Put Orlando Pace at LT on Sunday and the offense would've still been bad. And that's been the case several times this season.
Nobody is arguing that the LT play has been elite or even good. More often than not this season I think it's been slightly below average.
What I've been saying at least is that many folks (you loudly among them) are making this issue FAR simpler than it is. There's a lot going wrong with this offense and despite a pretty solid day from Morris last weekend (and Nagy dialing up many plays that SHOULD'VE worked), the offense was as bad as it's been all year.
CPs favorite whipping boys are maybe 1/3 of the problem right now.

When in the **** have I ever said the LT position is the only problem? There's plenty of other reasons why this offense and Mahomes aren't anywhere near where they should be.
Obviously, injuries are chief amongst them, but even taking that into account the on field personnel rotations are ****ing shitty right now. Guys like Watson and Steele shouldn't be taking nearly the amount of snaps they have been.
Mahomes deserves a pretty fair amount of criticism as well. Plenty of other QBs function just fine in this situation, and he's got enough support that he shouldn't be devolving into a complete pumpkin for large stretches at a time.
But again, these issues do largely correlate to bad OL play. Offense looked just fine against the Ravens. Get to the Bengals game, Suamataia absolutely shits himself, and Mahomes regressed to an absolutely horrible standard of play for literal weeks. Even before Rice got hurt, this offense looked ****ing horrible against the Bengals, Falcons, and Chargers, and Mahomes was out there making some of the worst throws of his career, which has unfortunately became a bit of a trend this season.
