Let's talk about "true fans"

[The Franchise]

1 - True "homers" who will cheer for the team and applaud every move they make unconditionally. These types almost don't even exist on ChiefsPlanet (though people like to act like they do). These are only a small portion of the Chiefs fanbase, and they look like this.

This is the only statement I don't believe. These people aren't a small portion. There are literally thousands of these ****ers out there. They have zero football knowledge and only go off of what ESPN and NFL tell them.

I don't mean to say that they don't exist in the world, but just not on here. CP eats homers alive.

Even then, though, my personal guess is that only 10-15% of the total fanbase really falls into that category. See: Arrowhead attendance late last year.

If a homer can stay a homer through 10 years of shit, I don't know whether to applaud them or loathe them.

[WhawhaWhat]

Always an optimist.

I think I'm balanced for the most part. I hate the Alex Smith trade but I could see this team winning 10 games and going to the playoffs. I think there's a huge difference between Crennel and Reid and that alone is worth 4-5 more wins.

I consider myself a realist, but am probably viewed as a pessimist because well this team has history of sucking and it looks like they will again. So when you think they suck and they do you get viewed as being negative, but you are actually a realist

I'm an Awesome Optimist with pragmatic expectations and realistic evaluations.

I'm optimistic about most things in my life (who wouldn't be whilst this Awesome?) but in reference to the OP definitions - I always knew, and voiced, that Cassel would be a failure.

Exactly my point. You call a pyle of shit a pyle of shit and you are called negative, but when what else is one supposed to call a pyle of shit other than Brainiac?

Again, the issue is that it's not black and white. You would probably say that there's a 10% chance Alex Smith will be successful in KC. I'd say it's more like a 40% chance.

No matter which of us we're talking about, though, it's not going to change in the next couple years. Are you really going to be bitching about Alex the entire time, or at some point can you give it up and try to have a discussion about something else?

It depends on your definition of successful.


If it's 9-7 to 11-5 with maybe a playoff win I would say Smith's success possibility is 80%

If it's 10-6 to 13-3 with a Superbowl I would say his success possiblitiy is 10%

I would assume it depends on his performance. What was the hot topic the last 4 years? The suckage or lack of for 1 year of Matt Cassell. I don't recall much discussion on Trent Green other than if he was a top 10 QB or not.

No problem with calling a perceived pile a pile of shit. The problem exists when a person creates multiple threads as well as multiple opportunities to draw attention to the fact that he thinks it is a pile of shit. Virtually every post of said poster contains some element of his that thinks that pile is indeed made of shit. Plus in the off chance that he posts about something else, there is a catch all in his sig that will ensure that even the new topic will be tainted by the knowledge that he indeed thinks that pile is shit.

It becomes redundant and boring.
