His rookie year? He was hardly on the field due to Lilja.

If he were healthy, he'd be doing exactly that.

Whatever.
He's on his third team in three years playing for league minimum for a reason.
He's a fine backup and spot player but he should not be starting, especially for the Chiefs.

Which is exactly why he should be a backup. He's a utility "spot" guy, not a strong starter.
Also, please explain why the running lane between Schwartz and Hudson were virtually non-existent on Sunday.
