That said, and there's guys in this argument that won't accept this....if Humphries was an actual upgrade over Thuney HE'D BE PLAYING. Facts.
He wasn't great against the Chargers. Then got hurt.
Then was just ok for a half against the Broncos. Then absolutely terrible for a half.
We're in the AFCCG....it's absurd that some want to talk about switching left tackles to a guy that has shown the above this season
I will say that the Texans had the best pass rush we would face in the playoffs and came out of that game with a win. I fully agree that if Humphries was an upgrade over Thuney he would be starting.
It really is an indictment on Humphries that Andy feels that Thuney at LT and Caliendo at LG is a stronger option than Humphries at LT and Thuney at LG. [Reply]

Not to beat a dead horse but this discussion really isn't about wins and losses. They won 15 games despite Kingsley being a traffic cone, Wanya being whatever he is, and everything else at LT.
They're going to win regardless of who plays LT. [Reply]

When Mahomes is running for his life and missing open receivers or throwing picks on 3rd in long it's the crowd saying "who cares we win regardless of who plays LT" that blame #15. They've got to do whatever the fuck it takes to fix left tackle in the offseason. Cut players, restructure contracts, etc. Do right by the best QB in the history of the NFL and get a real left tackle. [Reply]

Absolutely. But this isn't the off-season, it's the AFCCG.
There's nothing to "fix" at this point. We don't have a playable LT on the roster. Thuney is it. [Reply]

This is really what we've come to. All we have is arguing about who plays LT in the AFC Championship and Super Bowl, even though it literally doesn't matter.

No shit.
This whole discussion is really about floor vs. ceiling.
It's not about losing or being worried about losing.
Its literally about what the best configuration might be to win HANDILY. [Reply]

Im sure Andy will do what he thinks is best and who could argue with him.
If it doesnt matter who plays LT then DJ should absolutely start, letting Thuney return to his position. Or even Wanya.
I dont think anyone is "scared" we are just discussing what our best possible Oline lineup might be at this point. [Reply]

Yeah, I feel like people are treating humphries like hes the floor. The floor is probably wanya. It's like Minnesota... A lot of people thought sam darnold was the truth but maybe it's just that Minnesota had a good team and Dobbs was that bad. At worst we probably look closer to the chiefs we saw earlier in the year with humphries, as you said [Reply]
