I now see the light.  Joeckel is young and destined for stardom.  In Caldwell we trust!

I'm not saying anything of the sort, but hey, feel free to twist it however you need to in order to make yourself feel a little better. 

 

We don't know what Joeckel will develop into at this point.  Most here would have expected him to be further along in the process, but that hasn't happened.  We'll see if it starts to click for him.  He's not nearly as bad as people like you want to label him, but he's not living up to the draft pick.  The problem with that mindset (living up to the draft pick) is that he didn't draft himself.  He didn't opt to play RT as a rookie when he was a natural LT.  He didn't intentionally have his leg rolled up on in his first and only start as a rookie at LT. 

 

The jury is still out because Joeckel is still at the point where he can be developed.  At this point with Eugene Monroe, we were seeing similar complaints.  He managed to become a serviceable starting LT in the league.  Nothing special, but not a disaster either.  If we get there with Joeckel, that's good enough.
