What were you saying in the 80s? Were you saying I'll give them one more chance, but that's it?

I was a kid/teenager in the 80's. After flirting with being a Steeler fan, I finally found MY team. And by the time I had a chance to really formulate my fandom, Marty came in, brought Okoye in, and the rest is history.
And do you honestly think ONE draft pick is the reason?
This draft pick isn't the catalyst, it's the straw that broke the camel's back.
This sentiment has been building for YEARS. I was ready to quit when Vermeil let the Eagles overcome an insurmountable halftime lead and beat us. I was ready to quit when they hired Herm.
The problem is that I CAN'T quit. I'm too emotionally invested in this team to just give up 30 years of fandom. I'm far from a fairweather fan, regardless of what Dipshit DC says.
