Oh, man.
Are you trying to suggest that's not a possible outcome?

The hell it isn't. He spent his entire rookie year at RT. He now has to learn how to play LT at the NFL level. He has to take the "learning" that he did last year of swapping everything and throw it out the window. The only bonus he will have will be a strength program for 1 year.

It was a horrible pick and they followed up with horrible moves. He was horrible for a large part of the year at RT but they're going to hand him the LT job.

If that screams "success" to you, I don't know what to tell you.
It tells me that they have faith in their pick, who is, by FAR, the most talented lineman on the roster.

Why should the plan change right now? They have the entire offseason, OTA's and TC to get him ready to play a position he played in college.

Have you seen Fisher play a snap at LT yet?

And you want to call me a moron?

Pffftttt.

Nope. But I've seen him play at RT and booooooooooy it wasn't pretty.

Drafting a T at 1.1 is enough of a waste as it is.
I'll take that over Chase Daniel starting.

So because one got to play the position he earned it and because someone else did not play the position at all, even though that is his natural position, doesn't deserve a chance to play the position that he was drafted to play.

If you're trying to "win now" - which Dorsey CLEARLY was trying to do last year with the moves they made - you don't hand the most important line position to a guy who hasn't proven he can handle it.

Especially when another guy on the roster has shown he can.

But nothing the Chiefs have done so far THIS offseason (or failed to do, to be more accurate) has indicated the team is still in win-now mode.

So of course the next thing they'll announce is a huge contract extension for Smith...

Pretty much every LT tackle taken high in the draft last year started at RT.

They are all slated to be LT sooner than later.

This isn't a new idea, they aren't reinventing the wheel here.

This is hilarious, you guys were bitching we had a 1.1 at RT and now you are bitching he is going to be LT.

He actually made steady improvement. The injury issues were a concern but that's not been his history.

Going from RT to LT isn't that big of deal. You guys are acting like he's gonna play defense now or something

Show me where I was bitching that he was going to play LT.

In fact....I think he should have played LT last year. Unfortunately they ****ed themselves by not getting rid of Albert.

I'm not saying he's junk. I'm saying leave his ass at RT until he is consistently better at LT than Stephenson.
