According to this he had a higher pass blocking grade in Minnesota.
Cam Robinson has a 77.6 PFF pass blocking grade since being acquired by the Vikings. He's been charged with one sack allowed in six games.
Kevin O’Connell on Robinson's impact:
"I don’t know many teams that can lose one of the best left tackles in football and win six…
For the life of me I don’t get why people wouldn’t want this kid. High floor, knows the offense, is not a chronic broke dick like some of these other options.
He would be the best pass blocking LT we’ve had since Eric Fisher.
Maybe because he isn't very good? That's probably why. How most of our OLine looked in the SB is a pretty normal game for Robinson. Pressures, sacks, penalties... ugh. Really do not want. [Reply]
What was stupid was trying to insinuate only the Chiefs got an advantage or that Soma did it on purpose. By all accounts he actually rage quit the league because they wouldn't listen to him. [Reply]
Well, you know, top LEFT TACKLES tend to come HIGH IN THE FIRST ROUND.
What pick was Fisher again?
Or you pay out the ass for one in free agency.
You found TWO in thirty years we traded for, which were unusual circumstances and want to strut around like a pigeon on a bingo board thinking your hitting bullseyes. [Reply]
Mahomes slips too lol. And this is one of the few drop backs when you go back and watch that had any sort of slippage + meaningful result. All night long it was Mahomes playing pitch and catch, whether it be the first couple drives that were nice or the entire 2nd half. He had 13 throws out in under 2.5 seconds and completed them all.
Shitty field or not, I know our defense didn’t have fun trying to cover their receivers or pace Hurts in the open that night either let alone rush the passer. [Reply]

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.
So no, I bet that will not happen.
No surprise that you are thinking small on how to address the LT position.
That’s your general trend here.
See your laughable takes on “having trust in the development of Skyy Less” during the 2023 offseason when you were opposed to signing Hopkins.

2 > 1, yes?
Eric Fisher is the only successful example of a LT drafted/signed via UFA during that same time frame.

I’m sure that’s relevant.
This guy thinks Atlanta is going to trade their good left tackle because their second year QB is left handed, so I don't he's going to respond to sarcasm. [Reply]

Chiefs fans really are turning into 90s Cowboys/00s Patriots fans.
"Hey we need this one position really bad. Like... right now. Somebody in the league needs to sell us a premium player at that spot because we said so. And no, we're not paying full price, either!" [Reply]
