Yup, I started it all
Why so much hate? - Kansas City Chiefs Forums
Look at it this way...
If you call someone fat, in a room full of fat people, others may feel a bit offended.
Since you challenged Prough's loyalty, based on his negative outlook, others with a negative outlook may feel challenged as well.
Challenging anyone's fandom is not a good idea. It never turns out well around here.
Because you insenuate that you are the "true blue" fan, and those who agree with your target are "fake".
Let me explain something to you.
You are not the high authority on what it means to be a fan.
You are in no position to "call out" another's fandom. You are not a better fan than anyone else.
You got me to respond to you, because you insulted me. Rather you meant to, or not.
That is a bold-faced lie.
Even Hermhater himself was not expressing disdane for Herm here before I. And I hated it the day I was informed of the trade that brought Herm here.
But, by some act of special treatment, you got ousted, while I didn't.
Oh, wait. I think your first banning came from me.
But how did I become a Mod with such an anti-Herm attitude?
You were banned because you are rude, selfish and inconsiderate. Not to mention you deliberately defied the rules of the site.
If memeory serves, it was you who graced us with a link to the 2girls video.
Quite the class act.
Now, unless you want me to post all kinds of your personal info all across the internet...
Get lost!!!
Because you don't build a team full of QBs.
I'll go further in a sec...
Drafting for league value is ridiculous. You are drafting for value to your team.
You don't use the 34th, overall, pick for a back-up QB.
Now, what we have done, unless we trade one of the two, is to diminish the league value of either Thig, or Cassel.
Both were young upcoming starting QBs. A very high-demand product around the leage.
Now, we have one starter, and a back-up.
Whichever (Thig) is plunged into the backup role loses a ton of league value.
But, back to the team value concept...
With the 34th pick we could have gotten a key piece to building a strong football team that we don't already have.
Vrabel is a stop-gap. And Cassel is redundant.
That is poor value to this team.
If it were a team that didn't already have a hot young QB prospect, then the value is better for that team.
But it is poor value to this team.
I despise the notion of drafting the BPA, because we aren't building some other team. We are building this one.
That's why we do not draft Darren Mcfadden, if he is made available in this years draft.
We need O-line and D-line, very badly. Anything else is really hard to judge, due to the lack of line play on both sides of the ball.
By using the 34th pick on a position that was already filled, we have hampered our ability to fill the most glaring needs of THIS team.
NOW...
I know all of that sounds strongly anti-Cassel. But I am not.
I need to bold this, to ensure that it is seen prior to responses...
I believe that Cassel is a btter QB than Thigpen.
I'll even go so far as to say that I think Thigpen is kind of a bad QB. But he played well last season.
ANd because of that opinion, I am not strongly against the trade.
But I definitely feel like Thigpen was more than good enough, and had earned a real opportunity to prove himself here.
And that forcing him into a backup role is a lack of league value, as well as team value.
Especially when sacrificing such a valuable tool for building a team.
With my opinion of Cassel/Thigpen and my feelings about the teams needs/value, I am left with a lukewarm dislike for the trade.
I still don't see the logic in the the argument revolving around the 'Kansas City Patriots' dilemma that some people are all of a sudden worried about. As far as I know, Scott Pioli was the VP of Player Personnel, meaning he was not directly involved in the play calling in New England, merely he was an integral part in finding and retaining good football players for the team.
That's it.
Now that the year is up and his tenure in New England is over and he was appointed the GM of the Kansas City Chiefs its hard to find fault in him signing players he is familiar with from a previous team; ones he's scouted and approved of before coming here.
It makes practical sense.
It shouldn't who gets the limelight in KC. The spot light is for Madonna's, TO's, and Jay Cutlers, the players we don't need. What I want is for the 'pre Pioli' and the 'Pioli' guys to shine as a team and win, no matter what it looks like. Trying to emulate success isn't a bad thing. I don't see why we'd try something out of left field and hope it works, or develop some ill contrived 'system identity' (Marty Ball etc.)
There are only 2 identites in sports: Winners and Losers, and as of last season we were losers. I'm more then ready to be a winner again, even if it does mean copying some of what another team has done. Like every analyst says about the NFL, this is a copy cat league, a win now league.
A public apology is not enough for you now? grow up

I really don't think this site was brought to us to decide who the biggest Chiefs fan is. (Please correct me mods if i'm incorrect.) We are all Chiefs fans or we wouldn't take the time to post here. Differing opinions on what will get us to the SB is what makes this site great. Attacking members 'fandom' or rating your 'fandom' on a scale vs other members is simply childish. If you are indeed the universes' biggest Chiefs fan, you wouldn't have to remind us. We would already know.
