You are so fucking dumb it’s impossible to even argue with you.

You don’t get it. Like at all.

They. Can. Still. Circle. Back. To. Fisher.

Nothing has changed. They still need a day 1 LT either way. Cutting Fisher at least allowed them to go after Williams and sign guys like Thuney and Reed.

That's a pretty good plan on paper, and one in which I've explicitly endorsed. Literally, I mean, down to the players and draft picks.

I do think Ingram walking out on the Chiefs a couple weeks back suggests you're going to have trouble with squaring that circle, financially.

I am in fact hoping that Fisher will be at least 90% by January.

But I think that's reasonable.

I assume you agree with me that Okung would be a good stopgap LT. What are the odds he makes it to January, do you think?
[Reply]

based on what, but your emotional gut reaction?

This is my point exactly.

Your takes on all of these situations are entirely just emotional and not based on any logic at all.

60-70% which is why I’m drafting a LT in the first two rounds and getting him ready for Week 8 or after.

Fisher isn't coming back.


Zero chance.

I think he's looking to see if he can get more money.

Will he?

There's a reason these guys are still out there; the money being offered isn't what they thought it would be. And it wasn't a couple of weeks back, it was literally LAST week. This is also my point-you're having emotional reactions that are clouding your judgement.

First of all, it's likely the Chiefs have told Fisher he's not going to be a Chief, which is why he posted his IG message.

But even aside from that, something has changed. We had exclusive control of him. Now we don't: we have already banked once this offseason that we can outbid all comers for a LT, and it didn't work out. It's not unthinkable that could happen again. 31 other teams have access to him now.

Brett Veach.

Reasonable.

Who knows.

Bringing Fisher back mid-season is probably plan C. Nobody's going to go into a bidding war for a guy in a cast that may or may not be able to play in 2021.

And as for trusting what Veach has said about it-yeah, he said it and then cut Fisher and Schwartz a couple of days later. He's not going to tip his hand. Why would he?

Plan A for LT is almost certainly to sign a veteran stop-gap for day one and draft a LT somewhere in those first 3 rounds. It's a deep draft for that position, and that's a perfectly reasonable spot to be in for September.

Plan A for DE is almost certainly the same; sign a vet to man it day one, draft a guy with some upside to develop. Also a perfectly reasonable place to be.

Plan A for WR is more than likely going to be a late cap cut and to draft a couple of guys to develop. If we're taking Veach as his word, he said as much in February. That's also not a terrible place to be; we went all of 2020 with mostly Drob/Pringle/Hardman and went 14-1 and won a couple of play-off games that way.

Year two of CEH with an actual camp should get him more involved in the entire offense and utilize his receiving abilities. An actual camp should help Hardman, too.

The vastly improved interior OL is going to pay dividends in multiple facets.

It's April 1st.

I'm curious as to what the plans are, but I'm not worried. Veach has shown he's aggressive and I'm sure things will look fine September first.

shhhh....don't spoil it

It's early. For sure.

But it's not hard to read the tea leaves to see that there aren't really any options left out there atleast ones we know about.

FA for a LT is pretty sparse and the draft puts is in a tough spot to get one.

Hey at least you can always fall back on the "homer defense".

Nevermind that you've been presented plenty of information and evidence.

But yeah, they're just being homers. You're the only realist here.
