I really don't know why I'm diving into this den of dregs...but here goes:

 

Monroe was quoted, more than once, as being ready to move on when he was a FA. There is strong speculation that Daryl Smith was the same, ready to move on and spend his last few years on a contender. Dave "letting them go" as if he could just snap his fingers and keep them is quite a misnomer. Also, Monroe was a little below average when we traded him, good for the rest of that year, and then very bad again last year. If we had kept him everyone would be whining for him to get the boot even worse than you are for Joeckel.

 

Knighton was NOT good as a Jaguar. -20 PFF grade while he was here. Regardless of what you think about PFF, they aren't wrong by that much. He was quite good once he got to Denver, but it is unlikely that transformation would have happened if he had stayed in Jax. 

 

Joeckel > Monroe, Telvin > Daryl for the future, Marks >>>>> Knighton while in Jax. I don't get the problem.
