No. Heck sucks ass.

Sure, if it all works out... But Thuney was an All Pro Guard. KC got much weaker at his spot. Is Kingsley the plan to replace him? He played one meaningless game at the position. I dont trust that guy to play anywhere. That whole side of the OL could be a work in progress.

Having said that, I like the signing. I think he was the best player available for what the Chiefs could realistically get.

Yeah, and we didn’t lock ourselves in with a desperate overpay situation. Which could have very easily happened.

The mere fact that he used the term "go balls to the walls" in a sentence in an actual interview is enough to convince me he is the one.

I wouldn’t call it meaningless. Denver was playing its starters and trying to win. He went up against Zach Allen most of the game and did really well. That’s not meaningless

He also did well against the Ravens in week 1. One game isn't a great sample size. But guard is an easier position for him to play hopefully. He can't be much worse than Caliendo.

You know, it wasn't really all that great. It was just one game, with nothing on the line. No real game plan or anything. It was just straight up blocking, he got beat a couple times, held his own I guess you could say. He really wasn't asked to do much except fill a space. And I guess he did that.

But man, if you want to go with that, playing next to a new LT, then ok. Im still very concerned with that whole left side of the line now, not just LT. Whereas last year, I was just concerned with LT at this time.

Boy, you nailed it completely there. ONE game. I think that's part of my problem with anyone siting his performance the last game of the season in Denver as some huge measuring stick...
And, Caliendo has / had no business playing the position, for any length of time, at this level. Surely, Kingsley's got to be better than that.

Will I didn’t say it was a big sample size or the end all be all. I was just saying it wasn’t meaningless. The broncos definitely schemed and went for the win.

But hate on!!

One game, yes, against one of the best IDL in NFL in Allen. That absolutely means something.

That’s what I’m saying. It’s not a big sample. But it wasn’t meaningless. The broncos definitely schemed and were playing for their playoff spot. Has the starters go the whole way. So not meaningless.

Is he better than Caliendo? Let’s start there.

I say he is. Let’s see how much better he can be from there.

WBF.

I don't think Tex is wrong to question Kingsley. He had some good reps in that Broncos game but seem pretty average ones too.

BUT, Nourzad looked pretty damn nice at center. I think that will be his best position but I honestly think if Kingsley flames out, Nourzad might be a really solid Plan B. That's why I'm a little less concerned. Obviously it would require them to not just go back to Caliendo, and there are some...odd, personnel decisions from the Chiefs at times. But I think the current roster can give us adequate at LG. And I say that as someone who would've rather kept Thuney and traded Smith.
