You guys are just flat out in left field. Fisher showed flashes late in the season. He looked terrible the first half of the season, but from about the Buffalo game forward he really did play better. That doesn't mean he's going to be an all-pro or that he even justifies a number 1 pick. But the Tyson Jackson comparison is just not right.

I never brought up Tyson Jackson before that post. Can you give me any tackle in nfl history that was selected 1.1 and still needs to put on weight? Absolutely ridiculous. |

But give me a break. A lot of the Fisher bashers are apologizing for Geno's rough rookie season. A lot of the Fisher bashers haven't made a mouse peep about guys they wanted who were also really blah, like Tavon Austin or Dion Jordan. NONE of the guys most people on Chiefs Planet wanted were even CLOSE to having the kind of rookie year you'd expect from a 1.1. Fisher wasn't nearly as bad as people say he was. And the alternatives... they weren't much better if at all. |

What's funny is the prime example of a big athletic mid-major lineman taking a year or two to develop is right on our own team in Poe. You might as well say Fisher is just like Poe. Same difference.

Few people on CP were crazy about the Fisher pick. But there was a pretty wide consensus that if they picked a Tackle, it should have been Fisher. And the reason was because even though he was less NFL ready, he had a higher ceiling. Now all of a sudden, it's about being NFL ready immediately? Talk about an all-time flip flop. |

How? Fisher needs to put on weight. Poe was looked at as an athletic freak coming out of college. |

The same arguments popping up too. People calling for Powe to start. Lots of people laughing when they said Poe showed "flashes." It also doesn't help that with the new CBA, these kids are getting started on their training WAY too late. |

So someone tell me why we should expect Fisher, who was an abomination this year to be the future franchise left tackle?

Not even close. Poe was physically ready out of college, Fisher obviously isn't |

Wait, are we talking about Fisher needing a couple of years to develop at right tackle or left?

Fisher is not the complete freak Poe is... but he's a big guy who is tremendously athletic in space. You can clearly see why they picked him over Joeckel. I actually think he falls well in between Poe and Jackson... but the comparison to Jackson isn't valid. Jackson is a run stuffing DE.
