Yeah, they sadly crushed his mental with that dog shit gameplan vs. Hendrickson.

But I still remember Justin Houston EMBARRASSING Lane Johnson in his third career game to the tune of three sacks.

Now I don’t need nor expect Kingsley to become Lane Johnson, but it’d be cool as **** if he could be a top-15 LT. Orlando Brown level but in a different skill set.

Speaking of Brown, still can’t believe you tried to credit that horseshit field surface nonsense Eagles fans tried to spew since LVII. All Mahomes and co. did that night was abuse their secondary/LBs getting the ball out fast (corn dog was embarrassing), with a nice run game mixed in. Shoulda never been a surprise that the QB who broke the NFL yardage record that year gave them fits.

My argument is that starting LT’s are available via a trade, rather than just relying on UFA/the draft… which you just spent a lot of words agreeing with.

Almost never.

so no, not agreeing at all.

LMAO

Yea, teams trade away quality starting LTs every year!

It's just so absurd.

I mean, dude found 2 in like 30 years, so yeah, let's plan on THAT.

Two of the most successful LT’s for the Chiefs the past 25 years were veterans acquired via a trade.

Compare that same success rate with LT’s acquired via UFA and the draft.

What’s the success rate with finding starting quality LT’s in the draft?

Kingsley?

Wanya?

Enough said.

Dude, are you really this stupid?

Is that a non-answer?

who's your guy?

Who is this mythical trade target?

What team is willing to trade a good Left tackle?

NAME NAMES or shut up.

2 in 30 ****ing years.

Congratulations.

You really owned me on that one.

I’ve said it multiple times in this thread… Jake Matthews.

The Falcons are in serious salary cap trouble.

Penix is a left handed QB that doesn’t require the same investment in a LT, when they had right handed QB’s.

That is a trade opportunity.

Just like Willie Roaf.

Just like OBJ.

How many equally successful LT’s have the Chiefs acquired via the draft or UFA during that same time frame?

Eric Fisher.

That’s the list.

LMAO

You'd have to be in complete and total denial to not acknowledge that field played a significant factor.

Matthews base salary is $15m. It's $21m with restructures which...they would be responsible for. So he doesn't save them much over any starting salary offensive tackle.

This idea that you have that since Penix is left handed he doesn't matter is moronic. He still draws every team's RDE/rushbacker. He's a trusted veteran and they'd be stupid to trade him when he isn't all that much cap relief.

So no, I bet that will not happen.
