Regardless of how long he has been playing …the NFL could decide it’s not right and make the Chiefs lives miserable with penalties. The question was if an adjustment couldn’t be made acceptably (by the NFL) what do we do? That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. Stop reading into things.

I thought we were supposed to be having a level headed discussion? Why couldn't he make the necessary adjustments, why is that even a question?
Here is some data for you from his career. (stolen from an Athletic article)

Taylor’s struggles a surprise
The Jaguars’ 2019 second-round pick yielded a 3.3 percent pressure rate and one sack during Weeks 14-18 last season. The average rate for tackles sat at 5.5 percent during that span, so Taylor kept Trevor Lawrence well-protected. Taylor should be doing the same for Patrick Mahomes.
And even though this is more about the stretch run of last season, just one more set of numbers to prove Taylor’s significance and improvement. Taylor’s 2.5 percent pressure rate allowed last season ranked fourth among all tackles (left or right), continuing a trend of steady growth. Here’s a look at Taylor’s pressure rates over the past three seasons:
2020: 8.0 percent (fifth worst among tackles)
2021: 4.8 percent
2022: 2.5 percent
So his struggles through two weeks have been a bit baffling. — Holder
