I literally acknowledged the first time I brought him up as an option for me that I've been dismissive up until this point, but I posted that before there was any strong connection to the Chiefs.
Again, I don't know what the deal is, but you seem to want to argue a lot lately. That's all I'm saying. Not a personal attack, just an observation.
He hasn't improved every year. He was awful in 2023. And in 2024 he was the same guy he was in 2022. That's a guy who's found his ceiling (and it was fringe starter quality) but who's also demonstrated that his floor is going to stay in play. [Reply]

It was Duncan in the draft section FA thread. [Reply]

Maybe that's the case, but that seems to be the consensus amongst Steelers fans whether they like him or hate him. [Reply]

Sure, granted, but this year 5 of us dealing with an uncertain long term LT - a problem that has - in part - lead to us blowing two super bowls because we can't protect the QB. Look I don't think they are going to sign an expensive LT and then draft one in the first... but fuck a duck... we have to fix this, one way or another. [Reply]

If you end up with more than one starting caliber T then wonderful, you have a RT for next year when Taylor is kicked to the curb.
Hardly a waste when LT is the lone position on the roster that is potentially responsible for getting Mahomes injured. Miss out on a DT or CB? Oh well, maybe the defense falls off for a year or so. It's not the end of the world.
When your offense has fallen off 2 years in a row due to a combination of shit WR play and shit LT play, you're really going to not go hard at addressing LT? That's insanity.
Sure, don't trade way up in a shit OT class in the draft. Signing someone in FA (either Moore) and still drafting Conerly in the 1st or maybe Ersery/Mbow/Belton in the 2nd/3rd range isn't too much to ask. [Reply]
