I mean unless they are going to be super bowl caliber after Alex Smith is gone in 2 years, just cut them all and go 0-16.

better yet, just forfeit the entire season and wait until we draft again next year because we are dooooooooooooooooooomed.


Can someone loan AC a tampon because apparently he is out.

I think what he's suggesting, and that I agree with, is that you put the line out there that you think has the chance to develop and grow together, and have them playing at their peak when the Chiefs do get the QB that can lead them to a SB.

The only problem with that thought process is that the Chiefs will never get that QB.

I understand and we are with the exception of Brandon Albert.

It's a unique and temporary situation

People are still pissed about taking an OT and 1.1 and it's making them adamant about Fisher being at LT 'no matter what the cost,dammit'. Putting Fisher at RT for even a single snap makes them even more angry about the pick.

get over it

Your post, however, was directed at a guy (AC) that has always argued that Albert is just an average LT, so I highly doubt that he is reacting to it, and forwarding a plan out of any anger because we took a LT at 1.1.

As for me, I don't like the Fisher pick, but the deed is done, and now my only consideration is to do what I consider will maximize the value of the pick long term.

Just to be clear I have said he is just an ABOVE average guy.. 10-15 range which I adjusted to 8-12 range after last year.

I am pissed that this draft class sucked but I am fine with the pick. There simply wasn't anyone else to pick there.. no matter how much I wish that wasn't true doesn't change the facts.

All of that said, I firmly believe Fisher can be a beast at LT for us for years to come

100% agree except I'm holding out hope on the QB thing..

If you can sign Albert long term at LG you will have plenty of space to sign a guy like Clabo at RT and all of a sudden you have a killer line that you don;t need to worry about for years. OR you can play Fisher at RT and risk screwing him up like Tyron Smith and you get the fun of reshuffling the line in a year. Just makes zero ****ing sense unless you are in some sort of desperate win now mode.

The offseason moves tell me that's exactly what they're doing.

The people running the team believe we have have that QB. Scary thought.
