I'm in no way an expert, but my understanding is that left tackles rarely thrive in their rookie seasons. If Andy thinks Kingsley has improved, why wouldn't he put him out there again? It's easily the best-case scenario, although a scenario that carries substantial risk. But what do you expect from a raw project picked at the end of the second round? Eric Fisher, the first pick of the draft, looked completely lost for two years. I don't see the team moving Kingsley to guard that quickly with those physical tools.
Unless Andy and Heck think Kingsley is a bust I'm not willing to give up the dream yet -- particularly with the appalling lack of other options.

It absolutely is a huge risk, but if that's the route they end up taking then so be it. But if they're wrong about this again and we see year 3 in a row where the offense is wrecked because of some combination of piss poor play at OL, WR, and/or RB since 2023 then some jobs need to be on the line. I realize the word "wrecked" might be hyperbole to some when they're still in the top half of the league but when you have Patrick Mahomes you shouldn't be anywhere close to the lowest ADOT in the league. The amount of disfunction we've seen on offense for the past 2 years simply cannot be allowed to continue for another season.
