Either way, that argument would hold a bit more weight if everyone on the line didn’t get abused in LIX. Jawaan was getting his shit pushed in, as was Trey. And we all know Caliendo and Thuney were even worse than those guys.
Too much money tied up in the OL to turn in that sort of performance on that big of a stage against that caliber of opposition. Seriously, Carter is elite but guys were getting ravaged by Jalyx Hunt and Bryce Huff. Those guys are basically replacement level players. Josh Sweat is like an 8-sack-per-year kind of guy and we made him look like Reggie White.

Exactly! Heck didn’t mold and create Creed and Trey, they had the skills from the gate. Now who do we blame for Treys regression the last 2 seasons? Let me guess Jawaan?? What about the current backup OL that despite a 2nd and third rounder among others can’t develop any of them to move into Smiths position, and save us 24 million this coming season? They aren’t capable of getting pushed back into Mahomes lap like he’s been doing lately?
It’s either poor coaching, or poor scouting/drafting. I understand we have some very late round picks there as well, but look at the rest of the leagues rosters, and especially OG and see where lots of them were drafted.
Quessenberry 6th rd, Cam Fleming 4th rd, Shaq Mason 4th, Bobby Hart 7th, Kelvin Beachum 7th, Dawkins pick 63, Raimann 3rd, Zach Tom 4th, Mailata 7th. And that’s not nearly all of them.
But KC needs a first round pick to potentially “mold into a starter”? The **** outta here. We’re supposed to have elite coaches, but they were nowhere to be found on February 9th (aside from Spags) in NOLA. But we are supposed to give guys like Heck the benefit of the doubt? What has he done LATELY??
