In the aftermath of a devastating Super Bowl LIX loss, the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves at a crossroads that’s leaving their loyal fan base scratching their heads. Just when you thought the 40-22 defeat to the 49ers was hard enough to swallow, the front office dropped another bombshell: they’re looking to part ways with Joe Thuney, one of their most reliable offensive linemen. Let’s be real here—watching Patrick Mahomes struggle in what many consider his worst career performance was tough enough. The dream of a historic three-peat crumbled before our eyes, and now, instead of reinforcing the offensive line that’s shown some concerning cracks, the Chiefs are considering trading away a Super Bowl-winning guard.
This Wednesday, Farzin Vousoughin said, “I understand why it happened. But considering the complaints from all of us fans that Mahomes needs protection, this trade is tough to accept. You go from desperately needing a LT to now needing a LT and LG (unless they think one of their 3 OL draft picks can replace Thuney.) I know Thuney is old, but he’s still playing pretty damn well when at his natural position.” After that, fans totally lost it.

One fan was like, “Why, Lord, not Joe. Is it not enough that we lost the Super Bowl in a very humbling and humiliating manner? Now my darling Joe Thuney to another team. ” and another chimed in, “The Chiefs really saw Mahomes scramble for his life during the Super Bowl & thought to themselves they should trade their best offensive lineman.” Well, it’s interesting to see what the Chiefs do with Joe now!
