But people have to get it out of their heads that Fisher has to be a pro bowl left tackle, or else he sucks. He will NEVER live up to the pick. It was a bad pick. But now that he's on the team, it would be nice if people would stop exaggerating how bad his play on the field has been. I think in year 1 as a LT, he can certainly be passable. At least play to the same level as Donald Stephenson would. |

Remember a year ago when some people were arguing that we should start Fisher at LT out of the gate and move Albert to RT?

The problem with that is that your offensive line becomes good by playing together as a unit. They can't be shuffling every year and expect it to be any good.

If they knew (which I'd imagine they did) that it was going to play out the way it did, they should have taken what they could get for Albert from Miami and started him at LT.

I am responding to those who are convinced the guy is complete hot garbage and was hot garbage last year, which is pretty much everybody. Last year at RT, he improved into a guy who at least belongs on the field. We need much better than that, but that's a different way of telling the story. |

Basically, with drafting him at 1, the Chiefs FO showed that they expect him to become a cornerstone/franchise player.
We're a **** load of a long ways off from that. |

I want to know if he can start in this league. Not make the pro bowl. But start and play at the same level as Donald Stephenson. That's absolutely possible by year 1. I personally think he needs a full healthy offseason with his shoulder to add the bulk he needs, but for this year, the bar is pretty low as long as we get out of our head that we need to determine his value as a starter based on where he was picked versus "are you good enough to start." |

If he improves at left tackle the way he did on the right side last year, he could easily be a passable starter. If he's a passable starter, he'll be in the league. He's the 19th highest paid left tackle in the league right now.

It goes deeper than that. If he doesn't live up to the pick, it speaks massively to the ineptitude that is the Front Office in the drafting and stocking of the roster with players. |
