Levar Fisher
what do u guys think of this guy.....theres been alot of talk about all our other lb's and pick up another vet....but this guy was rated higher than peter boulerware and some of our current lb's in the free agency by some people...besides that we got hes younger and didn't hit our cap as hard as peter woul....i know he has had injury problems but so did peter and peter had a better supporting cast .....in which would free him up to make more plays.....do u guys think that uf ray lewis and company was not there he would still put up the same #'s......i think the guy is a solid lb.....got some info take a look........

RE: Levar Fisher
I think he has a lot of talent and if he could stay healthy I think that he could make a sizeable contribution to our franchise. However, I'm not sure about him being better than Peter Boulware, something tells me that even with a better supporting cast, Boulware is the better player. But I like Fisher's value and hopefully he can prove something to the coaches and to his team.

So you guys are gonna get excited about a reject from one of the only teams more pathetic than the Saints?
Pffft. Maybe the Hornets can start signing some of the Clipper's rejects too. Sorry, but I'm just a realist, dude! |

The only thing similiar between Boulware and Fisher is that they are both African American and play linebacker. It ends there. The guy hasn't stepped on the field in a couple of seasons and he's getting all this hype. Ah I remember when people were comparing Cie Grant and Ray Lewis. Sigh.

You can't sling a dead cat in this town without everyone hyping Fisher. Totally clueless boobs I tell ya. Lets keep it real shall we? Place your orders now. I got so much realism, I'm practically givin' it away. |

It would be nice if Fisher could make a contribution on the field this year, but I don't see it happening. We got him from the Cards, why would they let him go if he was a decent LB? He has put up some good numbers in the past, but I'll take the wait and see approach before I give the guy my vote.

I posted a ton on this guy earlier. Originally a WLB, he's put on weight, is still fast as hell, and should be fully recovered. I think Zona replaced him with Dansby, if I'm not mistaken.
The whole story on him was that Green thought he should have been ready to play last year after an ACL in 2003. Fisher didn't feel he was ready. He got into Denny Green's doghouse and never got out. I feel with the extra year off he should be fully recovered. When healthy he was a good LB. I think he can play SLB (he sheds blockers well and plays in traffic well) or WLB (speed and power). If he's back to 100% (nearly 2 years removed from his ACL) he could be a real player. If he's still recovering he'll be useless. |
