He probably should have retired an offseason ago but since Fisher was still around then Kerry always knew he'd have the coaching staff on his side and edging to get him in the game any way they could. Plus they paid him a stupid amount to keep him around - the last in a long line of Fisher favoured veterans.

It was a solid career but the most remarkable part was how he managed to be a starter for as long as he did. In each of his individual stops it made some sense but how he managed to find these situations can only come down to very good timing and extreme luck. He made a crap load of money for not being quite good enough at the NFL's best position. I doubt anyone so average has been a starter for so long at QB in the NFL, particularly after a very shakey start to his career.

Anyway, he was known as KFC for a reason and that was because he just could not for the life of him come up big when it counted and often did some very stupid things at key moments not reflected on the stat sheets, but he still had his moments, like that elite performance against the Steelers in the 2008 regular season.
