But we do have to understand he didn't play against top collegiate competition before, let alone NFL level competition. He's also not playing his natural position. I kind of feel like he should be playing LT now because he will be our LT of the future, Branden Albert's ego be damned.

But you also are afraid of the "shades of Trezelle Jenkins" feeling, where Whitlock wrote that memorable column about how he hated the pick, and Gunther gave him this big spiel, showing him game film and saying how Tree's problems were all technique and they could coach him up.

Who knows what'll happen... there's probably no use slicing each other up about it.

I guess I don't understand why goatse feels the need to gloat when someone on our team goes out there and fails. Why take pleasure in that?

The same people calling him a pussy for a possible injury are the same ones not speaking a word about guys like Geno and Mingo also being injured this preseason. The same people who (even if they didn't want to draft a RT) blasted picking Joeckl over Fisher because he was safer, are the same ones bitching that Fisher is less NFL-ready than Joeckl.

there are people that set this unrealistic expectation that he has to be some star, injury-free player from the get-go, which everybody knew he was not going to be.

If you want to evaluate Fisher play-by-play, great, let's have that discussion. But it's never going to be a discussion if there are people that set this unrealistic expectation that he has to be some star, injury-free player from the get-go, which everybody knew he was not going to be.

Are we not suppose to take note about how bad he's been playing? Or are we suppose to notice it and just be quiet about it on a forum?

Because when people are pushing the agenda that the pick should have been Geno instead of Eric Fisher, then yeah, it becomes extremely hypocritical when you rag on one guy for playing injured and not the other.

**** that. I just want the guy to be good. Like right now.
