Chiefs *****The Lucas Niang Thread***** - Page 9

I hope he checked with Chiefs fans to see if it was okay that he protested and that he checked off all the protocol to make sure it was the right kind of protest!

ZERO sacks allowed in college and only 3 penalties.

He can organize all the protests he wants as far as I'm concerned.

We Niang to step-up big in his 1st year. Especially if LDT stays in Canada to treat COVID-19. We'll have needs at both guard positions.

Welp - Niang is taking a medical redshirt. Hopefully dude spends a year getting stronger, learning, and comes into '21 as a beast.

If he is truly a replacement for a starting OT spot, then pushing his future extension a year isnt a bad thing. Total unknown though, obviously.

I wonder if he'll get viewed as a Breeland Speaks type for opting out.

Long-term it's probably a good thing. It puts him on a cleaner timeline for potentially replacing Fisher or Schwartz if we can't re-sign one of them. It also gives him another year to get healthy from the labrum issue.

But that OL is getting thin in a hurry...

He’s a loser & quitter. I’d cut his ass next year.

Him abandoning his team is a big red flag.

Did he have a reason? I know Williams opted out because of something like his mom having cancer.

Does it matter? According to the last few posts, everybody has already made up their minds about Niang because he chose to opt out.

Now I REALLY hope he turns out to be the next Willie Roaf. So I can have fun bumping these posts years into the future.

Not going to completely blast the guy, but I also don't have much faith in him. More confident in Yasir Durant doing something going forward.

Both of you are beyond fucking stupid. Niang had a very serious injury this year and wouldn't have even been ready to practice until late this year.

Him opting out was the best possible scenario for the Chiefs because he not only is allowed to heal without any pressure, the Chiefs have him for 4 full years, not 3 years, as they would have had if he hadn't opted out.

Why? What have you seen on video that makes you think it was a poor decision to draft him?

Was going to post this. The other two opt outs were totally understandable, but this one was actually GOOD for the team. I guess people are just having emotional reactions to the Schwartz news.
