Another 10 or 15 years of this and your optimism may subside a bit. That's what my experience has been. Been watchin the same s*** for too many years!! It just seems like some of the teams that sucked for soooo long have either been to the Superbowl or won it. We on the other hand continue to get bounced when we are lucky enough to make the playoffs! One constant for the last 20 years is Peterson!! Think it's time for a change??:bananen_smilies046:
I agree hall is a great player , all I am saying is show my one of the Top Tier recievers he has shut down one on one ?
Hall can play well against big, physical receivers (ala Terrell Owens)...he has trouble against the small, quick guys (ala Chris Chambers, Brandon Stokely, or Brandon Marshall)...oh wait, are those guys all in his new division.
Hall is a very good corner, however he IS NOT worth the $70 million he was signed for...7 years, and around $50 million would've been good value for the salary cap. My family and friends that are Raiders fans (I pity the fools...) are not pleased!
Don't start with the whole "fan" thing!! I've been watching the Chiefs for 36 years now! My point was I used to be as optimistic as you but since they haven't made it to the Superbowl in my lifetime and haven't been to the AFC Championship very often, I would like to see a change in the way things are done! You can't say they have done that!! After about 10 years of Peterson not getting the job done, something should have changed. ALL of the other teams in football and all other sports sure do!!
I know you don't agree but it sucks to know your team is going to have a bad season!! And yes, I did know last season was going to suck and yes, this season is going to be a long one as well. Doesn't mean I'm going to watch any less or become any less of a fan but I am tired of watching teams that have been worse than us for longer, pass us by and make their teams better and get to and win Superbowls!!!
I did not question you "fandom" I just asked why you watch. I hear a ton of people who piss and moan about the team no matter what they do. I don't understand why they watch. I am not saying anyone is less of a fan, I just don't understand the logic. I like watching sports becase you don't KNOW until the season is over, until then we are all guessing what is gonna happen. How many giants fans had this conversation last season?
You know as well as I that as a fan of a certain team, you have some idea of what your team is going to be like in a given season. IMO, this is what fans do. They wonder why they aren't better each year. If you don't win the Big One that is!! How many years is a fan of a team that hasn't been to the Superbowl or conference championship in forever suppose to sit idley by and say nothing?
