As far as actual play; he was an average RT. Don't know that he would have been cut if he'd have shut his mouth.

Shit, some here think that's all we should get from the first pick in the draft...

I honestly think its impossible to overstate how bad he was in that game. That may have been more condensed suck into a single half than I've ever seen from a tackle; Barry Richardson and Jordan Black included.
There was a play where the TE got chipped inside, turned around and pushed backwards into Fisher (who had disengaged from his block) and Fisher f
ll down. He ****ing fell down when a player got pushed into him.
And anyone with anything remotely resembling a speed rush blew by him.
When I watched that game in real time I was extremely concerned with Smith's passing. And really, I remained concerned when I watched it again (he had 2 very bad plays where he just refused to get rid of the ball). But man, 1/2 those drop backs he had absolutely no chance because Fisher was able to do nothing.
I was floored by how ineffective Fisher was.
EDIT: I see Clay Gif'd him up. Yeah, I forgot to mention the other play where he fell flat on his ass.
He was incredibly bad.

I saw the same thing in the 49ers game that I saw in practice when people were telling me "it wasn't that bad, I was there too" and other nonsense.
When I was describing how badly Austen Lane was "walking him like a dog" I wanted to throw up.
It's sad that he doesn't seem to have improved at all since those days I was at camp.
The kid better get it going...

That's just a quick list of guys that he will have to face this year...and before someone says "some of those guys are gonna be on the opposite side"..recognize that DCs will move players to favorable matchups.
The guy can't block backups...how is he gonna fair against those types of players?
I'm gonna keep on saying this...Jalil Brown and Dante Robinson are gonna give up a lot of scores collectively and Alex Smith is gonna need to counter those scores by putting up points if we are to win games and Eric Fisher is a LIABILITY AS A BLOCKER and will get guys hurt if he doesn't step his game up a few levels.
How are we gonna put up a lot of points with a right tackle that's this bad and a quarterback that doesn't throw to his wide receivers?
