I agree that there hasn't been much of an offense to speak of, but where does this "inability to develop quarterbacks" come from? The former doesn't validate the latter. When your quarterbacks are Bradford, Clemens, Hill, Davis, and Keenum, where does the opportunity arise to turn them into elites? Who's been able to do that with any of those guys? Is it because Goff took 10 games to learn the intricacies of a pro-style NFL offense?
Mike Martz with one off-season took Jon Kitna and turned him into a 4k a year monster.
Sorry, brother, but I just gotta disagree. At no point has Fisher EVER developed a QB. McNair wasn't developed as a QB, but more as a playmaker who thrived because they could power run so successfully with Eddie George. The only pocket QB who he had any success with was a long time veteran who's development he had nothing to do with, Kerry Collins. And regardless of whether he wanted Vince Young or not, once he was on the roster, he needed to develop him. Did he? No. Not even close. It actually look in retrospect like he was so upset about being forced to take Young that he refused to develop him. And Young's play showed just that. So, if you go through his 22 years of HC experience, he's got zero examples of developing ANY QBs. Not a draft pick, not a back up...no one. That's almost an accomplishment in and of itself.
Mike McCarthy... Asshole Face... Josh McDaniels (especially this season the first 4 games using what? 3 different players at QB and going 3-1) Kyle Shanahan.... Jim Bob Cooter... JIM HARBAUGH (can we really forget how he had Colin Kaepernick playing like a Pro Bowl QB? Kaep??? At a Pro Bowl level???)
There are PLENTY of guys in this league who've been able to coach up QBs immediately.
Fisher never did it. Now... on defense, it's a totally different issue.
But to try and state that Fisher ever developed a QB is just factually incorrect.
And THAT was why prior to the draft I was so confused as to why he'd want to pick a QB to develop.
It'd be like me picking for my next car...a kit car that I'd need to build myself. I've never built car myself. Ever. I have no tools, expertise or experience.
Hopefully, with the next choice, they go with someone who has developed QBs.
And I'll continue to buy pre-assembled vehicles...
