You don't make sense. Nobody was gonna get full value in a trade, but you can't tell me Miami wouldn't have moved to 1 for the same compensation they gave up to go to 3. Give me Kenny Vaccaro, Sheldon Richardson, Star Loteuleiuoesddt, EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, Eric Reid, or any of a few others and a second rounder over Eric Fisher. Shit if what we wanted was a right tackle, how about DJ Fluker and a second rounder for Eric Fisher? |

How many fumbles did he have? How many times did people liken his short game to Brodie Croyle because he was throwing lasers everywhere? How many picks did he throw? How many times did he stare guys down? It doesn't take a genious (cp spelling) to see these things during preseason. |

Fisher blows. I agree. If I could redraft, I'd take Sheldon Richardson. |

I still think Fisher is improving. He's played a lot better the 2nd half of the season. You can see his potential talent. Not sure he was really worthy of the #1 pick but so far this draft doesn't look like the strongest. Of course the Chiefs would get the first pick in a weak year.
Geno was a better prospect than Bray. Bray was just a raw arm... he still pretty much is. That said Geno's strength was accuracy and his accuracy has been terrible, so there's that. |

Geno is MUCH better as a passer and has plus mobility. Their ceilings aren't comparable. |

It's cherry picking to show his stats from his teams wins?
He is a rookie, consistency is a rarity among rookies. Last year made people forget that. What you want to see is flashing of the players upside...things to build on. You also want to see mistakes so you can formulate a game plan based on his strengths and weaknesses. Geno has shown that he can perform at a high level if put into position to do so. Even with a talentless team. |
9 TD's, 20 INT's, 55% for completions. Those are turrible numbers for a QB, rookie or otherwise.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm taking Kiko Alonso 1 overall if we are re-drafting.
He's going to be a top 5 MLB for the next 10 years in the NFL. |

Vaccaro would be magical in this defense. |

My point is that winning 6 or 7 games as a rookie is a fairly significant accomplishment. |

DISCLAIMER: PRESEASON STATS
Bray 21-40 passing. 222 yards. 2 fumbles and a pick. Is that better than what Geno is giving NY? For some reason I thought he turned the ball over more. One thing goes without question. ..if Geno doesn't clean up the turnovers, he won't keep getting chances to. That's gotta come first. He has been doing a better job of keeping the ball high while reading the defense, but he still has a ways to go in terms of identifying coverages. That's to be expected and he is hopefully learning so when he sees it the next time, he knows how to capitalize. |

He feasted on weaker competition, but any time he faced a true defense he failed. Just go back and watch the Kstate WVU game last year. Its been proven this year. Oakland is horrid on defense. Bills? Pats? Falcons? Those are god awful defenses. He may turn out to be a good one. But, a leopard has a hard time changing his spots. |

Just saying in general that he has not played well against strong defenses. Was the buccs game the week one game where he was saved by the personal foul? |

Yes

You know what's funnier than people arguing about Geno?
People clinging to hope that Bray will ever be anything. |

After the year he's had, we're just going to pencil him in at LT because "that's the plan?" I'd rather see them keep it just like it was yesterday. |

I think you can better follow current trends (I think we need to keep focusing on long, athletic DBs) doing it that way as well. |
The reason why Donald Stephenson looks better than Eric Fisher right now is because he's been in the NFL longer. He has experienced a real NFL offseason to get stronger.
Eric Fisher has slowly gotten better and it's very noticeable. He did a very respectable job against JJ Watt aside from one play and he did a great job on Von Miller for the most part. If there is anyone struggling on the OL right now it's Rodney Hudson. The guy is just not big or strong enough to compete against good DT's/NT's. |
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. |

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 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. |

The kid needs to step up his ball security if he wants to have any chance at playing postseason games. He faces an absolute murderers row to finish the year.
@Carolina Cleveland @Miami If he steps his game up and effectively protects the ball, he has a chance. If he doesn't, he is gonna have little to no chance of keeping his job next year. |

The Panthers and Browns defenses are elite units in this league. Miamis defense is pretty good, too. Carolina's defense is 2nd Cleveland's defense is 7th Miamis is 16th In scoring.. Carolina's defense is 1st Miamis is 9th Cleveland's is 19th. The kid needs to show the ability to rise to the occasion. |

Draft your quarterback - trade/sign a vet A discussion this fanbase has been asking about since the beginning of time. |
The Geno crew always said we would have taken ANY R1 QB. Geno just happened to be the flavor of the offseason.
