I’m not gonna throw my hands in the air over a team overpaying to keep a B+ guard that is a good player. I can’t do it. Anything that helps our most valuable asset in franchise history is perfectly logical to me.
As much as I think the upside for Kingsley is there at G, he literally just started playing the position like 2 months ago. The kid never played it in college, and to my knowledge he didn’t in high school either. No guarantee he’s gonna be even Trey Smith on a bad day caliber good.
I’m not gonna bitch at the logic dude. Put truth serum in Veach and I guarantee he regrets not having Orlando Brown Jr work out after the catastrophic LT play we’ve seen this year.
Bc sure Orlando Brown Jr isn’t great. He’s a “decent” playable LT, something the Chiefs didn’t have on the roster last year.
I would have taken an overpay for him to not have what happened in the SB happen, bc I can guarantee you that if he was the LT we would not have gotten absolutely ass raped all game long by a 4 man rush.
This team has gotten embarrassed bc of the OL getting historically raped. Yeah, I don’t mind overpaying for good players on the OL if THAT doesn’t happen anymore.

I'm optimistic by nature and everyone's got their right to fan how they want.
I personally prefer to try to sink into the minds of Veach/Andy and try to see what I think they're seeing each offseason. More fun for me that way, and they've earned the trust as much as anybody.
Doesn't mean they won't be wrong. Jawaan Taylor's deal hasn't been worth the money to this point even if I don't hate him as much as average fan boy. That's the penalties more than his play in my mind.
Andy and Brett aren't idiots. They've got 100x the info and resources regarding who these players are than we do, inside and outside the building. If they're paying Trey Smith, who they've spent four years with now, there's on-field and off-field reasons for that which I'd prefer to dissect rather than just trying to suggest they're idiots even though they're all-time greats at what they do.

That's fine.
But this line of thinking quickly leads to the dissolution of this site as there's really nothing to discuss other than "whatever they do I'm for".
Which again, fine. Honestly, none of us have any say in it anyway, so we're just twiddling our dicks here.
To each his own I guess.
I don't get how "Gotta keep Mahomes clean by signing a G to a 5 year extension who was just on the OL that proceeded to not keep him clean" logic really works though.
