Backup. No way he starts with zero reps in TC.

So you want to change the entire offense?

No thanks.

I have no problem with him being a quality backup..

If something goes wrong once in a while, Mahomes is a magician at improvising. Shouldn't be a huge issue I wouldn't think.
Relying on Mahomes to be magic is how we ended up getting our ass kicked in the Super Bowl.

He IS magic, but that should not be your gameplan.

Or cut. We have plenty of depth without him and what good is he for depth if he's almost for sure going to get injured again.

There's still a decent chance that Long will get to play his part before the season is done. With a 17 game schedule, plus the playoffs, it's likely someone on the line will need an injury replacement. Maybe multiple folks again. Assuming Long can get back by midseason, he may still end up as a valuable card to be played.

I'm good with LDT and Smith battling this out for the starting RG spot. If I'm being totally honest, I never really believed Kyle Long would remain healthy enough to be in the lineup anyway. I just assumed it would happen sometime during the course of the season. smh

True. They really don't HAVE to do anything, he's on the cheap. So they have a ton of options and they're not really depending on him for anything, so it's still pretty much all upside.

Marcellus 06-10-2021 10:26 AM
He was a long shot to be a major contributor in the end anyway. Let him heal up and come back later in the season for depth if needed.

Guy is a fit……on LITR.

> < this close to cutting bait, and moving on.

We have been warned….we have a Watkins on the OL.

I didn't want Long because I figured this would happen. Fortunately, they didn't stop with Long and they still have plenty of competition. He can be let go gently so there's no reason to worry about this at all.
Yep. I always figured best case he'd be quality depth anyway. I never had him as a starter. And, if you think about it, he could be the guy who could fill in for a couple games here & there. That might be realistically all he can handle, before he starts breaking down. But, if he can play at a decent level, it's not a bad thing. You're right, him being hurt is a non issue.

Turdsnif needs to be replaced. I was hoping Long could hold it down till the youngun was ready.

If these guys are any good, he won't be running for his life. A play here and there? Maybe. All three of those guys have high marks coming out. Not developmental status.
