Hope is a dangerous thing, folks.

I saw a news segment last night about the record crowds at training camp and how Chiefs/Cowboys tickets are averaging ~$200 right now (granted, Cowboys fans are probably part of that, it's amusing since both fanbases haven't had many reasons to pay that much for tickets since the mid-90s)....

If that gets you hard, then so be it.

...it's crazy how they can fail in exactly the same way over and over and over, but simply trying to start over every few years creates enough buzz to keep fans coming back time and time again.

I do find it hilarious that some fans would have "hope" if we would have used 1.1 on a 2nd round caliber QB.
There wasn't a franchise caliber QB in this draft and I 100% believe if there was Dorsey and Reid would have been all over it.
You can hold your breath and stomp your feet and show disgust all day long, it doesn't change the fact it was a shit QB class.

Would you have been angry if the Chiefs had 1.1 and used it to draft Aaron Rodgers? My opinion is that maybe this was the one draft where we can be 100% certain there was no QB worth taking at #1, but it doesn't excuse the fact that they once again spent a draft pick on another team's backup or didn't take a chance in the 3rd.
Someone posted the stat during the draft.... the Packers have drafted something like 13 QBs in the first 3 rounds since 1992, and they had Favre for 15 of those years. The Chiefs have drafted one, I think? One franchise clearly gets it, while the other does not.
So, maybe Dorsey knew this wasn't the year, and previous regime's failures aren't his fault, but you can't keep feeding me the same shit over and over and over and expect me to think it's going to be different the 5th or 6th or 7th time around. Again, that's not their fault, and maybe they really do see something in Alex Smith or they're already looking at someone for next year, etc; but the same things could be said about previous regimes, too. 'Hopeless' is a strong word... I'm much more apathetic than anything.
