Prime Albert was a better LT than Fisher will ever be. He was very, very good 2008-2013. Other than Roaf I don't remember a more athletic guy playing for KC at LT.

Injuries ruined him though.

Will Shields.

That's it.

Albert was a (slow) but consistent boss on the left side.

People can talk shit but don't watch who he faced in his prime...

He was never the anchor LT for us but he was much better than Fish.

It's hard to say that a mid-late 1st should've been anything more than Albert ended up.

If every pick made between 15 and 30 had the same kind of career Albert had, you'd be ahead of most GMs. He was a nice player who happened to be here during a time when the team sucked ass so you just never knew what kind of impact he was truly capable of having.

That said, it would've been interesting to see if better technique could've lengthened his career some. He was always so erratic with his base that it had to put more strain on his back.

Nah; Fisher has every bit the athleticism Albert had and almost certainly more. Albert has him beat in functional strength and where Albert had weird technique that he made work, Fisher's trying to learn more conventional technique and the learning curve hasn't been as quick as you'd like.

But Fisher could easily be a much better player than Albert was, even at Albert's best. Fisher's functional strength is improving as is his technique. He's doing a better job keeping his legs under him and not over-extending at his punch. Dude looks more and more like a plus LT every game.

Perhaps he never gets to the All-Pro level, but Albert didn't either. Fisher could easily be a repeat pro bowler though.

It's hard to tell with Albert. I'll always remember Albert as the guy rolling around on the ground making everyone think he just sustained a season ending injury only to get up, come back in and finish out the game. The first time I noticed it I gave him props for toughing it out until someone on here pointed out that he does it all the time. The next couple times I noticed, I started to suspect he might be a bit of a drama queen.

He's currently getting owned by a rookie in camp, a few months after a 40-year old owned him.

Not great, bob.

Because Harrison made a move that Hali has beaten literally dozens of tackles with? Fisher played well in that game; lost a battle and ended up getting flagged for a move the league has insisted isn't a penalty a ton of times in the past.

As for camp - who gives a ****?

Harrison got the better of Fisher the entire game. That wasn't a great effort by Fisher at all. In addition to getting owned on that 2-point play, he gave up a sack, a hit and 3 QB pressures. Mediocre at best.

That's what Fisher strikes me as. Mediocre. And he's supposed to be in his prime, now. He won't get much bettter IMO.

So back in June he tells the Jags that he would play but now is a quitter.

That kind of screws over the Jags cuz he should have just retired before the draft.

He doesn't need to get a lot better; Albert wasn't a premier player. Fisher's an average to slightly above average LT who came to the NFL green as grass and with an injury then was asked to switch positions. Last year was his 2nd year healthy and where he'll end up.

If he plateaus this year, I think that may be the best we get from him, but I think there's room for additional growth there still. Like I said; not a stud, but as a genuinely good player. That's all Albert ever was - merely pretty good. And if Fisher can reach that level while also playing more than the 12-13 games you could come to expect from Albert, that's a demonstrably better player.

Shock the system.

Pick up a 2 and 5 and leave the round.

With that we could have taken THE BEST HB IN THE LEAGUE that I was begging us to take (and we could have had we not traded our pick away) that year.

Had we taken Bell (who I was pimping hard that draft) he would have been an unbelievable combo with Charles...
What wise GM would trade up with us?
