Jacobs is such a toolbag.
He will advocate they take an ol because the learning curve is less, yet the one they took last year sucked shit.

He didn't suck shit. What he didn't do was meet lofty expectations that he would be a stud day 1, which were far from the norm for NFL lineman. He progressed almost weekly, which was a great sign. He also played injured a lot. I'm excited to see what the strength training in the offseason does for him.
People also compare his play to Stephenson's play, which is ****ing stupid given that Stephenson had an extra offseason of strength training and development in the NFL. Stephenson should have looked better than a rookie. Stephenson was a highly touted pick himself, who probably would have went round 1 if he stayed for his senior year.
Adding into all of this is just how spoiled KC fans have been with the tackle position over the years. They've had some very good tackles, never many average guys. I think Fisher is going to be far better than average by year 3.
I think we should all be damn excited about the offensive tackle situation heading into the future because it looks very promising. If the guard situation can be remedied, the Chiefs should boast a stout offensive line.
Edit:
What I'm saying is he didn't look as bad as Black, McIntosh, Carlisle, and so forth. At least he was an actual rookie that showed development. Albert wasn't too stunning his first year either, but at least he didn't get moved clear to the other side of the line.
