I MIGHT disagree with myself. I really have no idea.
The ability to unlock the entire playbook has been why I wanted to see Humphries grab the job. But if he hasn't (and I don't think he's seized it with both hands by any means) then I don't think we need to force the issue.
If Thuney at LT protects Andy from himself...well shit, maybe that's the best case scenario.

I think this is the correct analysis. As soon as he got the hamstring injury Humphries was a long shot for the playoffs.
Maybe he does ultimately offer the higher ceiling, but he really hasn't shown that, and probably never could once he lost that time. I just don't think they can bank on his past form to reappear. I'd be amazed if they don't go with Thuney.
Plus side, maybe he is a more affordable option next year now, with a full offseason and a chance for us to give him a fair chance to learn the offense and build some chemistry with the OL, maybe we'll see that higher ceiling yet.
