Oh, we won’t be. There are too many things betting against us this year. But that doesn’t mean that what is going on now is not the foundation for years in the future.

Are all these rookies that are starting today going to be starters when we have a Super Bowl caliber team in a few years? I sincerely doubt it. Right now we’re throwing rookies in to start just because we got no one else. We have almost no depth on this team whatsoever. Thats just going to take time to build and as time goes by, guys that are starting today will get replaced by guys that are better.

You’ve got to keep the long run in view, which is something Chiefs fans haven’t had to do for 15 years when Peterson was dangling out the “We’re one good player away from the Super Bowl” line in front of us.

There’s nothing impressive about the foundation of a house, but after time goes by and the rest of the mansion is built on that foundation, you finally see it was all worth it.

Just the way I see it. Maybe the Chiefs have finally manage to make me a jaded fan.

I also honestly just don’t think we’ll be very good.

Absolutely true. (this is the other 25%)

If someone says something you totally agree with, about the only thing you can say is “Great Post” which while its nice for the person who made the original post because it strokes his ego, its really boring to read.

I admit I’m kind of a Chiefs apologist. But its mostly because any change is out of my hands and all I see being negative doing is pissing on yourself in the wind because it does no good but get you hung up on taking the negative on everything. You’ve seen those guys that are always negative and then the team has an awesome game and everyone SHOULD be happy, but this guy just can’t do it, he still has to think of some way to dump on the team or take a dig at Peterson or some crap. That is the end result of being negative.

Whats the worst thing about being an overly optimistic homer? If they win, you’re right. If they lose, who cares, you think they’ll be better next time. But you don’t agonize over things that you can’t personally change.

Some things I take an opposing argument on just because I think someone said something out of line or unreasonable. I don’t think Webb is ever going to be better than a #4 WR in the NFL, but I think it is blatantly unfair to accuse him of being “the boss’s son” even if the boss’s son isn’t getting preferential treatment and is having to work his way up the ranks.

Just because I happen to believe the Chiefs can be much better than most everybody else thinks doesn’t mean that I don’t think there will bumps and setbacks along the way. My hope is that those kinds of days will be few in number.

Look, it boils down to this for me. Either these guys are worthy of being called NFL players, or they aren’t. If they’re the former, then they can win. It may be cliche, but it’s nevertheless true that nothing great was ever achieved by somebody who said “it can’t be done.” The first step in becoming a successful team is for the coaches and players to hold the unswerving belier they can win the next game. As long they believe that, then so will I.
