But as I've constantly stressed, most outside the fanbase still see it as a team game, and we're still going to have to build a champion 'the hard way.'
Assemble as much competence as you can at every position and at every level of the organization,
groom a few superstars who can be unleashed when the entire team gels,
and pray like hell for good health when everyone is in their prime
A QB alone, even a superstar, gets you the Lions of the past decade.
An offense alone, even one full of superstars, gets you the Vikings of the 90s.
Bad health and bad gambles at key positions get you the non-SB years of the Falcons or Panthers.
You still have to do ALL the work, even if a superstar at QB relieves some tension here and there.

I tried to ignore this post. I tried. It’s just so stupid and off-base, I literally can’t help it and am seriously wondering if it was just elaborate trolling post. Your football takes are so bad, that when I read them, I want to rip my own jaw off so I can forcibly chew my eyeballs off my face because they are in so much pain after reading your posts. That bad.
Yeah, we ****ing get it, dude. Football is a ****ing team sport. A team can’t trot out a badass QB with the little slap dick nerds from the Little ****ing Giants and expect to reel in Super Bowls. We all get that and that’s why 90% of the actual Chiefs fans on here have expressed concern/panic regarding the OL/Defense at some point in the past few weeks. Because football is a ****ing team game. Everybody ****ing gets that.
However, your continued failure to acknowledge that the QB position is hands down, the most important position in the game and the most crucial to its success is annoying as hell. The QB is the ****ing leader of the team. The field general. Without one, your team is likely to not stand a freaking chance. You make sure that base is covered first and then build from there, for without a QB, there is no chance...Nick Foles is not Trent Dilfer...Foles can ball.. And as passive aggressive, contrarian and subtly spiteful you have always come off towards Mahomes and the Chiefs fans who support him, it does feel for a lot of us as if we actually have a freaking QB in which a Super Bowl win is a possibility for the first time since Trent Green. So pardon us for being excited.
Team game, yeah... but I’m sure that more teams have won and/or made it to Super Bowls with a sub par ILB than with a sub par QB. And that goes for every position. It’s the most important position on the field and if you had ever actually watched a football game in your lifetime, you may know that.
And then you want to make RIDICULOUS statements like “a QB alone, even a superstar gets you the Lions of the past decade.” Seriously? You think the Lions have been a Stafford-only team. Stafford (who is a good QB, for sure, but superstar? Maybe in your mind, for you probably have some sort of crush on him) has had help:
Ezekiel Ansah
Ndamukong Suh
Calvin Johnson
Brandon Pettigrew has had his moments.
Reggie Bush
Golden Tate
Matt Prater
Jamal Agnew
TJ Lang
Glover Quinn
Dan Muhlbach
Darius Slay
Etc...
The Lions have had some talent on their roster. Such an obtuse statement.
The Vikings of the 90’s? You mean the squad that had these offensive pro bowlers (excluding kickers and punters):
Randall McDaniel
Cris Carter
Randy Moss
Warren Moon
Randall Cunningham
Ted Steuissie
Jeff Christy
Steve Jordan
Robert Smith
Compared to their defensive pro bowlers of the 90’s:
John Randle
Joey Browner
Carl Lee
Chris Doleman
Audrey McMillan
Jack Del Rio
Todd Scott
Henry Thomas
Pretty evenly matched there...
And the Falcons and Panthers when they DON’T actually make a SB due to their skill players getting banged up? You referring to Kelvin Benjamin? You should see Cam Newton’s winning percentage without him compared to with him. Cam wins more without him. And Julio Jones, I’m guessing is the Falcons key player you are referring to... shit, those two teams have rolled with the punches. Injuries happen to every team and the Falcons are always a threat, with or without Julio.
Try watching a football game sometime...
Good God, dude.
