If Robinson-Kingsley-Creed-Smith-Taylor isn't a good enough OL for your QB to produce, the problem is your QB.

That's all I care about at this point. Making the line good enough. Worse quarterbacks than Mahomes have performed with lines that aren't that good. Mahomes won a SB with a line that wasn't that good.

There isn’t a lockdown guy out there. Maybe they meet in the middle and go with Jaylon.

One thing I’m pretty sure of, no one here is gonna be happy.

We cannot continue to act like it's imperative that we build a super-line for our $50 million quarterback. That line, with Robinson, should absolutely be a steady enough OL for Mahomes to be the force multiplier his talent and his contract says he should be.

Beyond that nets diminishing marginal returns - QUICKLY.

I get it, and don’t disagree with your premise.

I just wonder if Veach thinks he can get “good enough” from DJ at a super low dollar amount versus Cam at what could be 5x (or more) that.
