Why?
Fisher, if he's anything, is a known quantity. He's gonna be what he's gonna be. He's just entering his prime for an OL, he has no lingering injury history and there are no additional red flags around him to suggest that he's going to fall off.
I don't see any cause to believe he'll be appreciably better than he was last year or the year prior, but I certainly can't see any reason to assume he'll be worse.
And last year he was fine. He was a solid LT who was probably not quite Pro Bowl caliber but if he wasn't, he wasn't far removed either.
Being concerned over Fisher is a textbook example of borrowing worry; looking for ghosts. You can concern yourself with the fact that he isn't going to be Willie Roaf if you'd like, but that's not terribly realistic. He's gonna be the same guy he's been the last 2 seasons and if he plays all 16 games, he'll be nowhere near a top 10 list of things that are problematic for this club.
And if he is, then this team is going 16-0. If your solid, fringe pro-bowl caliber LT is one of the biggest problems you have on your team, then you're ****ing aces.
