Yeah, I guess you can't compare them at the same ages? Progression will of course be a to be determined area. It would only make sense though that at the same ages, points in their careers, who is/was better.

No question, yes.

I see Wentz was announced out with a "pretty bad" ankle roll.

Fisher hasn't been "generally disliked" for more than the last 5 years.

Well, one of those teams can’t seem to win the the playoffs, the other has been to 3 straight AFCCG, and 2 straight SB. He might have considered it.

If his deal is, "My dad wanted me to be a LT, damn it!" and would bark at the coaches every day for two years that he was a LT, not a RT, and eventually got fed up with it and asked for a trade, not knowing if he'd be sent to the Chiefs or a team as terrible as the Jaguars, it would seem to me that the extra playoff and winning success he'd see with KC wouldn't be good enough.

And there's nothing wrong with that. He only gets one NFL career, and he doesn't want to spend it playing RT.

I knew he'd be back very early, but I 100% think releasing him was the right move and I believe that Orlando Brown will be much better than Fisher was.

This is turning out to be a mistake

Not really, Fisher was abused last game. He's not playing well at all. But neither is Orlando brown. So who knows?

If he does not get l Mahomes killed beforehand... I don't think he'll ever be that great at past protection, he's just too slow. Maybe it run blocking. I think he's more suited for RT.

At least we wouldn’t have had to give up valuable draft capital to keep fisher- they could have picked a developmental tackle with that pick. Orlando brown needs to be benched. He’s going to get mahomes killed.
