3 years is a solid amount of time to build a team imo. Provided that a lot of things go your way. But it could take longer sometimes. It all depends Flop.

The only way it takes longer in my opinion is if your new GM decides to come in and completely ignore what little strengths the team has and scraps the whole thing and starts over.

I guess this fan base has decided since it hasn't won a Super Bowl in 40 years, 5 more to making the playoffs is no big deal. That's not good enough for me. Not that my opinion means shit anyways.

True. I agree with that.

Also, I think the GM has to be a really good gun slinger. I think the GM needs to score a lot. Missing is no good. I think its pure hit and miss.

If you're a bad team drafting in the top 5 two years in a row and you miss on those picks you are in deep trouble because it's those picks that are the differential makers that either set your team back or make your team go forward.

Im part of that fanbase where I've been patient but just willing to hang in there from time to time. If it takes them 3 years great, if it takes them 5, Im cool with that too. As a fan, the most important thing Im always keeping in mind, is, progress. As long as my team is making strides thats what counts. Sometimes it takes long, sometimes it doesn't. But it's the patience that plays an integral role in that sense. The frustration kicks in when I see my team regressing....Herman *cough* Edwards *cough*

Honestly, I'm not going anywhere. I'm a Chief for life. But it's frustrating as ****. And while everyone piles on OTW and Hamas, I can totally relate to being so passionate about this team that my blood boils sometimes. The only difference between us is I say **** it and don't click submit, but they usually do. I won't fault them for that. And I'm not saying you are, I'm just sayin'.

Totally understandable. Me too.

This is no offense to any of them, they're critical posters but can't say I blame them. Hamas, OTW and even Dane they express truth when it comes to this team, but it's the truth part that is hard to swallow. I try to look at the bright side of this team, not saying they're negative or anything, but they're willing to detect the flaws of this team from the inside out and give their takes. I can respect that because it enables me to see things differently coming from their point of view. Hey, each have there own approach right? But thats the planet and thats what makes it great is different peoples thoughts, opinions and personalities.

I give them credit for just letting it out and expressing their thoughts and frustration. A lot of what they say relates to why this team has failed over the years. They may not be right all the time, but at times I can see how they are. So I could get what they're saying from time to time. Don't get me wrong, Im not trying to kiss butt, lol just saying things the way I see it.
