You posted it as if it were a fact. So you're saying you really don't know if we will win the Super Bowl with our new line?

The guards though? I don’t think we’re a winning a Super Bowl with a 3rd round rookie and Cody Ford/Lucas Patrick, no.

We were within a whisker of winning a super bowl with a worse ol than we currently have.  It wasn’t their fault kupp couldn’t be covered.  Just my two cents

RG is the only thing that is concerning, IMO: the rest of the OL is more than fine.

I am not sure we can really say that since we came within eye lashes of winning SB against the Rams, with a much worse Oline across the board than we do now.  Also the Rams did not have any real super stars at guard against us in that SB and they won.  We have already shown we have enough talent on offense to win and put up points, but it is the defense that i think will prevent us from a SB title now (unless they have the same run our defense did in 2022 playoffs). We have a much better line than below and we came with in a play or two from winning the SB

SB Oline      Williams, Spain, Hopkins, Adeniji, Prince

No one said you need superstars. But a 3rd round rookie, and a battle between Cody Ford and Lucas Patrick does not exactly fill me with confidence. Wish I was as hopeful about the IOL as some of you seem to be.

Time will tell.

KC had Trey Smith and Joe Thuney at G and Creed Humphrey at C. Despite that, Mahomes was the most hit QB in the league last year, even more than Burrow.  They still made the SB.

True, but they also did not adequately address LT, then the guy got hurt and they had no great option for a back up so they moved Thuney. Even great orgnizations make bad roster decisions.

They had real tackle problems, and had to put Thuney out of position at tackle they were so thin.  So they effectively had no edge protection and compromised protection in the middle.

The rest are pretty proven, even Patrick doesn't give up sacks. I think this OL could be much better than the ones we had in the SB and other AFC 
championship run.

It may not seem significant, but Samaje Perine coming back should improve interior protection. He was the fourth ranked RB in terms of pass protection his last year with us in 2022.


I would be also be very interested to see if we install a power run game element to our offense. We have the beef at G in Ford and Manning and Brooks is a bowling ball....


I wish All was back!

They also have a QB that makes a living moving around and extending plays for a living. The Chiefs will never get any sympathy from me.
