Taylor has played his ENTIRE career at right tackle

Smith has played his ENTIRE career at left tackle

Taylor and Smith are clearly going to be the two best tackles on our roster. Yeah though lets switch em up and not let either guy play at their natural position with YEARS of experience. ****ing MORON!

Donovan smith sucks

Hes not at all. He's just sticking his fingers in his ear like a child.

But they weren't as good as Wylie. That's the point. They could be a downgrade and don't let the SB cloud things, Wylie was bad all year. I personally would prefer we upgrade from Wylie, not downgrade.

He was a nice value signing until he had to start in the SB :p

I am. I just don't see why anything would change. He's moving to a system that is notoriously difficult on OTs and is undoubtedly harder than blocking for Brady and his constant dumpoffs.

Umm you need to get your memory checked because he was basically the Chiefs starting RT that year and turned out to be a blessing when Schwartz went down.

He could be Remmers or he could be Jah Reid I don't see what the big deal is he's maybe the starting right tackle or a backup LT with years of experience

Yup. Until the SB and he made the move to LT. That's why this signing could be pretty decent. If Taylor were to go down it would be nice to have a backup that has proven to be solid at LT to fill in.

In '17-'19 he was pass blocking for the dumbest, ball holdingest QB in the league and was just fine. With a HC who uses his OTs very much like Reid does.

There is just no reason to write him off out of the chute.

The entire OL fell apart. Still doesn't change the fact that he was a very valuable signing.

Yup, he's 29. I could see if he were old and fell off a cliff last year, but he's still young enough to get back on track after a bad year.

Yeah having to be perfect against speed rushers bc your 45 year statue of a QB isn’t what he was anymore is forcing you to play perfect. And even then he was solid in pass pro.

I’m sure Mahomes does nothing for his tackles to help them or make them look better. Nope not at all. We didn’t see any of that last year.

Good God dude take a cannabis chewie and calm the **** down.

Fact. You dont know that.
You said Wylie was one of the worst. Chiefs were 14-3. Im not a Wylie fan. Glad he played well in the playoffs.

These guys can be bad too. So they are worse than one of the worst? If you are suggesting they are that bad then they should not be on the roster.

20 million is left tackle money and preferable proven left tackle money.

So I like Veach. He is exceptional but not perfect. If he signed this guy Smith and is supported then the other guys he has on the roster should also be supported. Do you think KC keeps guys that are worse than the one of the worst? I dont.

He's a former 2nd rounder (so strong pedigree) who started as a rookie and for the first 7 years of an 8 year career was never anything less than a solid starting caliber LT.

And despite all that, and based on a deal we know NOTHING about, we have people wanting to lambast the signing by saying it's a given he'll suck and yet still trigger every guarantee.

Well - at least we know who this seasons whipping boy is gonna be. Fair or otherwise...
