But he's not great. His ceiling isn't great. Fisher's is.

You focus on Albert's quickness. Here's all I can do to highlight the difference in their respective athleticism:

Fisher is bigger, he's stronger, he's faster, he's quicker, he's more explosive. He is, across the board, a significantly better athlete than Brandon Albert. In many instances it isn't even a close question.

Fisher can truly be a Joe Thomas type of tackle. Now I will listen all day to people that want to debate the value of an elite LT in the modern NFL - it's a legitimate argument.

But this crybaby bullshit from folks that are moping about like there's no way Fisher can ever approach the performance that we got from Albert is just silly. Fisher can be, should be, and in my opinion will be a significantly better all-around LT than Brandon Albert.

Pulling shotgun... out of mouth...

Who has the longer arms?

Albert or Fisher?

Some of you need to leaf through your Geno Smith scrapbooks and find your favorite photo of him, and beat off to it until you're spent.

Maybe you'll finally feel better, or at least surfeited.

I expect Fisher had better throw at least 3 TD's per game and avg about 250 yards as well.

Fisher by a hair under an inch; 34 1/2 to 33 5/8

Not an insignificant amount when looking for a LT, though not a deal-breaker kindof issue either. Fisher's are slightly above average, Albert's slightly below.

Nobody even heard of this ****ing guy until right before the college season ended. I expect him to ****ing make blocks, big whoop

Got their ass kicked by Ball ****ing State

He did give up three ****ing sacks. Against Ball ****ing State. Von Miller is gonna rape him.

A solid but not outstanding OT. He's not going to be confused for Willie Roaf anytime soon.

Is Fisher married or have a girlfriend?

heh, no...just laughing at you guys who expect every top pick to be able to perform miracles.

If he helps turn the franchise around, but only becomes a good, but not transcendent player, he was still worth it. Examples: Drew Bledsoe, Kerry Collins

Since when do "Good but not great" offensive linemen turn a franchise around?

I hope that isn't aimed at me. I said I anticipate he will be about like Albert.

He could be and should be. But so should a litany of other players that aren't. The incremental gain from Albert to Fisher can't be all that huge because Albert is pretty goddamned good.

I think he'll be OK. Probably a lot like John Tait. Solid, dependable guy. Hopefully he'll stay injury free. John Alt was a big guy like Fisher, and he had back trouble a lot in the latter years of his career.

True fans decide this, not actual facts.
