In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him? [Reply]

They could have backed off one of those moves and saved cap room down the road if they didn't have a plan to spend it.
That doesn't mean they're signing another FA OL starter (Reiff, Villanueva, David Andrews, Russell Okung, Nick Martin). There are lots of different ways this could go.
Plan A didn't work out. Doesn't mean Plan B = an OL that is as bad as the one in the Super Bowl. [Reply]

Reiter was a sieve. C'mon man, this place was cursing his name all season. Jesus, they even benched his ass for a game.
We're trying to pass off serviceable JAGS as good enough now.
No dudes, i don't think that's what Veach had in mind when deciding to rebuild the line.
If the argument is, "Hey, as long we got some warm bodies, we'll be fine", ok...i guess. But that's not what i had in my head.
I'm sure the Chiefs can throw warm bodies out there and hte offense will still perform at a playoff level. But i thought the standard was higher than that. [Reply]

A decent LT is gonna drop to us imo as not many teams are LT needy. If an LT with a similar grade to Niang makes it to 31 then why shouldn't they be able to start? It's scary but if we could get a vet like Okung too for insurance then i'm all for it. Having two young tackles on the cheap would be massive for this team moving forward. [Reply]

why don't we wait and see before we start bitching is all I'm saying. [Reply]

Shut up!
The conversation started about people being "butthurt" over the Chiefs signing a skill player. I stated that the media won't care, as they'll focus on our lack of protection. They'd probably even throw shade at teh Chiefs for seemingly neglecting the position.
Hence my comment about public perception and narrative.
If you werent a fucking dumbass and followed along you wouldn't have made such a pointless post. [Reply]

But they had cleared it all before hand for that is all I’m saying.
They will pivot for sure. We’ll just have to see what happens but there’s zero chance they trot out a shit ol [Reply]

Again with the public perception. Who fucking cares! Grow some thicker skin. [Reply]
