I am not a sports fan. I don't understand being a sports fan. I only watch one sport, one team, a few times per year. I have a question about fandom. Hopefully fans can help me understand.

Let's say your team has a rookie star player at quarterback. He's a Heisman Trophy winner. He broke records in college. You're all excited about his rookie season. You buy the jersey with his number. Then, he sucks. Think Tim Tebow's first game as starter. The rising star turns out to be ashes, but you've already bought the jersey. You have that emotional investment that fans have. At what point are you ready for your team to get rid of him? If he goes 3-13 three seasons in a row are you ready for a new quarterback?
