Didn’t he play for Reid in Philadelphia?

At the end, yes, but I wonder how much the daily grind of being an NFL quarterback was beaten out of him by that point.

I was thinking that as well. Chow was OC and Fisher a former USC all-american. I think Bud Adams wanted VY and that was his pick. Not Fisher and Chow.

Yep. Norm Chow and Matt Leinart have both been on the record stating that they expected Leinart to be the pick.

He tried to ruin the movie Rudy and I think he's overrated. I'd take Elway or Marino over Montana in a heartbeat.

Lots of so called busts managed to blossom with a change of scenery or sometimes two. 
 

There was a great A Football Life on the NFL Channel that featured VY and Leinert where both admitted they didn’t work hard enough in the pros because it came so easy for them in college. 
 

And, Jeff Fisher was an awful coach. 

Yep. More than one thing can be true.

You mean he told the truth?

Watch Wednesday's C&F when Jeff filled in for Gerry. He goes in depth on his hatred.

Tennessee has not had a starting QB play more than 5 seasons since Steve McNair. They've been most successful at derailing a promising college quarterback's career. The last 4 seasons have been especially messy, flip flopping from drafting Willis, Levis, and now Ward.

V.Y didn't fail in Tennessee, Tennessee failed him and every other QB since. 

I pray that Tenn doesn't draft Manning

It's Jeff Fisher's way or the highway. And Jeff Fisher is a .500 coach.
