Because he's not going anywhere this year. So let's hope for the best.

And yet in the clip that's posted above you, he isn't taking a vertical set at all.
We looked into this 'vertical set' thing from Schwartz about 8 weeks ago when he first said it and it was just goofy then and it's kinda goofy now.
Yes, he goes back deep on his sets. Because we work from the shotgun and Mahomes takes deep drops. Brown DIDN'T do that and people killed him for THAT. For 2 years we complained that OBJ wasn't getting back in his set and now that Taylor does we complain about that.
So much so that we even blame the failures of other players on it. Now that Taylor does do it, people blame Smith struggling on him. And when you go to the tap on it and Smith's just getting bullied backwards, people just ignore it and go back to "Taylor takes deep sets!".
Bottom line is that folks will NEVER be happy with the OTs here because nobody bats 1.000 and anytime Mahomes gets hit, the OTs get barbecued for it.
It's all gotten fairly repetitive at this point. And in many instances (such as 'Taylor was as bad as Thuney') just so fundamentally rooted in nonsense that it's just not worth addressing.
