I think a lot of the backlash is based on the fact that we want to see this team as far along in the rebuilding as possible. If Albert can hold down the LT we've already got a key player and are therefore farther along in the process, but if he ends up not being able to the team is set back practically a whole year from a drafting standpoint. I think the dude is just a realist.

Albert isn't setting any team back a full year in rebuilding. Saying this makes Okung look like he's the best LT talent to come out in the last 10 years, which is hilarious.
A lot of the backlash is because the dude is a moron. It has nothing to do with the Chiefs rebuilding.
His takes are on the RoyR scale of excellence.
Albert isn't setting back any process a year. He is in the 2nd year in a new system, lost way too much weight in my opinion, and now we want to throw him to the wolves. This is exactly the same type of panic move that has constantly set this team back to the point where we have shit on this roster.
This team has far too many holes to worry about moving a player who has shown signs of being really good at the LT position to draft another one and move Albert elsewhere. Not to mention the fact that Russell Okung is not an elite prospect. We have zero idea whether or not he'd be an upgrade to Albert at the pro level. Albert is not going to be a LG with Brian Waters on the roster, so where does he play then?
This draft is loaded at playmakers at key positions we can upgrade and we are discussing drafting a replacement for a player, who one year ago, was viewed as a dominant LT for the future?
That's complete nonsense. He's the absolute only one who thinks Albert played like shit all year. That should tell you something.
