Chiefs sign Jaylon Moore 2 yrs $30M

[-King-]

The LT position the past year is kind of funny

We drafted a player that sucked so bad we had to replace him with his backup. The backup got injured and sucked so we replaced him with a street FA. The street FA got injured and sucked so bad we had to replace him with our LG. And our LG while playing admirably for being out of position was so bad we signed a free agent LT for 2 years 30mil. And now people are making plans for if he also sucks.

They were wrong on Kingsley’s ability to play LT. Sometimes that just happens and you only wind up in the SB rather than winning the SB.

Kinda funny indeed.

My point is to the people thinking they should/will go OT first round and the rumors coming out that that's what they're going to target.

I'm fine with what they have now. I'd like to see Moore get a full year before we draft his replacement. And I don't think we need to redshirt a RT for if Moore's good and we need a replacement for Taylor.

I think people saying that are being lazy in their analysis.

Seems obvious since we clearly had problems in the super bowl, but it's not that easy.

Shit happens.

I don't think everyone here is appreciative of just how difficult it is to play Left Tackle in the NFL at an above average level. It's really, really hard. Those guys are not easy to find, and almost impossible when you're drafting from a Super Bowl slot every year.

The FIRST time the OL screwed us in a Super Bowl, BOTH of our very good offensive tackles (including a former #1 overall pick) got hurt during the season. (Fisher in the AFCCG). Schwartz retired, and Fisher tried to come back but never played meaningful football again. Both were what...31?

I don't think it's fair to criticize the front office or coaching staff for that.

You could argue that they should have had a better plan C last year, but really, how many teams have a great plan C?
