History will be the same for this Chiefs dynasty.

Now that said, there is a difference between being average and being total ass. Mahomes has had decent to good LT play with Fisher, Brown, and Smith. None of those players were bad. Wanya would easily be the worst LT we've hard during this run. But it's still doable to win this season with him and Kingsley splitting snaps. Just need them to improve and hold their own. They can't get totally dominated by opposing edge rushers.

Yeah, but Tom Brady had more stability at Left Tackle than Mahomes has been experiencing the last 4 years. Brady had the same dude in New England for 10+ years. The next guy was there for 6 years as well. Mahomes has had 4 different dudes at Left Tackle in the last 3 seasons. That is not sustainable. Every other good offense in the league right now has a high quality veteran left tackle. Baltimore, Cincy, Buffalo, Detroit, etc.

I really hope the Chiefs can stabilize the situation and quit the constant revolving door we've been seeing at the LT position. Either Wanya or Kingsley needs to be the long term answer.
