I'm betting if it was entirely up to Fischer they would've drafted someone or signed a FA to compete with Bradford. Not a bum like Hill.
You would think if Bowman's in there (which all indications are that he will be back later in the season) he knocks that down a bit. But Murray's a 1500 yard caliber RB if he stays healthy and he'll be doing that to a few teams this season. If anything they looked a lot better yesterday than they looked at the start of last season. The prevalent thinking was that the Niners would be solid by season's end but the question was whether or not they would dig themselves too big a hole early on to be able to climb out of this time. They not only look capable of holding down the fort but might actually stay ahead of the 8 ball throughout. If they do, just don't count them out. You saw what happened and how close they stayed with us last year after everyone wrote them off.
That's the reality of life as a head coach. The fans need a whipping boy if things go bad and owners typically offer up the coach. The coach gets fired so "something's being done" and the fans are happy. But if the Rams fire Fisher, then they deserve to stay at the bottom. Best coach that franchise has had since John Robinson, or Chuck Knox for that matter.
6 looks about right.
