Either way, I think we're in good shape.
Pretty much THIS. Don't spend a ton of time on this competition... but give each a chance to really make the determination. Then, let them stay put and get to work on their respective spots. Should be enough offseason time for them to get comfortable and ready for September.

RT the rest of this year
LT next year

competition will be involved, of course

In today's NFL with pass rushers coming from both sides of the line that is a smart move.

Doesn't have to be "over"

imo Fisher is a better fit at LT, Stephenson at RT

Yeah, I'm fine with people assuming Fisher will win a open competition for the LT job.

I'm just not fine with people thinking Fisher should be the LT because of where or why he was drafted.

This is the point that no one wishes to accept.

Thank you for making it.

In my mind, value doesn't have anything to do with it.

Fisher looks to be a prototypical LT and Stephenson a RT

Fisher move to RT because of Albert and if that roadblock leaves then Fisher should be considered for the LT position.

We should probably prepare for when Donald Stephenson's contract is up in 2016. Draft a tackle in the first round. Can never have too much depth. Groom him for the role.

And while the rookie gets settled in awhile, we probably need to think about Fisher's replacement after that. Don't want to overpay on our next contract, especially if he's not the greatest LT of all time!

I think they roll with Stephenson at LT next year. They didn't bat an eye moving him to LT when Albert went down instead of putting the franchise RT in at LT. That doesn't show me they have a ton of faith in him switching sides to his "natural position" or some bullshit

Or it was the simple fact that moving Fisher from RT to LT after playing half of a season at RT would be reeruned.

Actually, they're both prototypical LTs.

He's obviously worked on this, but he is not in Fisher's league as far as those two factors go.
What in the **** are you talking about?

Stephenson posted a top 10 3 cone for OL at the combine (7.52 seconds), as well as better 10 and 20 yard times than Kalil, Glenn, Reiff, Adams, Osemele, and Schwartz, to name a few.
