I’m not saying he’s playing 16 games. He’s just the kind of guy who teams like the ‘new’ Chiefs sign. I think there’s an obvious connection.
Why do you think Peters is better than Remmers at this point? [Reply]

Oh I won’t even deny that, Remmers is a must keep already. But I’d much rather have him at RT.
But yeah, you keep him for sure unless he gets killed Sunday. [Reply]
So many variables to consider before you need to go after a 39 year old injury plagued left tackle that Philly fans want out of town. 1. Does Schwartz retire? 2. Does Fish have any chance at returning early in the year? 3. Remmers has been solid all year. What if he freaking takes JPP out of the game tomorrow and just dominates that matchup? 4. How high are they on Niang? 5. Does a cant miss day 1 starter at tackle fall to us in the draft? [Reply]

I’m not even saying he is. But you have a Hall of Fame lineman who openly admits he’s playing for a ring, knows the system and will be dirt cheap. We have no healthy players under contract and will need to add guys. I like Remmers much more at RT.
I probably created too much of a “click bait” title for the thread. I could see Peters being an early starter next year. That’s all I was saying. He’s going to be the kind of guy I see us signing. [Reply]

Oh yeah, this is all a factor.
I’m just saying, Andy loves veteran lineman. I just really think he ends up on this team and starts early. That’s all. [Reply]

I'll be SHOCKED if Rankins starts at LT. He is absolute DOG SHIT at Tackle. Ranked the WORST in the NFL when he did. He almost got Deshaun Watson killed on many occasions. We don't need Mahomes to be subjected to that shit tomorrow in any way, shape or form. Lord help us if true... [Reply]
Why does everyone think Fisher will be out an extended amount of time? Derrick Johnson tore his Achilles in December 2016 and was back to start opening day 2017. [Reply]
