People hate Fisher for two reasons:
1.- He was first overall in the shittiest draft in decades. We were so bad we had the number one pick, and what we got for that pain and anguish was Fisher. He's a solid left tackle, but you want a dominant player when you get to draft first. Of course, that's not Fisher's fault, and the #2 OT has been out of football for years now. The pain did not equal the pay-off for fans emotionally. Not his fault.
2.- A lot of people 'grew up' watching Big Willie Roaf play left tackle, and that's the standard they learned to expect. That's just not a realistic expectation, as Roaf is probably the best to EVER play the position. Also not Fisher's fault, and I agree, I sure did love watching Big Willie just destroy anyone lined up across from him.
Fisher's been durable, solid, dependable, and an above average starting Left Tackle. While you'd like better than that from a #1 overall, it is what it is. He'd be a lot harder to replace than people think.
