB position, and 8 years of Alex Smith stats backing up my opinion that he is who he is and he won't be the guy to lead the Chiefs deep into the playoffs. I don't care if I'm right or wrong... and obviously I hope I'm wrong. WTF would I have an ego about a football opinion? LOL.
It's not spoiled entitlement and no is complaining... again, we're just pointing out that after so many years of watching the same QB strategy fail, we're going to give it more than 2 weeks before we're sold... and again, there's a lot of proof out there that you need an elite QB to win in this league, and a lot of proof that Alex Smith is not that guy.
And if there is spoiled entitlement, I'd point to the hundreds of dollars, hours spent, etc; on a shitty product. There's so much talk these days about fan loyalty, and Chiefs fans will flock to Arrowhead at the mere thought of a competitive team... you don't think that kind of loyalty entitles fans to the best product possible? Bullshit. People have been spending thousands of dollars and what amounts to weeks and months of time over several years, just to have the wool pulled over their eyes every few years so they can keep spending money on a mediocre product. Screw that. I'm not getting excited over not being the most terrible team in the NFL, and I'm sure as hell not running out to buy tickets. So yeah, if they want $100+/game and hours of my day, the least they could do is wake the **** up and do what it takes to win some hardware in this league.
