I think I've slowly slid from #2 in the 90s/early 2000s to at least 3, if not 4. It's hard to be optimistic when you see a team make the same mistakes again and again... and even when they take a step forward, it's not until after the sky has fallen, and it's usually followed by two steps back. I still have glimmers of hope... the thought of season tickets popped into my head after the regime change... but, I've taught myself to squash those thoughts, which sucks.

It's just gotten worse and worse over time, though. Either every GM in the NFL is ignorant, or CP groupthink is ignorant.

Just as in politics where most of the noise is made by the people who are the extremist on the right and left, so it is here at CP. The naysayers(which includes many of those who mislabel themselves as pessimist) dominate the forum even though as in politics their numbers are small compared to the larger population....so it is here at CP.

Per webster most of the CP naysayers and pessimist aren't really fans....
def... Definition of FAN
