But the #1 overall guy should be in beast mode from Day One, not need a year in the weight room, learning technique, etc.

Agreed. If not in beast mode; at least showing flashing of dominance.

We've seen the exact opposite so far.

When the Chiefs are need of a solid starting TE and will likely need more CB's/Safeties later in the season, I don't think it can be classified as "good".

And Knile Davis needs to go to the Tiki Barber School of Fumbling.

I'd like to think he just needs time because of the position switch, but it looks to me like he can't physically handle some of these guys. He's getting whipped. He doesn't look strong at all.

If the Chiefs get into playoff run mode you wonder how long it takes before they want to put in Stephenson or Schwartz, who is a solid RT, to avoid disastrous results on key passing downs.

Welcome to CP.

STFU noob :D

What makes it worse, is that we took a Player first overall in the draft, and immediately changed his position.


IMO, that's not smart.

Why would we need more safeties?


The upgraded the te spot, it just appears they did it with glass

We could have shipped off Albert per Dorsey's master plan and had Fisher at LT.

I'm sure that would be even uglier so far. Be glad he's playing RT for the sake of Alex's spine.

Remember just a month or so ago? Knile Davis: "I vow I shall never fumble again!"

That didn't take long for him to look dumb for saying that...

Terrible position to pick to improve your team, especially at #1. Look for someone who can block in the middle rounds.

A left tackle is pretty damn important to any offense. Which is what we originally thought he would be playing.

Because Kendrick Lewis has shown the unique ability to get injured on fluke plays and miss stretches of games at a time.

My hope is that Sanders Commings comes off of short term IR and steals the starting spot.

Also, two tight end sets with competent players would be preferable to one guy off the streets.

This was a pretty rough draft. Fisher has talent, and he will improve over time I'm sure. Dont think he'll end up being the best player in the draft unfortunately.

I dunno, at least he had played lt. I don't think it's any coincidence that all the lts taken and moved to rt are struggling mightily

He should be good by the middle/end of the season, and turn into a Pro-Bowler by year 2.

That's how much time I am giving him before I go nuclear.

What Pablo said- it isn't like that argument never gets flipped around.

Oh, and there's that other thing. Where Geno Smith is a ****ing QB and Eric Fisher is not. The learning curve is astoundingly higher for the QB than the RT.

And no, before you accuse me of calling Eric Fisher a bust, he's not a bust yet. He's still got time to turn this shit around. I've been saying exactly what Reid was quoted in the article-- a full offseason in the NFL training program will likely do wonders for Fisher.

If he's still sucking wastewater at this time next year though, THEN we have a problem.
