It's amazingly prophetic because we actually had people championing for Womach to be the top pick

I consider myself a perfectly realistic Cardinals fan. I'd be viewed as a Chiefs naysayer, but when they exhibit the ineptitude consistent with one of the worst franchises in professional sports, what benefit of the doubt have they earned?

I'm a 4. Not because I want to be but I've been a Chiefs/Royals fan my whole life and they've never done anything so it's hard to imagine that dynamic truly changing. I was alive when the Royals won but I wasn't old enough to get anything from it.
All I've known is the pure hellish torture of perpetual losing with no hope. |

I put myself down as a naysayer, but depending on the day and how good a mood I'm in, I'm anywhere from 3-5.

I used to be a relentless #1 homer and true fan. That all came to an end one night in Arrowhead in the Denver playoff game. The one that Rich Gannon watched from the sidelines, prior to moving to Oakland and becoming the league MVP. Since then I've bounced between 3 and 4, and was tilting into "5" this past season. Now firmly at 4. Reid/Dorsey don't seem all that savvy to me so far.

I think I vacillate across the spectrum depending on the topic at hand.
Jamal Charles? **** you, Adrian Peterson! Charles is going for 4000 yards this year! Alex Smith? **** you, Dorsey/Reid! Alex Smith is Casshole's asshole! Eric Fisher? **** you, Eric Fisher, your mullet is unimpressive! ... nice combine though hmmm, actually, is there a mostly angry hateful bastard option? **** you, OP! My crapulence is underrepresented!

I think those are included in naysayers.

It is hard to place myself. In general I'm pessimistic, but willing to wait and see. I didn't like the Cassel trade, but cheered for him anyway, but knew pretty quickly in his 3rd year that we HAD to move on. I didn't like trading for Smith, but I'll cheer for him to succeed. Hate taking a LT/RT at the first pick in the draft, but understand that this years draft was weak. Watching all the naysayers makes me feel better about the team and occasionally drive me up to a 2.
eh. |

I think the number of True Fans here are greatly underestimated by most of this board. We assume that they aren't here because they don't post. They're the Silent Majority. I also think that there are a number of people that are more True Fan than they are willing to admit. To borrow a phrase from Lacan, it's the "Knowledge that doesn't know itself."
