In Hindsight, Still Think Keeping Gano over Butker was a Huge Mistake.

We've missed consistency since Kasay, and Gano is still unreliable despite a strong showing so far this year.  I hadn't kept up with Butker since his first game with KC until tonight...  he is a rookie, has made 11 straight attempts and just drilled a 53 yarder right down the middle, and again, he's younger and cheaper than Gano.  I know, no use in crying over spilled milk, but Hurney screwed up here.

We should've gone young for sure. They are about equal but Butker is much younger and cheaper. Should've kept Lee (Palardy looked good in preseason, but just like last year, has been terrible this year, easily bottom 5) and Butker. Should've went with the opposite combo of young/old. But whatever, we can still win it this year and right now that's all I'm focusing on. I'm not enough of a masochist to be looking towards our future under Hurney and JR...

I think it's a bit too early to proclaim that Buttkicker will be something "special".  Gano has kicked very well this year. In the controversial no field goal attempts this year, where a different kicker could have played a roll in the season.  I don't see RR allow Buttkicker to kick the ones he didn't let Gano kick. Also, with Buttkicker, he was a built in excuse, "...didn't want to put a rookie in that position..."

 Nonetheless, I wish Buttkicker nothing but the best. I always like an Andy Reid coached team and he landed in a great place.

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
