PFF wise (whatever that is worth): 70.1 to 77.1 to 61.2. The OL & Burrow were horrid early on, and almost completely predictable by formation. And then Jonah played through a dislocated kneecap.
When making the call on the 5th year, our other options were Adeniji who looked terrible at guard, Carman, who looked terrible at guard,, and Smith, who has barely played. A big time FA is gonna be pricey and there is no guarantee we could land one.
Jonah will have next year to prove he is a franchise level LT. Collins will have a year to bounce back to form. And Carman & Adeniji will have another year to improve & challenge them if they falter. Smith or a drafted OT as well.
I 100% get where you're coming from. And I agree that the 5th year option was, indeed, the only option. However, if Carman emerges.... there IS the other option. As far as Carman is concerned, one game does not give me any confidence in him as far as long term option. It does give me hope for game #2 that a healthy Carman is better than a gimpy Jonah Williams.
I'm incredibly eager to see if this run game continues in KC.
