Whether you think it was or not, they're actions seem to say they feel it was/is.

He also got mangled in the Superdome this year and against the Bucs in the SB.

When they've played good defenses, they've kicked the OL's ass. Hence the offseason changes.

That play was a designed option run. There was no failure in protection, he would have been exposed no matter who was blocking.

Next years first and a third will get it done.

LMAO You did the same shit before they blew the OL to smithereens. "Guys, prepare to have Wylie be a starter next season. Veach won't use assets on the IOL. It's not going to happen."

You're conflating two different things.

Patrick needs better protection to make the offense more efficient. Yes.

Patrick injury issues have very little to do with the offensive line play, however.

He's getting injured primarily due to play calling and terrible luck. He lost 5 weeks with an injury that I've never seen happen before in 30+ years of watching football - on a QB sneak.

It also allows you to get a prospect you think can fill a spot for the foreseeable future.

A spot thats just under QB in terms of importance for this offense to operate.

You want to trade this year's 1st, next year's first, and next year's 3rd for a CHANCE at a starting LT?

I'm so glad you're not a GM.

And if that prospect fails or gets injured, you have no means to replace him.

Sounds like a solid plan.

Why pivot when you can just veer off into the ditch...

You don't think them calling sprint out options on 3rd and short have anything to do with the OL?

In case you haven't noticed, this team still doesn't have a left tackle and people are ****ing SCARED because of it.

This board is laughably emotional. It's like Twitter for old men.

Literally nobody is saying that. This is 100% a strawman.

If you say something stupid, and I call you out on it, then defend your argument. I didn’t just call you stupid. I pointed out things like the Rams and Veach’s drafts, and you didn’t do a very good job of defending either. You actually ignored the part about the Rams, probably because it’s true and you don’t want to defend it.

And yes, saying you’re prepared for the Chiefs to take a step back in March when they aren’t even remotely done is ****ing stupid and defeatist attitude.

That doesn’t mean I want this place to be an echo chamber. I want you to be able to say your stupid shit. I didn’t say you shouldn’t be allowed to. If I cared that much, I’d put you on ignore.

Do you think them calling QB sneaks does?

Yeah. I'd imagine our GM would as well.

Stop overvaluing the end of the first round picks.

You sound like the old "don't trade up for a QB, it's too risky" guys here man.

If they evaluate and think the LT is worth it, go for it. The value of having that spot locked down is worth more than those picks.

Two decades and running strong of "what just happened will now happen forever if we don't do something about it!"
