Those fears have been put to rest.
Since we've seen the entire offense level up and literally get better with each passing game Thuney is at LT, I can't see a chance in living hell they are suddenly going to switch it up in the playoffs when Mahomes will have played all of one half with Humphries at LT. Could he be fine doing so? Absolutely, he's Pat. However, Thuney has proven he can handle the job and the rest of the line has made it work with him over there, and Pat looks more comfortable than he has in quite some time.
I think there's literally zero chance Humphries is starting in the playoffs, but I do think they'll try to keep him for next year. That makes the most sense the way things stand now.

If I was a betting man, this would absolutely be my bet. Something works well enough, the offense clearly improves as a result...I don't think they change that that quickly. Next year, yep, seems possible
