kccrow 529 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Sorry if I don't question a good player that had a down year because of injury as much as I question a bunch of other dudes that never played. You want show me? Show me Taylor can play LT half as well as he can RT, which up until 2022 wasn't very good. With that, show me Taylor wasn't a flash in the pan at RT. Show me Morris is ever going to amount to shit, much less a LT in the NFL. Show me that Prince has developed beyond a special teams roster waste.

He's a competent LT when healthy and his cap hit is less than 3 mil. Really having to dig for Bell there? Our tackles before this was a really good RT, a RT that hasn't started much due to health, a career backup that's never started and a 3rd round rookie who probably needs a year to get his feet right. On paper this makes us better so relax. Lamardirts and oldtimer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,219 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 lol I guess crow already got to this ridiculousness. Even a replacement level player is worth it if the rest of the line holds up. You can scheme around that easily. When both tackles can't hold up on an island it's much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the more intelligent ones, so I can see him moving up but obviously that's with my very limited info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,219 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 You never know what a guy wants. Lots of former players in coaching. Jason Kelce was just talking on new heights with Andy about wanting to coach. Some guys just love being around the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper this makes us better so relax. The point is pretty simple. Smith, at his best, is an upgrade over OBJ at much lower cost. But to assume he will play at his 2021 level rather than last season when he was hurting is premature. Why do you suppose he was available at that cost if he's solid as a starter. There's questions about whether the Chiefs have found their LT for the season. Some here seem to think the matter is closed. If using the term "gushing" was inappropriate, then, well, I'm not an English major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part was probably hard to understand though, not being an English major and all. oldtimer and Joe_Chief 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
