Are we now settling for passable starter from the highest and most valuable pick the franchise has ever had?
Maybe it's just me, but I think there should be a higher standard.

No. We're not rating the quality of the pick. It was a terrible pick. But the fact is, on CP, most people would have been okay with not re-signing Albert and Donald Stephenson starting at left tackle because the team didn't take a big step back. So if Fisher plays the same level as Stephenson, then CP should feel like this o-line didn't take a big step back.
Of course I would hope that Fisher improves much more than being passable. But that's not what we're arguing here. I'm arguing against comments (yours included) that he doesn't belong in this league based on how he's playing right now. That is a MUCH different comment than asking if he lived up to his pick.
