JFC some of you are just dying to find a reason to bash the guy.

Heh, that's what you think.

I'm not looking for reasons to bash the guy. I'm looking for reasons not to bash the guy. I want to like the pick and I want to like Eric Fisher, but he has to prove he was worth 1.1 over any other player in the draft. He has to prove he is a stud OT in the league. I want to feel good about our 1.1 draft pick. So far he hasn't impressed me. I hope he gets to prove his worth this season. Right now I don't want to hear about his hands hurting for any excuse. I'm sure he is tough though he should be tough as nails for his position and where he was picked.

When your sore fingers are the reason given for not playing as well as your peers and the X-rays come back as there being no problem...you need to stfu and play the game at a high level and play through the pain.

FFS Ronnie Lott cut a finger off in the middle of a game.

No excuses.

The part you are missing is he hasn't made 1 single excuse nor has anyone else except it being mentioned in a John Clayton article.

Then AFTER they got done playing he went to get his thumb checked out, again no excuses form him or anyone else.

You are building a straw man on this subject dude. Creating an issue that really doesn't exist.

He looked fine in the first preseason game and had no reason to want to be taken out or to have a bad hand as an excuse. In fact, I'm sure he would have welcomed more snaps, because he would have been able to play against the second team. The idea that he should risk further injury in the first preseason game that means nothing is ridiculous. This accusation is just absurd. And just because his x-rays came back negative, doesn't mean he isn't having problems with it.

Sorry, Boss, I like a lot of what you write. But this is baseless and below the belt over something we don't know anything about. You're questioning his toughness and making a pretty bold accusation that he's faking an injury.

O-Lineman have to get their hands under the pads.

If your fingers are jacked up, that can be problematic.
