Why should people be happy about trading Hill?
[Reply]

This bugs the hell out of me about this place.

Not everyone needs to be happy about every single thing. Not every move is good.

I get that were all homers here but it's OK if people are pissed off about this move. It's highly questionable to say the least.

when you're standing alongside DTVietnam and Como, you should probably take a look at yourself.

Something bad happens ≠ the worst will continue to happen forever

Because Mahomes. In Veach We Trust. You know, things like that.

Losing the most explosive playmaker in football would be a big deal to most teams, but not your mighty and invincible Chiefs! :-)

At the top until someone proves otherwise.

lol, but you and several others are weeping vaginas about EVERYTHING.

It has nothing to do with rose colored glasses and everything to do with how people go full retard about every little thing that happens and extrapolates it into the worst possible future..... some people are actually capable of accepting bad things happen and even being angry about those things without being a fucking retard about it.

I was told for decades my satisfaction with signs of quality play or cohesion or improvement or . . . whatever sports is about, was a stain on my worth as a fan, because everything short of SBs is utter failure . . . So I tried to accommodate these standards, and now that we see how hard a SB is, I'm now being told that expecting SBs 'all the time' is utter failure and a stain on my fandom as well.

I have utter faith in Mahomes. I had utter faith in Tyreek and Kelce. I said regularly if I was starting a franchise from scratch, I'd take Mahomes and Tyreek before even Reid, Veach, Arrowhead, KC, or any other aspect/characteristic/touchstone of a franchise property. I meant that.

Reid and Veach and Spags have NOT earned that blind trust, not with the failures that have been interspersed with our successes, and not with Mahomes and Tyreek clouding objective assessment of the franchise as a whole with shit-saving theatrics.

This isn't Bilichek molding a dynasty to the personnel on-hand with creativity and flexibility. Time will tell if they eventually demonstrate their own form of genius and creativity OUTSIDE of drafting a generational QB.

It will be interesting to see what develops over the next few years, but this was supposed to be the window where we TAKE ADVANTAGE of a young generational QB on the roster, not rebuild to make up for mistakes and failures already apparent.

Short term... I think KC is no longer a 'no brainer' pick to win the division this season. Long term ... could really set this team up incredibly well if the right picks are made.

Mahomes can win with anyone, so they'll maintain double digit wins... but, it's a much harder road until they replace Hill with a high caliber dude.

Seems like you listened to some morons, so that's unfortunate.

1. Chargers
2. Raiders
3. KC
4. Donx
That's how I see it now. Trading Reek was foolish. Varch is full of himself on this one. Sorry, just no silver lining for me. Hill was the best game-changer in the league. Now gone. You don't replace that.

Because SB, . . .


[Reply]

No guarantees just cuz you have the draft pick. Trade normal good players in their prime, not future HOF'ers. Dumb trade..
[Reply]

Yeah, listening to other people's advice on the quality of your fandom is probably full-on rerunned [though it apparently doesn't stop anyone from OFFERING IT, . . . /cough], . . but it's kind of the raison d'etre of this board's existence.


Time to close shop. Fan how you want at home alone.

Bearcat will mail out quarterly newsletters on proper fandom that you would be directly advised by him to ignore.

The Chargers don't play a home game all season. How are they winning the division unless their talent far outweighs the other teams?
