An example they used was Houston, look at the splits they use to try to protect their OT's, that they have them get wider to create a larger pocket to give the QB even extra tenths of a second, you don't see the Chiefs do this at all, their pocket is narrow and condensed. [Reply]

Trey Smith wasn't a "Find" most people knew who he was medicals made him fall, the Chiefs took a chance and it worked, that isn't taking some raw fuck and molding him. [Reply]

Well, it's not all his fault. But if we are gonna have the GOAT convo and he's gonna make the cash he does, we can't win without him playing at an elite level. [Reply]

Like, what in the fuck is this bullshit? You're a dentist, right? You can't seriously be stupid enough to not understand that a QBs job is directly affected by the quality of his weapons and protection.
The axe to grind some seem to have towards Mahomes is getting pretty fucking old. Just because Brady has a small pocket of success where he made chicken salad out of chicken shit doesn't mean it's the standard we should expect Mahomes to operate in in perpetuity. [Reply]

No QB is winning a SB being pressured 45+%. In SB history Eli Manning is the only QB who has ever won being pressured that much and it was because the Giants also put that much pressure on Tom that game and there had to be a winner.
This was a problem all season long. You don’t need all-pro’s but goddamn dude you can’t have no running game and a history bad OL in the SB.
So either the Chiefs are gonna expect Mahomes to make turds shine because of money reasons or they are gonna have to play the void year game. which is it? [Reply]
There's 17 games in a fucking season and he had a 4 man rotation playing musical chairs all year. Just saying he needed to suck it up is a bit lame IMO. [Reply]

They still have Chris Jones for a couple more years, Trent, Karlaftis and will likely keep Bolton.
Nobody is saying not to put resources into the defense. They need use this draft for the offense like what the used the 2022 draft for the defense [Reply]
