Chiefs Who was the QB when you became a Chiefs fan? - Page 12

cooper barrett · 01-19-2019, 10:52 AM

As a kid Len Dawson, but I didn't become a fan who spent hundreds in $$$ to go to a game/ event until Montana showed up on the scene.

When I was a kid- Dawson was still the Qb but on the decline. We went to games as a family, but I don't have any specific memories of them, unfortunately. I only have memories of Dawson being on television.

The first game I remember attending, the Chiefs had Livingston I think. The stadium was so empty my friend and I walked around the entire lower level without anyone in the way. Arrowhead was a ghost town through the 80's as well. I have watched every QB play at Arrowhead except Mahomes.

Need multiple options. It was back when Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon were dueling it out. I just remember being very little but I can remember my family bitching about how they wanted Gannon to start full time.

Wallcrawler · 01-19-2019, 12:06 PM

Montana. I was 15, and didnt really give a shit about any sport. My uncle sat me down and said I needed to be watching football, and the chiefs, because we now has the greatest qb of all time.

So he taught me the game, and I got hooked.

The OT game against the Steelers had my nerves shot, shaming Buddy Ryan in his own house, and going to the AFC title game.

Then 13:25 in the third happened. Talley and Smith bounce Joe's head off the Astroturf and our hopes rested on Dave Kreig. Lost 30-13.

25 years later, I'm 40 years old and just about a week ago finally saw my Chiefs win a home playoff game.

Jesus. 25 years.

Born a few days within our only sb win in 1970. Dad had season tix in the 70's my first game was 1976 and I was 6 years old. I don't remember anything about the game lolz. I do however remember we used to get excited saying oh Stabler, Fouts, Zorn were coming to town. I also remember always asking dad why is it we can never win games. I got that it's not about winning games it's about having a good time. Bill Kenney threw the ugliest ducks you have ever seen and they were almost always completed.

I remember a Giants game where all we had to do was run a couple of plays and to win and the Giants forced a fumble and returned it for a TD. I was really disappointed that game, but since then i've gotten used to that feeling. Now that we have Mahomes things have really changed huh?

Lenny the cool. My parents drove to Vegas for the first Super Bowl. Grew up watching the movie my Dad shot of the trip and the game on his movie camera. Used to sell programs at the games in the early 80s. You’d get in for free and be able to watch the 2nd half from wherever you could find a seat. Was at the first Indy Playoff loss. Lost my voice for a week screaming “Run the damn ball!” As Bono would bounce another incomplete pass. My dad still watches old games from the 90s that he recorded on VHS while he’s on the treadmill. We bleed Red and Gold. Always have.

I still rewatch the 1986 Steelers game on VHS too. I recorded games every year from 1980 to whenever I got my dvr. I know I have the entire 1993 season on tape in a box somewhere.

Montana or Bono. Grbac was when I realized I should have chosen a different team to enjoy.

CoMoChief · 01-19-2019, 01:10 PM

Montana

I was 8yrs old.

You can literally see three different generations of Chiefs fans:

55 year old +/- (Dawson crowd)

40-55 +/- (DeBerg crowd)

25-40 +/1 (Montana Crowd)

< 25: You are just too new to vote LOL

I'm 54, but I didn't smoke weed and have an excellent memory.

Lenny the Cool. Ed Podolak at RB. Buch Bucannan on the D. Jan Stenrud at K

Skyy God · 01-19-2019, 05:09 PM

Steve DeBerg.

Sucked almost more than the poster.

Pablo · 01-19-2019, 05:12 PM

Montana. Would have been 7 I guess at the time. That's when I really started to watch football intently.

My grandma got a Pomeranian puppy sometime in '93. If you're unfamiliar with these ****ing things, they are the worst dog to ever exist. Just fluffy little yapping one who sucks the peniss. She named him Peppy. Peppy Joe. Peppy Joe Montana. So that obviously stuck as well.
