You roasted Clay for being negative about the Chiefs when he could have just been enjoying the season. And now that we have the QB we need, YOU are being equally as critical all because "Boo hoo, we might take a step back in 2018!" Essentially, you are also being Clay just because you think people are getting TOO excited about something that's pretty damn exciting for a franchise.
This year is important. It's an important risk the team is taking. I'm glad we FINALLY freaking took that risk instead of playing it safe every year and never going anywhere.
You're really going to focus on team football this year? That's your thing? If the team doesn't do well for just this one year in spite of whatever growth and progress we see Mahomes make, you're not going to be happy?
That's just an idiotic mindset.

Absolute load of HORSE SHIT.
First off, Clay and his minions weren't simply critical. They were abusive trolls who not only predicted doom, but downplayed success, and badmouthed achievements.
Second, the mantra has been that the QB change is the ONLY thing holding us back.
I'm not critical of Mahomes. That's different from being critical of people who have unrealistic expectations of anyone in a competitive endeavor. That is criticizing unrealistic fans, not the player.
Just admit it, the QB draft was the prize you wanted. The expectations of a championship was just the strategy you tried to employ to shame people into agreeing with you.
And if the CHIEFS do take a step back, I will assess that development under different metrics than I judge the fans who insisted that this ONE move was a no-brainer fast track to league dominance. As a fan, I'm not going to hold the franchise responsible for the shitty behavior and opinions of the fanbase.
Drafting Mahomes was the right thing to do. I hope the rest of the franchise decisions are as sound. Most importantly, I'll keep my assessment of their efforts as a professional organization separate from the shit that goes on here, just as I have in the past. Just like I kept their personnel and philosophical decisions of the past 5 years separate from the failures of previous regimes.
