The Browns are a factory of sadness. KC's culture is far different. It's also why Garrett went from wanting to stay in Cleveland his whole career to wanting out. [Reply]

I think Mahomes can survive another year of veteran stop gaps. Maybe two more. I don't know about doing this to him perpetually all because we're in the middle of a dynasty and we're too afraid to draft, develop, and eventually start our own LT.
It has to be done some time, man. Do you want broke dicks like DJ Humphries the rest of this dynasty?
No, no more vet half measures and stop gaps, Veach gets paid way too much money not to be able to figure this out this offseason. Chiefs owners pay for genius/high IQ moves and Veach must deliver. [Reply]

It's absolutely hilarious how clueless most of you are when it comes to this shit. Just because you want a long term solution this offseason doesn't mean there is one. [Reply]

I imagine all the guys who want us to trade it all away for somebody in this year’s draft will also bitch and moan if/when he struggles his first year [Reply]

Ugh...
I saw Belichick talk about Thuney after the super bowl and he mentioned that he hadn't played LT since high school...I think Donovan Smith would have done a little bit better but not sure it would have been enough to overcome the Philly D line. [Reply]

These were desperate/reactionary decisions the Chiefs made regarding the LT position, it should have been handled last offseason. Why they thought Kingsley was the answer at one time should sound alarms. Not bringing pass protection to the Superbowl has cost two Superbowls now, a steep price to pay. Mahomes can win with the crappiest WR squad in the NFL (like last year) but not with glaring flaws at OL. [Reply]

We're in the fifth year post Fisher and Veach still hasn't been able to find a long term solution at LT. It's fair to criticize him and also acknowledge it's not totally his fault. [Reply]

Garrett didn’t refuse to go back into game like this guy did.
No different than what Campbell did with the 49ers. [Reply]
Again, look at what they've done to both Mayfield and Watson. Pressured Mayfield to play a fucked up shoulder, he proceeds to have the worst season of his career, and they forced him out of the organization. Watson was constantly playing injured until his Achilles just blew. That is a very stupid organization. [Reply]

How is it different than what Campbell did with the 49ers? [Reply]

JFC, we get it… people are desperate for a LT… but get a grip.
Who the fuck ever said plug and play him as a starter day one? That's fucking retarded. But to just completely disregard what may be a salvageable talent because the Browns are fucking stupid is also retarded. Bring him into the food and see what, if anything, he can offer the team,. [Reply]
