I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this past season when my Hawkeyes went 8-4 and capped it off with an impressive bowl win. Even without trouncing it would have been an excellent season. Why? Because of expectations. I don't have any illusions of a National Championship or going to the Rose Bowl every year. Now that the Cardinals have made the SB, the Chiefs are in Bengals/Lions territory, and frankly, I expect more. No, I don't expect them to win it all right now, or even in the near future. But they need to win a SINGLE playoff game once every 2 decades for chrissakes.

The old "your logic is terrible" argument is a cop-out. Reminds me of me circa 2003. If you can't make an argument stick, just call the other guy a dummy. I'll leave it at that, I'm not gonna argue anymore about semantics.

It WOULD have a bearing, IF I was in the "we're drafting a QB at all costs" camp, but I'm not.

See, you've made an assumption about me, one that is wholly incorrect.
