Yeah there's probably 3 tackles in this draft that are better prospects than Fisher was and none of them will go 1.1

The bama tackle the chargers drafted performed much better than 1.1

Most people here liked his athleticism as a potential LT. He is, according to the team, a RIGHT tackle. You can spin it all you want, it wasn't a good pick. |

He's a RT until Albert signs elsewhere. |

Not this shit again. It's been 1 season. Ya, verdict is still out on Fish. Only more scrutiny because of where he was picked. May turn out to be fine - he's not breaking bank or crippling the franchise for the future.
So please, shut the **** up with this myopic shit as if his value or play is set in Stone after season 1.

And I could give a shit what the team says he will be, especially in spin season as they figure out what to do with Albert. Joe Staley was a Right Tackle too before he became a LT. There's no doubt that his skill sets are better suited for the Left. |

I've said several times and nobody's really responded that the new CBA has made it extremely difficult for rookies to break in because they've cut out a TON of rookies' offseason work. Especially difficult for a guy like Fisher, who needs a ton of help having come from a small school. Fish will have a full offseason to work with coaches, to work on a conditioning plan (which I imagine he is already on), and should hopefully finally have a healthy shoulder. And there's no denying he improved a lot throughout the season. These are big reasons to at least be optimstic that he'll get better. |

The thing is, if Fisher works out they look like geniouses (CP spelling). If they re-sign Albert and Fisher stinks and it's Albert and Stephenson from there on, then we're still screwing ourselves with two big LT contracts and only one serviceable LT.
They already made the gambit when they drafted Fisher. It was a gamble. Go through with it. Don't start backtracking now and panic-pay an aging, average tackle a huge contract. You make the upside play. |
