Seriously, in whatever profession/job you guys/gals are in - were you experts at it in your first year of doing it? Be serious. You weren't. And you probably weren't being compared with or competing with the "best of the best" in your field, as NFL players are every week. There's a learning curve involved in any career. It's flat out stupid to deny it and to expect that there won't be ups and downs along the way.

 

I not only agree with this but again, combine it with the fact that Joeckel is coming off a broken leg last year. People assume its a seamless recovery, but its not. It takes time for players to get back to their "normal" coming off of that injury. 

 

I remember Mike Quick actually never did seem to fully regain his old form after breaking his leg, but thats unusual. Usually it just takes a bit of time.
