I don't think it's really slamming Fisher. I'm glad they brought him in in 2012. Taking a team with a 5-year win percentage of .188 and winning .430 over the next four years in the toughest division in the league at that time shouldn't be dismissed at all. And he went 10-15 (.400) with backup QBs from mid-2013 through 2014. But I think the general idea that Fisher could make a bad team mediocre but that's really about it is accurate.
I don't agree still--he had an unusual streak of injury bad luck. I mean, having viable OLs plus a starting caliber qb for only 16% of your games is just going to have an effect on winning. Now I don't know what his winning percentage would be if his injury situation was more normal. But it would have been better. So what you are calling mediocre seasons is the result of circumstances more than any other single factor.
You can say the same thing about 2019. What if the 2019 Rams had a relatively healthy, experienced, and well-stocked OL that was at least solid all season. Would it have won more than 9 games? Chances are very good that yes--of course it would have.
