Now I don’t need nor expect Kingsley to become Lane Johnson, but it’d be cool as fuck if he could be a top-15 LT. Orlando Brown level but in a different skill set.
Speaking of Brown, still can’t believe you tried to credit that horseshit field surface nonsense Eagles fans tried to spew since LVII. All Mahomes and co. did that night was abuse their secondary/LBs getting the ball out fast (corn dog was embarrassing), with a nice run game mixed in. Shoulda never been a surprise that the QB who broke the NFL yardage record that year gave them fits. [Reply]

OBJ had taken over for an injured Ronnie Stanley and played well-well enough that he refused to go back to the right side, as it was always his father's dream that he too would play LEFT tackle and make LEFT tackle money. And so he was traded.
and then he thought he deserved more money than we were offering-and since he didn't get what he wanted, he signed with our top rival for less out of spite. So **** that guy.
Neither of these are great examples for your argument.
My argument is that starting LT’s are available via a trade, rather than just relying on UFA/the draft… which you just spent a lot of words agreeing with. [Reply]

You'd have to be in complete and total denial to not acknowledge that field played a significant factor.
Both defensive ends and Mahomes slip on this play.

Penix is a left handed QB that doesn’t require the same investment in a LT, when they had right handed QB’s.
That is a trade opportunity.
Just like Willie Roaf.
Just like OBJ.
Matthews base salary is $15m. It's $21m with restructures which...they would be responsible for. So he doesn't save them much over any starting salary offensive tackle.
This idea that you have that since Penix is left handed he doesn't matter is moronic. He still draws every team's RDE/rushbacker. He's a trusted veteran and they'd be stupid to trade him when he isn't all that much cap relief.
