Drafting Simmons would require signing Tyron Smith/similar veteran LT as a veteran stopgap.

Andy has got to put his pride away and take advantage. Perfect example is the Broncos. They had the best pass rushing unit in football leading the league in sacks and pressures. Their one flaw was undersized DL. Bonitto and Cooper were 250 lbs and Zack Allen/John-Franklin Myers were 280 lbs.

The Bills recognized that huge disparity in size and just bullied the **** out of them running the ball down their throat and moving their smaller DL at will at will all day.

We are too one dimensional. That’s a major part of our asswhooping. These teams do not respect our run game at all. They know Andy doesn’t want to do it and they know we aren’t good at it, so they pin their ears back and rush the same as if they have a lead.
Andy watching our QB and OL struggle badly immediately and not even bothering to run the ball until the 12th offensive play of the game is full proof of this.

Not saying we should convert to a run first offense by any means, but we need to be 2 dimensional. We need to be able to run the ball well when needed which will open up play action.

We also need to help our QB. We can’t keep putting everything on him with little help.

No it wouldn’t. Rosenhaus already said he’d be a full go by camp. If you’re trading assets to move up for him he’s damn well starting week 1. You don’t move up for a project.

LMAO Again, who the **** has said Mahomes has to have an absolutely stacked roster to be effective? We just need his tools to not be completely ****ing useless like certain aspects have been in 23 and 24.

It’s an opinion for sure

You said “completely useless”

So that’s worst in the league territory. No?

Or the team needs to do what other teams are doing. Void Years to stack the roster. Fighting with one arm tied behind your back. Other teams pay their QB's big money, big money receivers, big money RB's, big money OL, big money defense. Void Years all over the place. KC is damn near last in the league on Void Year usage.

Well for one, you don’t have to run the ball to be successful with play action.

But second and more importantly, we have Patrick Mahomes. We need to throw the ball…..a lot.

So figure out what he needs to get comfortable in the pocket and not freak out.
