The biggest reasons why Eric Fisher has struggled this year are because:

1. He's not strong enough.
2. He switched to RT at a pro level after playing LT recently in college.
3. His technique needed work.

Literally all of this is correctable with an offseason of change. Lest you forget that Dontari Poe was not that great of a rookie and now look at him? He went through a rigorous NFL offseason and worked on his diet, technique and fundamentals and it paid off big time. I expect to see the same in Fisher next year. He has ALL of the tools to be a very good LT.

Regardless, I think we are set at T. Let them compete for the LT job and the loser should be okay at RT.

Fisher was always going to be a multiyear project. If they wanted the one who was supposed to contribute immediately, they'd have taken Joeckel. You don't take someone that high unless you see them becoming a franchise LT, and I'm sure that Reid and Dorsey still feel like he is.

It's pretty obvious that he's improving when even on Chiefs Planet, where he's about as popular as Osama Bin Laden, the bitching about Fisher has largely stopped.

I think he's going to be fine.

I'll buy that.

Well, yeah. Great analogy.

I remember in his first game, Joe Thomas gave up 4 sacks.

Anthony Davis for his first two years got TORCHED, as did Joe Staley.

Its not a perfect thing. Draft rookie, insert rookie, VOILA, SUCCESS.

To be fair Geno had a lot of bad weeks.

Good Weeks - Geno lovers bump
Bad weeks - Geno haters bump

Hope we don't let Schwartz walk. Strangely, he appears to be the anchor of the line.

Where are you getting the cap room to fit what he wants under the cap? Next year is gonna be a ugly off-season not much room.

Maybe because all Off-season we had to listen to the Geno crap. If you disagreed with them you got dogged.

I honestly don't see any logical way for him to stay with the Chiefs next year. We can't afford to give him a new contract and we can't afford to tag him.
