They were lying to keep people from thinking they were gonna draft an LT. They worked out ten LT's before the draft. Then drafted Morris and signed Smith soon after. They were never gonna play Taylor at LT imo.

You said he has never taken a snap at LT. He also started two games in college at LT.

Again talking in absolutes just so you can be right will make you look foolish

Yeah. This idea didn’t come out of nowhere. The Chiefs brass made it clear they saw Taylor as a potential LT from Day 1.

I suppose we can hope Humphries would go for a 1 year prove it deal, but if the choice is between Cam Robinson or LT Taylor/McDuffie, you at least have to think about it if Taylor can be at least Donovan Smith from the left side.

Lol ER wrong again. I clearly stated above that there is no record of him playing LT REGULARLY!!. 18 emergency snaps in four years is not regular but nice try .

And can you provide the proof that he played "two games at LT" in college? Even if that was true. 18 snaps and two college games in his entire career is still virtually nothing. Fullstop.

In my perfect world, Humphries looks rock solid the rest of the way this season and comes back on a two year deal

That affords Kingsley plenty of time to grow into the role, and then we're golden for a 5-10 years at LT

Since making that comment they...

1. Drafted Morris
2. Signed Smith
3. Drafted Kingsley
4. Signed Humphries
5. Moved Thuney to LT and not Taylor

So if those comments were true, why have they not played Taylor at LT yet and chose all them other options instead? Folks need to do the maths. They see Taylor at practice every single day and never once tried him at LT. So why would they start now?

This makes sense. Humphries is in no position to demand top dollar imo. I think if he holds up well fot the rest of this season the two parties can come up with a fair deal and then we can let Kingsley develop behind the scenes. Hell, he might be an option for RT one day just like Morris tbh.

Maybe our secret weapon?

That might be something to look at

I would say it is promising but I wouldn't want to look to have Morris playbthere instead of Taylor. No way in hell.

Yeah Humphries will have to be reasonable, his recent history pretty much demands it

But I'm not down with Kingsley as RT, they drafted him for the left and they need to just make it work... Heck needs to coach his ass off and really earn his paycheck on this

I’m at the point where I’m ready for Heck to develop someone like this. He’s been on a bit of a losing streak when it comes to development of OL projects.

Thats no shit, Heck needs a big win with Suamataia... getting him ready would solve everything else, every other O line spot should be easy to figure out once LT is locked down for 5+ years

Nope you said “No experience “

Talking in absolutes continue to bite your making shit up to be right, wrong again

I know reading isn’t your strong suit but it’s in the same article I already posted. You can do this Buddy. We believe in you

Lol yeah 18 snaps means he's a proven vet there. And no doubt Justin Reid is an "experienced" NFL kicker too that should have replaced Butker when he got hurt
