For the last several days, Chiefs Kingdom has been collectively scratching our heads around all things related to Juan Thornhill. In some ways, it could even go back to last season, although then we just said “injury recovery” and went back to our work. However at this point, it’s clear that those of us outside of Arrowhead Stadium are not privy to a hidden tension between Thornhill and the K.C. Chiefs.
It’s always an odd thing when a team decides to play someone who is clearly a lesser talent than someone behind him. On occasion, the scenario makes sense (a la Patrick Mahomes learning the ropes of the NFL behind Alex Smith).
