I am saying that if you were one of the people who bitched about Alex Smith and wanted to draft a QB of our own... then you would be a hypocrite to not treat the Oline in a similar fashion.

Following along now?

basically you are

creating drama by moving Albert
putting a rookie at left tackle

both things weaken the Oline, team and give Alex Smith less of a chance to get off to a good start and succeeding this year. All because you think playing right tackle for a single season might hinder Fisher's development.

nah, if you want to win this year then you put Fisher and RT for a year and then make your moves next year. Fisher will have plenty of time next offseason and training camp to 'switch hands'

now if you want to argue that Albert isn't very good(like MM suggests) then that's an entirely different discussion.
