the ULTIMATE Jon Runyan thread. (Runyan in KC for a workout...)

[MMXcalibur]

This thread is a combination of the following 3 threads...

AUSTINCHIEF- *************************************
ok, I have mentioned before that I would love to see Runyan in KC...

I decided to start my own thread about it... because... well... I can.

So, here are my reasons why...

#1 all the obvious reasons... he is a pro bowler, proven player, definite upgrade, etc etc

#2 another fairly obvious one... Ndukwe would be better used at RG and this would let him move there.

#3 now we get to the good stuff... ON THE FIELD he is a nasty, mean, dirty S.O.B.

#4 OFF THE FIELD, he is a stand up guy, nice etc...

IF he can give us 2 solid years, he is well worth the investment until we can groom someone to replace him... MOST IMPORTANTLY he sets a perfect example of what our linemen of the future should aspire to be.

Runyan is ready to roll

As the regular season approaches, a guy who has been on the field every Sunday since 1997 still doesn't have a job.

But, by all indications, he will soon.

Per a league source, tackle Jon Runyan has been cleared to play after offseason microfracture surgery to repair an injured knee.

We're told that three teams are interested in Runyan. According to the source, Runyan rejected an opportunity to sign a contract last week because he didn't want to play for the team in question.

Oakland Raiders? We're looking at you.

Given the rule that guarantees a vested veteran's salary if he's on the Week One roster, look for Runyan to do a deal after the first games are played.

But if there are multiple teams in the mix, the one that's willing to step up and sign him now could be the one to get him.

Except for the Raiders.

I imagine we're one of the three teams that are interested, but were we the one team Runyan told to "**** off."?

If I were Runyan, I wouldn't be wild about coming to the Chiefs right now.

I don't know, a good RT could really make a huge difference in our season.

A good RT and a solid #2 WR would make a BIG difference in what this team can be.

Well it looked like Bradley was going to be our #2, and if he's healthy, I think some people are going to be in for a big surprise as far as our #2 WR goes.

[DBOSHO]

the article says it was the raiders who he rejected.

True. But I am not real confident in Goff, either. Need an upgrade at RG, too.

And a center.

I wonder who he rejected a deal from

We aren't far from being a decent offense. A good RT would be one of the final pieces we need to make that happen.

If he told us to **** off then **** him.

We are light years from being a decent offense.

Runyon might be a step in the right direction. The rest of the OLine is still pretty horrible.

Adding Runyon gives us how many wins?

Light years? No.

And a solid RT that solidifies the edge could give you as many as 3 or 4 more wins because now your quarterback can set up in the pocket and go through his reads and make better decisions. Football is generally a chain reaction and when you look at this teams biggest problem it's protection from the right side. It doesn't matter if you have Tom Brady back there if he's getting his ass kicked on every drop back.

A solid right tackle could be the difference from this team being 4-12 to 8-8.

You forget that Mark Castle has no one to throw the ball to.
