I question someone's fandom if they can turn it off like a light.

Thats fine.

To be honest, I question someones mentality who can root for a team that sucks as bad as we do/have. The continual heartbreak etc.

Props to any of you guys who are MU, Royals and Chiefs fans.

If I didn't have KU or the Cards, I don't know how they do it.

I guess I've always held that part of the pride of being a fan is staying behind a team even if they never improve. It's just your team. And if I did give on one my teams, and they turned it around, I'd feel weird about trying to come back, kind of like not talking to a relative for 20 years, but as soon as you hear they're on their death bed, trying to get back in their lives for the inheritance.

Anyway, I also think it's stupid for the last straw to be not taking a player I wanted in the draft. I think Hunt has already shown he wants to change the losing culture, drafting an o lineman isn't going to send me back to the nothing has changed Forrest.

Then props to you.

But continually getting kicked in the face over and over, even dogs will fight back. Well, I can't fight back, but I can quit watching.

And it's not even a player I like. It's a position thing. All we've ever heard as a fan is that "we aren't in a position, too risky, no need for a QB now". Then this year only to have it be put back into a spot of that by their own choosing having to potentially trade up?

Sorry, not for me. Question my fandom if you want, but I've been a STL Cardinal fan longer and they've always treated the fans great.

And yeah, Clark did a whole lotta good this offseason. But there was alot of damage done over the past four years, and I just can't let him play the "i didn't knwo about it" card to it's fullest extent.

So unless they show me they are serious about it, I'm going to keep some distance.

I question someone's intelligence if they pay money and spend hours on a consistently inferior product with no hope of improvement.

Everyone's loyalties end as some point.

Mine would end the moment they announce we spent he top overall pick on a guard.

I don't think there is anyway we do, but if we were to take a OG at 1, yeah, I'd say that would be alot of people's stepping off point.

Dude, there is talent on this team and Reid is a good coach.

We're probably going to be a winning program again no matter what QB we take.

I'm far too dumb to not go gaga over that, even if the QB is a douche.

If this upcoming draft smells like 2009 all over again, I don't want to waste the energy.

I'll still post here from time to time and watch a couple games a year, but that's it.

I won't closely follow the team like I have for 20 years and spend thousands on stuff that has to do with it.

Seriously? 2-14 and they take a guard with the #1 overall pick? I question anyone who wants to be a fan of that.

Sadly....80% of this fanbase would be ecstatic. But then again...80% of this fanbase is ****ing reeruned.

I think it's reeruned to think a draft pick means nothing has changed. This place was thrilled with Reid and Dorsey, but an unpopular pick and they're dead to you? I remember the old days when even coaches we didn't like got one season.

What you don't seem to feel, is that this pick isn't a single pick in a vacuum. For me and it seems like alot of people, this shit has been boiling for years and years.

After going through what this fan base has over the last ...well...forever...it shouldn't take anyone here more than a first draft/offseason to see the intent and the inherent intelligence (or lack therof) of the front office.

I'm not gonna go through another "we got our Tom Brady AND our own Richard Seymour in the same offseason" start again.

I'll wait till a new movie starts to play before I buy another ticket because I've already seen this sad shitty movie too many times .

I wouldn't go see another Star Wars movie that was written and directed by George Lucas. I HAVE seen that movie before, I love Star Wars too much to pay to see his vision anymore. But now that J J Abrams is on board, I can't wait, even if Abrams says he has an interesting idea for bringing back Jar Jar, I'll still trust him.

I trust Reid and Dorsey, I will after the draft, even if we go OL. I don't see any way we don't have at least two new QBs, and I'll be excited to see what happens.

I know you are a big Foles fan, but if those two new QB's are Foles and Landry Jones, you may be watching that movie alone.

Yeah, I guess it's just another variant on the fair weather fan concept.
