That's the breaks. It's not necessarily his fault, but he was the first pick if the draft, that's what happens.

Well, there's that whole pesky 1.1 thing.

Where our GM and HC prattled on and on about getting the right guy at that pick. We can act like the fact that he was the 1.1 pick isn't a big deal; and he's just another highly drafted guy. But it isn't true. It never will be.

It's not really fair to him. He didn't decide to be drafted at 1.1 anymore than Tyson Jackson decided to be drafted at 1.3. But those guys are going to be forever tied to their draft spots, and the fact that they were the first picks for their respective regimes.

We all trusted our new GM and this regime to be better at drafting than the old one. Even more so when they go the "safe" route and take a RT at that pick. Which means most of us would like to see their first draft effort look like an NFL player. He hasn't yet. That's concerning.

Way too early to write Fisher off.

Hell, the entire line, especially the interior, has been shit this year.

The Chiefs could have had ANY draft eligible player in the entire world. They took Eric Fisher. He looks like a slapdick through three games. This is CP; where we melt down and over-react.

Are some of you really that surprised at the backlash this guy is getting?

I don't think anybody is honestly writing the guy off yet. He still has plenty of time to find his game; I think most of us just expected quite a bit more out of the guy at this point.

I'm a bit dissatisfied that he hasn't been better, but not terribly worried about it yet. I'm hoping the entire line will gel and hit their stride soon. We need better holes for Charles in the running game. The run blocking almost seems worse than the pass blocking so far.

How hard is this for you to understand? Seriously. :spock:

QBs are different than RTs. They're worth infinitely more.

When you're drafting at 1.1, if you can get an eventual stellar QB who requires 1-2 years of patience and on-field growth, you take that. Because it's a ****ing QB.

When you're drafting at 1.1 and you're faced with the option of drafting a RT who requires the same amount of patience and rookie frustration in order to become just as good at his position, you're much better off looking for a different player at a different position.

Please tell me what you don't understand. It's very important that you get this.

I... don't know what the hell you're talking about. What the **** has happened to you?

Yeah, lucky us :shake:

i am surprised. He's a freaking rookie tackle. He is going to get better every single game. Along the way, he's going to make mistakes. There's little question that he has the requisite physical and mental traits and drive to improve.

Yeah, that's what he's been doing.

Getting better every game.

Don't bother reading the article or anything.

Thing is, Fisher is getting worse the more he plays.

His worst game was Philly.

If he doesn't get his shit together soon, I'd put Stephenson at rt

He'll get plenty of time. This won't happen.

Hopefully it doesn't end up getting Alex hurt.

I'd prefer to overpay Albert than have Fish start at LT next year and suck out loud...
