Have we ever considered that Lucas Niang is a figment of our imaginations?
I think we're looking at this Niang situation all wrong, personally. At least those of us even aware of his "existence."
Personally, I've spent the entirety of his rookie contract so far waiting for him to make an impact, to be the right tackle this team needs, but mostly just to get off PUPs and IRs and make a damn difference for this team. But something occurred to me. It's entirely possible we just collectively made him up? You know the saying that if God didn't exist, mankind would make him up? I think that's what we've done with Niang. We all wanted a decade-long starter at right tackle who never gave up a sack in college, and we somehow wanted this talent in the third round. So we just manifested his existence. But it turns out that's the limit of our collective imagination, because while we can collectively imagine him, we can't actually create him. And so we have to spend seasons with Mike Remmers and Andrew Wylie and Gerod Christian at the spot. I'm not even sure we selected him in the third round? I mean, was anybody actually there? I think we've got this situation all wrong, guys. Lucas Niang is basically Harvey the six foot tall invisible rabbit. TL;DR: I don't think Niang is a real person. |

Its stunning to find myself rooting for Andrew Wylie at RT
At this point he is out best bet for the season. I think he will be fine. And if God forbid he gets banged up, I'm hoping that Kinnard, despite not looking good in camp, surprises us if pressed into the starting line up. I guess we just have to trust Reid and the Front Office. |

It's all a Clinton Portis scam against the NFL pension and health care system.

Rain Man already diagnosed this situation as Bob Sanders syndrome

I once met a man whose sister claimed that her neighbor went to an NFL game and saw Bob Sanders play. She said that he was playing running back for the Lions at the time.

Naing is exactly the guy I thought he would be when we drafted him. No figment of any imagination.

Hot take: Wylie was surprisingly decent at RT last year. I don’t mind him playing there

I agree with this assessment. While Wylie is widely panned on this forum, he was nowhere near the liability he was often scapegoated to be. He’ not all pro material, but he’s solid, versatile, reliable, and doesn’t bring drama. It’s hard to not root for a guy like that. I wish Chiefsplanet were as drama free as Andrew Wylie.
