Yes, but were pretty set at safety it seems.


Agree with the te though.

Really dude. He's played 3 games.

He didn't come into the draft being touted as Orlando Pace. He was a high ceiling project, an ascending player who it is hoped would develop into a top player a la Joe Staley, who came out of the same school.

Fisher was not even really a reach because he was the top player in the draft at a premium position. It wasn't like teams had him graded as a second round pick and we grabbed him a full round too early. He was a no-doubt top 10 pick.

I don't understand people holding him to this standard that makes no sense, that he should make the pro bowl this year or whatever, just because of where he was drafted. He can't help that. He's the same man whether he was drafted at #1 or #10 or anywhere else.

It's still bullshit, though, that the #1 overall pick would need a full year in the weight room and work on his technique before he's even adequate.

I'm really tired of that excuse and we've heard it about Dorsey and Jackson, two other Top Five picks.

If the guy can't play at a high level immediately, don't draft him.

And from the looks of it, Kyle Long is playing quite well. What's his excuse?

The difference being that Staley was like #26 overall, not #1.

looking at Fisher's style in college, he's a mauler in pass protection -- he's that LT guy that, once he gets his hands on you, he's got control of you and he does it the way refs like. But his techniques in getting to a guy aren't good -- he has no hand techniques for that initial contact and he plays too high, needs to bend the knees and get better lateral quickness.

We're not blaming Fisher. We're blaming Dorsey.

He and Reid's mantra in pre-draft interviews this offseason was, "the most important thing about the #1 pick is that you get it right."

Like Dane said, if Fisher needs all this time to become the great player he's supposed to be, then it wasn't worth it. Not at #1 overall. Pick another player with just as high of a ceiling and a propensity for immediately playing well. THERE'S your best player in the draft.

There is this...

And his teammates don't seem to be pushing the panic button.

The line is not only trying to develop chemistry, but are also adjusting to the new blocking scheme.

They should start to come together over the next 4-8 games.

I just sense that there are some fans who want Fisher to fail so they can say I told you so. At this point I'm pulling for every player on this team to take a step. If that happens this week the Chiefs will be 4-0. C'mon Fish, get your shit together!

No. I want Fisher to be a badass. Unfortunately he sucks right now and I am going to be pigheaded about it because I wanted Geno in the 1st and it looks like I was right.

This fanbase needs to get it through their thick skulls: take a QB in the 1st.

I would expect to see Fisher play better on Sunday, due to the ten day break and expect a another leap after the Bye week.

We shall see...

albert was excellent his rookie season...sorry it bothers you

Fisher has already ****ed up more in 3 games than albert did in a season...again, I get it, we have to pretend we're excited about using the #1 pick in the draft on the worst RT in the league...i mean, you do, I don't

but some day he'll be the 8th best RT, and then the #1 pick will totally be worth it...because that's how 'safe' picks work

it's a tangent, and I know our draft class will improve...but jesus, right now our draft picks are a complete ****ing worthless pile of shit...

If Geno Smith or EJ Manuel are even simply above average QBs for 10 years, the Fisher pick is brutally bad, provided Alex Smith checkdowns his way into playoff losses.

throw in DeAndre Hopkins, or hell even Eifert...i won't even start a fight by pointing out how much better Geno Smith is than Fisher...holy shit, talk about value picks

Yup.
