I don't understand why the bar for Humphries is HIGHER than Thuney for some people.
Folks, we aren't benching Thuney here. We're moving the best LG in football back to LG. The bar for doing that shouldn't be any higher than 'not obviously worse at LT' because we will be orders of magnitude better at LG if we make that move.

Guards dont really matter. Interior offensive line doesn't really matter for a passing team.
LT is just such a premium position comparatively. If Thuney is your best LT, you use Thuney at LT even if it makes you dogshit at G. Also this decision will be up to Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes isn't going to tell the coaching staff he wants the guy who's barely played with him to be his LT in the playoffs.
Best case scenario is we blow out the Texans in the first half, move Humphries in 2nd half and he also balls out thrn maybe Mahomes will be comfortable. I simply just don’t think Mahomes is going to allow anyone but Joe Thuney to be his backside protection this year. Right or wrong.
