Conversely, every QB but one has sucked under Jeff Fisher.

That's not really correct. Foles was great in 2013 and then went downhill in 2014 then got injured and was traded for peanuts to the rams. So obviously wasn't rated by Chip Kelly.

Didn't Jeff Fisher also get the terrible Vince Young to the probowl? Jeff Fisher must be the Blake bortles of coaching, the way he gets blame thats overly harsh. Which qbs did Fisher waste and went on to great success? Also what do the quarterbacks coaches and offensive coordinators do if everything's about the head coach?

So a 27-2 TD-INT ratio, a Pro bowl, and a playoff berth is not success?

VY got to two Pro bowls under Fisher.  Problem is, he deserved neither spot.

He made the Pro Bowl his rookie year of 2006.

He had a 51.5% completion percentage, threw for 12 TDs and 13 INTs.

He then made the Pro Bowl in 2009, with a 58.7 completion percentage, 10 TDs and 7 INTs.

Those seasons combined don't measure up to Foles' Pro Bowl season.

As to your point about Fisher taking the blame, at least one-the guy currently with the Rams-went to the Super Bowl two years removed from Fisher.

Yes, Fisher's coordinators deserve blame for not producing particularly prolific offenses.  Fisher hired them, and can't escape blame for whatever shortcomings they had.
