If the pessimists were slightly less obnoxious in their self-righteous bitching it wouldn't force balanced fans into homerism. |
The majority of the forum probably falls in the 3-4 category. However, people are so desperate to win an argument that these 3's & 4's get over dramatic and label each other as 1's & 5's.
Too many people over-sensationalize someone else's views in order to prop themselves up. Hell, just look at this thread if you need proof. |
I think that the total naysayers are either trolls or former homers who are truly homers on the inside but have gone "rogue".
I don't understand why people think that a player being the best option at this time makes them a homer, especially when they share the same idea to replace "said player" in the near future. |
By your definition I would fit into the "naysayer" slot, but I think I am balanced.
|
I would say a 3 for me....I'm not particularly thrilled about the Alex Smith trade and what we gave up. But I wasn't much on the Geno bandwagon either.....
Had Pioli been allowed to stay I would have been a definite 5....but I will give Andy Reid the benefit of the doubt for now. |

The place to find the liars is usually going to be #3. Most people in any fan base will claim that they are balanced, and most people area full of shit when they make that claim. Here, the poster norm is probably #4.
It's almost a polar opposite of most team boards I read, although the dynamics are similar. JetsInsider, for example, has the "SOJF" insult instead of "true fan", but its populated mostly by homers, optimists and people who just hate every other team. If your #4 posters here think the "true fans" are bad, try reading Ray Ray on JI for a little while. Even your most wide eyed homers around here are cynical bastards compared to him. |
If we want to use the term "real fans" in the manner in which it is used, I think it should be o.k. to refer to the other end of the spectrum to be labeled, "dumb asses".......:p
|
You guys should find the original "True Fans" post, which sparked this whole thing (well, that and Carl Peterson).....I think it was made by Hamas iirc. Everyone throws the term around on this forum, but i have to wonder how many remember the original post.
|
I would put myself slightly closer to 4 than 3.
