You act like there were tons of options.

This is such a lame argunent b/c most anything would have been better. That's what I act like.

Yes, definitely no more Superbowls until we get the LT/RT situations figured out, Philly perfected the blueprint that has been out there for a few years to defend Mahomes, and crashing/pinching the weak line is part of it. We need an immediate answer at LT that is a far above average player who may be peak pro bowl at times. Pat will probably be back to his 40+ TD self when this happens and PPG will go up into the 30's as well. I blame Veach and Andy equally for the abomination line they presented in the Superbowl that was going to get Mahomes killed eventually. Pretty reckless management and coaching decisions if you ask me, especially for football experts making many tens of $ millions.

The irony. What a fucking cop out bullshit answer you provided after this.

Provide some actual names or :-) you whiny fucking bitch.

No, it's not a lame argument, it's reality.

Sometimes a situation is just crap, with no good choices.

It didn't work out.

Left Tackle is probably the second hardest position in football to fill. We don't draft nearly high enough to get one. Good ones don't come free very often and are wildly expensive when they do.
[Reply]

yes, and that falls on Veach...

Names.

From now on, this will be my answer to any post saying THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING

Name the fucking names.

Some of you guys think real life is Madden.

Another buttfucking moron.

All I know is some of you need to open your eyes, start breathing again, and stop stomping your feet.

I KNOW you WANTS the new Left Tackle NOWS … but throwing fits about isn’t going to manifest it.

It’s easy to say “spend the money.” You can’t control who is available to spend the money on.

Maybe Robinson hits the market. Maybe Alaric Jackson does (the Rams don’t use the franchise tag, so it’s possible he’s out there). Maybe each of them is locked up before the window opens. I wouldn’t blink one bit if they made Jackson the new highest paid player at LT, because they can create the cap space, it’s worth doing, he’s young and good, and it’s better than helping a G reset the market when he’s good in pass protection but not dominant.

They will do … something.

I don’t love the idea of signing a veteran in the JAG tier to stop-gap it while they keep trying to develop a T based on traits. But that may end up being the best option available to them. And in that scenario, Humphries in his second year removed from his ACL tear might be a pretty good option.

I do believe they’re going to consider both upside and floor with whatever decision they make.

That probably means they aren’t going to blow through a bunch of draft capital to get a T in a pretty weak T draft … unless they’re lock-stock sold on that player.

And unless they see something no one else does, I have a hard time believing that T is in this draft, unless there’s a guy the Chiefs see something with… that most don’t.

Slater for me. Would've solved the problem for a decade plus.

Well said.

Enough. It's up to him to identify and acquire the necessary assets to protect Mahomes. That's not on members of CP.

The LT situation should have been handled in the offseason last year, not w/ desperate reactive decisions bringing in Humphries etc. during the latter part of the season. To me thinking they were good coming into the season w/ Kingsley and Morris as LT depth is a huge huge red flag and the NFL exposed how bad of a decision that was within the first few games.

One path I can think of would have been taking the tackle the Cowboys did (Guyton) instead of Worthy, prob a 1,000+ different things they could have done last off season. Mahomes with like 1.5 seconds average more to throw is a 40+ TD QB easily, but only having like 2 seconds even Brady/Manning/peak Rodgers would suck in these scenarios.

But you have no idea where exactly they needed to go up to, what it would cost, and whether they had a willing trade partner.

And this is all in hindsight.
