It's been a long time coming. Adiós.

[OnTheWarpath15]

It's time for me to bow out. It's been almost 10 years, and I'm tired.

Tired of the false narratives. Tired of people arguing the poster instead of the post. Tired of discussing football with people who favor excuses over evidence. Tired of wasting time talking about an organization that hasn't won a playoff game in the lifetime of a college senior. Tired of watching other great posters leaving entirely or posting less, weakening the Football IQ this place was known for 5-10 years ago.

I know posting a thread instead of just walking away will open the door for many to take their cheap shots - we all know who they are - and if you don't, just wait. They'll show themselves. Those of you that know me privately know this has been building for a long time.

With all that said, I'll say what I've always said: This team has talent, but will continually fall short as long as they keep thinking you can win in the postseason consistently with average QB play. You don't put enough pressure on the opposing defense, and it puts too much pressure on your defense - if they don't have a near-perfect day, you lose.

Peters and Conley were great picks and should make an impact in the years to come. Should be fun to watch. (What? According to some, I NEVER say anything positive - just another false narrative) While I doubt he'll get his shot, I'd like to see if Murray can be that franchise guy, or if he fell for reasons other than what people here assume - namely, his height and injury history. Hopefully they get Houston signed long-term, because if they don't they are in deep, deep shit. The defense tends to carry this team, and Houston is the most important cog in said defense.

I've made a lot of great friends here that are still friends to this day, and will continue to be. This place was awesome when it was more community based - when there would be gatherings, tailgates, etc. Now, it's littered with trolls that take advantage of the anonymity of the internet and would never show their face in public. That attitude has weakened this place considerably, IMHO.

For those of you I call a friend, we'll be in touch. If anyone that isn't already a friend privately or on Facebook/Twitter wants to continue to keep in touch, I'll keep my PM's open for a week or so.

Thanks, Kyle. It was fun for a while. Queue the "well, bye/sour grapes" posts in 3...2...1.

Later bud, don't blame ya one bit.

Cause it makes more sense with an emphasis on "The".

You're tired of spending 2-3 minutes typing a post? I mean, I could understand if this was the old days and you spent 3 hours constantly dipping your pen into a bottle of ink, hovering over a piece of hemp, while holding your breath so not to blow out the candle barely illuminating your desk. Arguments make us more intelligent and healthier. You are not always right, but you are not always wrong. Hearing the other side is an instrumental product in mental growth. Have fun hanging out with people that sit around and say "yep, yep, absolutely right" to everything that comes out of your mouth. This board, just like the rest of the world, has and always will have morons inhabiting it. I don't know you so this is clearly an argument against the post, not the poster. But I look forward to seeing your celebratory post sometime in January 2016 after we win a playoff game.

He's just being pissy because people are actually excited to see this team in action for the 2015 season versus busting on Alex Smith 24/7, of which he's always been a major proponent of since the trade. (You can see this in the OP - defense carrying the team, etc.)

Back to back winning seasons and a real shot this year and he's bailing because he's left holding the tar bucket and bag of feathers with only two or three complete dingleberries standing behind him.

LOL, you nailed it.

Take a break, enjoy your summer and come back in September.

[Smed1065]

Good poster. Good time for a break.

And you shouldn't go...


That is all

[beach tribe]

The internet definitely has no shortage of pussies,, idiots and drama queens. This thread definitely qualifies for a col of those.
Its funny. It used to be the old guard hounding noobs till they made pussy threads like this, now its the other way around.
God forbid they still have the blind hope we lost years ago or else you'll have to act like a bitch and leave.
FTR I always thought you knew you're shit.

[lewdog]

If the Chiefs ever became good, half of the board would leave as there would be noting to bitch about.

[SAUTO]

I miss you already...

Do what I do. Read what interests you on the first page. Then only read the first page of the thread unless it still interests you. Assume what ever you were gonna say has or will be said. Thus have very little emotional connection. Move on to your next site of choice.

Join date Sep 2000, 894 posts That's called non-emotional connection.

Weird. Have you no convictions?
