Chiefs Who was the QB when you became a Chiefs fan? - Page 6

Sorce · 01-17-2019, 03:34 PM

The first one I can remember as the QB watching Chiefs games was Steve DeBerg that would have put me at about 6-9 years old when I became a fan and really started following the team.

I was 7 or 8 when I started paying attention. Livingston was QB but first game I went to was when Fuller was playing. Cold as hell and Arrowhead was empty. Maybe 15000 people there. But I went with my dad and we cheered and KC lost. I think we played the Broncos but I could be mistaken.

When I was a baby it was Len Dawson but Steve Fuller is the first I can remember.

First I remember was Bill Kinney throwing a bunch of yards to Stephone Paige. But I was a little kid, my grandpa was watching the games and I would try to figure it out but at that age baseball held my interest more - I-70 Series and all. My mom and uncle used to go to games all the time (my aunt worked at for the Jackson County Sports Complex at the time.) So I went to Royals games but not Chiefs games.

I became a true FAN when DeBerg broke his pinky and was out there slinging it to JJ Birden and handing off to Okoye with a giant cast on in the snow. I thought that was badass.

Then I got Madden for Super Nintendo, and I developed a real love for the strategy of the game.

And then we traded for Joe Montana and Marcus Allen. I went to 2 games that year, vsGB on MNF and the Pittsburgh playoff game.

I thought we were gonna legitimately compete for the Super Bowl every year.

I didn't know much about anything...but I was a completely different person the last time we went to an AFCCG.

No one became a Chiefs fan when Croyle or Cassel was QB?

Shocker.

I just think that's so awesome. I mean, TSB cemented my Chiefs fandom in many ways too but KC is also only 3 hours from me and the closest pro city by an hour over Minneapolis / St. Paul.

I'm a Dawson voter (1971-72) so...yeah. Can't fudge the math. I'll be 60 later this month.

QB Jacky Lee - He got a ring with the CHIEFS - Bill Kenney made the voting list twice! NICE!

PunkinDrublic · 01-17-2019, 06:13 PM

Bill Kenney. One of the earliest games I remember watching was upsetting the Steelers in Pittsburgh only to get trounced by the Jets in the playoffs.

Deberg

Montana, I was a young lad just getting into football and the only name I really knew was Joe Montana and I grew up in Kansas and it was on TV all of the time and became hooked. There was this kid that was a bills fan in my grade and he kept talking shit after the last time we made it to the Championship round and we got into a fist fight.

Yep, I will be 57 in May and started watching when I was 5.

Ha I recall making a comment on their page back when Cassel was QB. I said something along the lines of this franchise will never gain new fans because they aren’t serious about getting a legit starter at QB. I’d like to think they read my post but who am I kidding. lol

Deberg, I was 8 years old

Dawson. (I'm 72.)

I went to William Jewell in the mid 60s when the Chiefs trained there but I wasn't a football fan then. I joined the Air Force in 1968 and my first assignment was in Minnesota. Listening to the Vikings fans dump on the Chiefs got me paying attention. I ended up making a few bucks betting on SB 4 and I've been a fan ever since.
