If DJ plays, it's because they think he can. If they stay with Thuney, it's because they think that's the best option. There's literally nothing here to worry about. Unless you don't have faith in Andy and his staff. There really isn't an argument to be had. You either trust this team or you don't.
And that's where all this Thuney talk is coming from. Fear and a lack of trust.

Exactly. We didn't bring this dude in to sit. Everyone is in awe of Thuney at LT being pretty much the floor for the position. Don't give up instant kills on Mahomes that Wanya and Kingsley were doing. If you're gonna get beat die slowly.
Thuney dies slow enough at LT that Pat has an actual opportunity to throw, but it's definitely not pretty.
It's impressive because he's a guard making that switch. But he's not Willie Roaf out there. Kingsley and Wanya were so ****ing terrible that he looks like Roaf by comparison.
DJ should be able to easily replicate what Thuney has done at LT, which is give us the floor production of a starting left tackle.
Thuney moving back to LG, where he's one of the best in the world, helps the entire line out.
