Quote:If it's "well duh?" Why are you even asking? Why would you ask me if I would get rid of the LT for nothing and risk getting someone even more terrible. If there was a for sure FA on the market that was better than Joeckel (not hard to be), then I would trade him and grab the FA. Monroe left at the end of 2012. So no, that's not the span of one year. The entire line was playing in a different blocking scheme, guess that goes to show how little you know about the team if you had to ask this question. The entire line was atrocious, it wasn't just Beadles. Linder was the only bright spot. And I think Joeckel is a trash-can at the moment. He's going to have to play like a franchise Tackle like Parnell for me to make me change my mind. And all you'll hear is me saying how delusional and idiotic you all sound. You can't sit here and say he is good, and everything is fine. He isn't playing like a franchise LT and we'll have to address the issue once again in the draft next year. Wow, drafting another lineman in the 1st round... How exciting. My problem is with the people that defend him and say everything is fine, give him more time. We don't have more time, this is it. This is the year he makes or breaks.

 

You could have answered like CSO14 in the post immediately above yours. Instead of offering what your solution would be, you piss and moan. and then say I am delusional for saying everything is fine (which I have repeatedly not done, indeed even asked for a reference to ANYONE who has done so in this thread). CSO14 I understand, and though I disagree, I get where he is coming from. You, however, still just sound like you are mewling away. We at least agree on the last sentence in your post. But of course, I said the same a while back. 

And if Beadles improved so much in a year (clearly implied by you saying it wasn't 'just' Beadles last year,  that he has markedly improved, and that Monroe could have gone downhill in 0-20 something games [your quibbling notwithstanding - end of 2012, really?], you are still dodging the question. But that's OK, keep wishing for that pony.
