Fisher will prove to be the better player very quickly.

just being stubborn and stilly

Albert has been an NFL left tackles for years ... he should be better right now

Fisher needs to be playing LT.

I dont understand how people believe that if youre awesome at LT, then you should be equally awesome at RT.

Everything is reversed.

Just because you can write with your right hand, doesnt mean you'll instantly be able to write with your left. There are some people gifted with ambidexterity, but not everyone can just pick it up.

This isnt a Madden videogame.

If Albert wants out, move him. Why waste a year of Fisher's career making him play RT, only to move him back to LT when Albert leaves?

Goddamn Chiefs have always got to be effing with a guy's position. If you need a RT, draft a RT. Need a Corner? Draft a corner. Dont go converting a safety.

This cant be that hard.

Totally this...

Thats what I was trying to say. Why waste a year 'developing' the new LT at RT? Move Albert, and let the 1.1 start as a LT....

If Albert is only a one year player, I tend to agree. Have Fisher start his career at LT and move Albert. But if they manage to sign Albert to a long term deal, I'm fine with letting him stay at LT and making Fisher the RT.

You know what's not that hard? Switching from LT to RT isn't that hard, that's what.

Many, if not most, NFL RTs played LT in college. Eric Fisher played both RT and LT in college. He even played some games at guard.

Yeah, except a bunch of LTs/RTs have switched positions early I'm their career and had no problem. One year at RT will not hinder Fisher's development at all. It may even help him as he isn't going to be thrown in the fire right away.

Or maybe the Chiefs are like "take our offer of a long term deal 5/40 and we will play you at left tackle. If you are only staying one year and leaving, off to guard you go."

I want keep them both as well. I just think Fisher has a chance at a butt load of pro bowl years, or even potentially, all pro according to the analysis.

I'd like to see a potentially great career started at the correct position.

I agree 100%.

Let Branden play RT or LG.

He's already said he won't move.

He's not a coach, and doesn't get to choose.

aaaaaand that's why he's gonna be gone after next season.... it's really funny that some of you are saying "once he signs his new contract, he'll switch positions!" But if he is expecting to be paid like an elite LT, why would kc sign him to a deal that pays him like an elite LT, only to move him to another position? How stupid is that? That's like the Broncos paying Manning elite QB money and then moving him to the bench. What the is the point? This is the issue with Albert, he's not going to sign the new long term contract unless he's making top dollar and kc is not going to give him top dollar because 1. he's not an elite LT to begin with and 2. they are gonna move him anyway.
