Make them battle it out in TC and unless Fisher is noticeably inferior as a rook start him at LT. Albert gets sloppy seconds at this point.

I am also not ANGRY about Albert. I simply don't overvalue him. GoChiefs has two gears... LOVE or HATE.. he can't comprehend someone like me just LIKING Albert. Lastly, I'm not angry about Alex Smith. I think it sucks that he was our only decent option this year but it is what it is. I would love a QBOTF to get drafted... but that doesn't make me dislike Smith at all. I liked him at San Fran and thought he constantly got a raw deal. I have zero anger.. I just want to look at what is best for our FUTURE as team. Playing guys constantly out of position and shuffling shit year to year is not what's best. |

Wish Albert would acquiesce and make the move to LG or RT.
We'd have the makings of a great OL. |

Just stick Fisher at RT and Albert at LT for five years and forget about it. None of this guard BS. We need top talent at RT to stop Von Miller anyway.

I'd much rather get a true RT and get Albert as LG. |

Not going to happen. Albert will play LT and Fisher to RT. Next off season we will do this all over again. Albert will be tagged. Will attempt to trade him. But next season Fisher will move to LT and we will make that known to Albert to to take the best deal or else its RT pal.

Well, we made this bed, so now we have to lay in it.
I'd rather go OT-RT than upgrade LG with the 1.1. Even dumber, no doubt.

I am not speculating what the Chiefs will do. I am commenting on what I believe is the best way to go about building a consistent winner over the long term. Since I have little faith that Alex Smith is the long term answer at QB, I don't care how the long term development of the line affects Alex Smith.

So it sounds more like you are basing this on some emotional hatred of the Fisher pick and man-love for Albert. I, on the other hand, am trying to look at what is best for the team.

I'm telling you right here that Stephenson was going to be in the conversation as the first tackle off the board in the 2013 Draft if he stayed in school. He was markedly better than Lane Johnson on the same team and he's already got better feet than Albert. His combine numbers, especially his burst numbers, were absolutely sick. 6'6" 35" Arms 312 lbs. 40: 4.94 seconds Vertical: 35.5" Broad Jump: 114" 3 Cone: 7.52 seconds 20 Yard Shuttle: 4.78 seconds compared to Eric Fisher: 6'7" 34 1/2" Arms 308 lbs. 40: 5.05 seconds Vertical: 28.5" Broad Jump: 116" 3 Cone: 7.59 seconds 20 yard shuttle: 4.44 seconds Stephenson is an athletic freak for a man his size, even moreso than Fisher, and he's got very, very good footwork. Considering that Stephenson was thrown into a game situation with zero reps with the first team, I think he performed quite well last season. He showed good movement and a very good first punch. He's got a very good kick step as well. (Something Branden Albert has never had.) I know that the immediate knee-jerk reaction around here is that if a guy wasn't drafted in the first round it means he isn't going to amount to shit, but Stephenson would have definitely been a first rounder this draft if he stayed in school and could have gone before Fisher or Joeckel. I've already said it, but Stephenson is going to blow up this year. |

I could care less where they put him this year if it means we can develop a truly nasty "**** you" offensive line, especially in Reid's system. I'm not above moving the number one overall pick around if opens up the screen game. He'll be the left tackle for the next ten years anyways.

And let's be clear here.
There is no one that has advocated as strongly as I have for Albert at LT. If I am suggesting that the long term future of this team is served best by moving him to LG, then there can be no better proof that I've moved on from anger to just doing what I believe best serves the team's future.

We need to use that resource to improve the team. The best way to do that is to have bookend tackles. **** this guard bullshit.
