Now they're ironically bringing in Humphries, who also has an injury history.

Yep. 6 million guaranteed with incentives that could push it up to 20 million almost entirely earned by a percentage of snaps played.

They lost their #1 WR (who was looking like he may have been a legit top 5 WR this year) their #2 WR and their #1 Rb all in the first month of the season.

We've discussed that all before but shit....if that happened to say...the Ravens or the Eagles, do we think they're sitting at 11-1?

They've won back to back SB's and are the 1 seed thru 12 games in a 3 peat season, with some catastrophic injuries. Guys are coming back. Just gotta see how it plays out.

As smart as this team is, I still wonder about how we miss on guys we can see in practice like Toney, Skyy, or Kingsley.

We've ALWAYS utilized deep sets. At least since Mahomes took over. That was the biggest worry with Orlando Brown Jr -- did he have the feet to make those deep sets work? That's not a 'weakness' of Taylor, it's a necessity in this offense. He HAS to get back out of his stance and take a deep set.

I won't say an inability to deal with that is a real indictment of Smith necessarily, just another example of him not being an ideal fit here. He just isn't. Thuney doesn't struggle to keep that outside shoulder protected despite having a MUCH worse OT alongside him and dealing with similar problems. Thuney, to this day, is probably the best pass-blocking OG in the league.

Thuney is a dream scenario in terms of skill sets and scheme fit. Smith just isn't.

For reference.

How to not hold it against BV? He constantly overpays the wrong players that end up underperforming substantially relative to their contracts. Or just flat out overpays relative to market, like Creed Humphrey. Creed and his agent damn near raped BV.

The worst part is the average fan would recognize this before the fact. Before they even played a down as a Chief. That it was not good value for contract and/or picks traded. Frank Clark, Jawaan, MVS, etc. Even the likes of Justin Reid and Joe Thuney were overpays. And I'm sure Noah Gray could have been had for less.

I think we will know based on who they have active on Sunday. If Morris is active, then I think he's the backup.

Honestly? I think they'll call up Donovan Smith if they have to.

I think Mahomes is DONE with Morris at LT and consequently, right or wrong, the KC staff will be too.

Gotta keep the Franchise happy.

Which is understandable.

What is not understandable is why the Chiefs entered this season with only Wanya Morris as a back-up option if Kingsley wasn’t ready.

It's pretty obvious they thought they were going to get more out of Wanya in year 2 than what they have so far. It was a miscalculation for sure.

Frank Clark issue was we traded draft capital too.

Jawaan was market value.

Reid is a fine contract.

MVS was overpaid but by a few million. He was a 5 million player that they paid 10-11 to.

You cannot even spell rerun properly.

You have Jawaan and Creed as significant overpays, to start. And Thuney received a massive contract at that time, as well. WTF.

Yep. From all accounts it sounds like it was either/or between Smith and Humphries.

Do we even have an offensive line coach or did Andy hire some 30 year old intern like he did the kid who coaches the WRs?

It's a filter you ****ing noob. I'm calling you a R-E-T-A-R-D.

Everybody has to overpay you butt****ing moron. If you want a GM that never overpays go be a fan of the ****ing Indianapolis Colts and Chris Ballard. Sounds like more your speed.
