I hate this take, but I agree with it. Smith is nasty when he's on, but he'd be the prototypical guard in a Harbaugh offense. He'd definitely been more than adequate for us, but he'd shine in a run first offense.
If he goes to Baltimore he can probably play 8-10 years at/near an All-Pro level and be the next Marshall Yanda for them.
He could absolutely be that kind of player for the next decade or so.

And there's a non-zero chance that it happens.
Non-zero chance he retires early to pursue his passion in motivational speaking. [Reply]

If he does get it we will know it is a Mahomes decision. They have a great relationship. The Chiefs have shown zero willingness to pay high dollar at the center position before, nor should they.
I was never 100% sure they wouldn't but just that they shouldn't. [Reply]

Butker must be paid. He is a hall of famer. [Reply]

Even the seasons we didn't win Championships, he made huge kicks to force OT against the Bills, Bengals, and Patriots. None of those kicks were easy. [Reply]

Creed's not a perfect center but you have to have continuity if you want to protect the best QB in the league.

Exactly, Butker has been clutch as hell in the Playoffs. Buffalo sure wishes they had Butker instead of the Wide Right guy. Niners as well: they win the Super Bowl if they had a clean game from the special teams unit. [Reply]
