Quote:I feel like Left Tackle is one of those positions you can't leave untouched going into the season if you think your current starter isn't looking so hot. According to a majority of this board Luke Joeckel is awful.

 

So my question is, how desperate are the Jaguars when it comes to adding starter-level insurance before the regular season? Do you think it'll happen?

 

Do the Jaguars themselves feel they have a problem?

They (the coaching staff, you know the ones who get paid lots of money to do their job) have talked about how he's not where he needs to be, but he's improving. 

 

Our expectation on him was too great, he's the #3 pick in really just his 2nd year cause he lost a lot of his first year and within that year changed positions from RT to LT. 

 

So he's not gotten a fair shake in terms of legit development. You could say that last year was his rookie year almost, and this is his 2nd year. I will see him fail at his job, but do see his improvement as well. I admit to be concerned at the slowness of development, but I remain optimistic.
