I get it to some extent... he's already going to be aggressive and scramble when needed and you may need him to run it in from the 1, the offensive line sucks and he may take a shot at any time,, etc.... so why not save him so to speak for those moments and not add another layer of risk with designed plays.
OTOH, I don't remember anyone complaining about QB sneaks until he got hurt, and now people act there's a 100% chance of him getting hurt if he does it again.... and now it'll be the same for those option plays, like he's turned into a china cabinet overnight because he's been injured and unavailable for all of like 3.5 games over 3 seasons. Reid's won a SB and has now reached CG weekend for like the 14th time or something.... not sure how much I'd want him second guessing and using the 2nd best option and playing it safe. The added risk of +1 or 2 hits just isn't significant enough, and the fact that he got hurt once probably reduces the chances that it will keep happening (unlike popular belief here, which seems to be a low chance thing happening means it'll happen a 2nd and 3rd and 4th time). |

Of course, it's also possible that Andy has been setting it up to use a sneak in a key situation soon, so if that's the case, I'm on board. |

What Andy could be doing, and maybe he's trying and just not succeeding, is improve the O-line. It's strange to have a $500,000,000 asset PMII protected by an O-line like this.

They're in the AFCCG for the 3rd year in a row. They'll address to offensive line to be sure but it won't likely be the overhaul everybody wants. |

I'm in the minority I guess but I wouldn't be upset if we squashed the option stuff or atleast very rarely used it.
Let Pat make plays with his legs and moving around to throw the ball, fine. But he's just too important to take the risks IMO. I understand both sides of the argument, but to me, I want him in the pocket as much as possible. |

I just think it's silly to believe you can keep him from getting hit sometimes. We've taken away the sneak. People want to take away the option now. Might as well remove the scramble. And then teams will just know he's gonna sit back there in the pocket, and he'll inevitably take a big hit back there and get hurt. You just can't protect him in all situations. |

I get that people think the offensive line is more important than the Chiefs apparently do but I side with the Chiefs. They should probably spend a couple of mid-to-late draft picks there this year - they haven't drafted anybody but Alligretti since 2016 in any round (Parker Ehringer in the 4th). The Chiefs M.O. is to bargain shop in free agency. Just in the last 3 or 4 years you have Osemele, Wisnewski, Remmers, Rankin, Reiter, and Kilgore plus Wylie was a UDFA IIRC. |

Once he's out running around, he's just susceptible to getting hit. 3 years in now, he's been hurt 3 times. He can't keep that up. It get it's a sport that injuries just happen in so there will always be a risk. |

But for real, the OL needs some juice in the middle. It's just time. It's been slowly fading in there for a few years and theuy've patched it together. I'm not thrilled about giving a G spot to a guy who hasn't played in a year either. |
