Cassel in his second year took us to the playoffs and was a Pro Bowl alternate. Sounds like he was a "success" in KC. How are you going to define "success" for AS? It has to be better than that. |

Alex Smith is a good QB. He is just not what the collective CP brain trust has wished for, so they will attack him relentlessly. That is all this is about. They will never give him a chance, and will unfairly compare him to Cassel (as the person I was responding to did) because they are throwing a temper tantrum because they didn't get their way. |

I was responding to your comment that we should mark it down that you think AS will be successful.
It will be easy for Homers to claim in 2015, when he is cut, that he was "successful" and that they were right ... merely because our record improved from 2-14 in 2012 to 8-8 in 2013 and 9-7 in 2014. My point is that the "collective CP brain trust" is not likely to consider AS to be a "success" unless he has statistics that place him as a top 10 QB and the team wins at least one playoff game in the next two seasons. I think that would be a minimum, IMO. |

Should we change the name of this forum to "I didn't get my way so I'm throwing a tantrum like a petulant child"?

At this point I'd much rather be labeled a 'True Fan' or 'Homer'.
I wanted Geno. I did not like the trade for Alex. I want them to keep Albert. I do not want to draft Joeckel #1. I just don't feel the need to cry about all of it like a little girl with skinned knees. Get over yourselves. |

Hard to be positive when the last 20 years have been suck. I guess you could replace negative with apathetic.
But here's to hoping they get it right eventually |

I found long time ago, this is not the board to be a member of if your looking for any happiness. Doom and gloom rules the day. To even think positive on anything means your a complete "true fan". It gets old quick but just the way it is on CP.

I agree with everything you said. Thank you. The only difference between us is that I do not presume to tell someone when they need to "move on." This is especially true when the draft trades and selections are yet to occur. Any regime that sees AS as the long term solution for this team, IMO, deserves to be suspected and subject to criticism. If he selects Geno, I will stop complaining. If they trade down, get a great player, get an extra first rounder next year, and select a QB in round 3 that turns out to be a hope for the future, I will get on the bandwagon too. |
