I really thought he'd be a damn good player but for whatever reason it didn't really come together for him.

You look at guys like Tomlinson, Cooper and Erving and you realize that this 'OL is the safe pick in the 1st' shit has just always been the dumbest thing. There's no more guarantee that these guys will develop than there is that a WR or even QB will.

And you also appreciate Fisher's growth a little more. He's truly gotten better every season where some of these guys simply crapped out from the word go or plateaued immediately.

Did you happen to see Luke Joeckel when we were playing the Seahawks?
