Have we ever considered that Lucas Niang is a figment of our imaginations?

[Direckshun]

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.

It's not like Prince Tangowhatever showed much in relief of Wiley. Dude got pushed around and was on skates.

CP just has such a hard on for replacing Wylie that they saw whatever they wanted to see.

But availability is a skill and Wylie has him beat in that category by a country mile.

Wylie isn't coming out unless he's hurt.. period.

It’s a balance between having a guy that’s physically superior that is a more impactful player and a player with inferior physical traits but is more mentally aware snd prepared to do what the coaches ask.

As a fan, it’s very frustrating at times, but to an extent I understand why coaches do it.

I get it in most cases. I understood it with Sorensen, he always seemed to make enough big plays to make up for his gaffs. Somewhat with Neimann, just because there weren't any better options and he was at least always around the ball.

Wylie, however, is absolute garbage and shouldn't even have been allowed back on this roster after what he allowed to happen to Mahomes in that Super Bowl. Everyone likes to pretend Andy Reid has no flaws, and I will admit he has very few, but he does play favorites in certain instances. That's clearly what's happening here.

It is what is, I just hope to God in heaven the useless shithead doesn't get Mahomes killed. It will be on Andy if he does.

Lmfao, and when exactly is he “healthy “?

I would hope not, but….

in 360 pass block snaps, Niang has given up 2 sacks and 2 QB hits.

In 459 pass block snaps this year, Wylie has given up 6 sacks and 4 qb hits.

So, 1 in 90 pass attempts Niang allowed his QB to get hit

Wylie gets his QB hit almost twice as much.

So it seems production matches my opinion/take.

The defense for Wylie around here is really strange. The dude is utter trash. There is no other team in football on which he would be allowed to start at tackle. He doesn’t belong there, and the stats you just referenced prove it. Those doesn’t even include the number of times Mahomes has saved his worthless ass with his Houdini act.

Nah there was a pretty good breakdown done on his play he had help almost every single snap. They were apparently very worried about him.

He really didn’t play that well.

I'd like to see that, because I watched him every play for most of a quarter after they put him in and what I saw was less and less help as it went on, and I thought he did just fine. I looked around Youtube and couldn't find anything.

I don't think that's even remotely true.
