Quote:He let go of a LT who many here, most likely you included, were demanding be released for almost his entire time here in Jacksonville.  Only in his final season and a half did he start to show signs he was at least starting to play better.  He was in a contract year, and he would have most likely been converted to a RT because they drafted Joeckel to play LT.  He wasn't going to take a RT contract.  They traded him because otherwise they would have gotten nothing with his departure, and any new contract was highly unlikely.

 

MJD?  Seriously?  The guy was done in his final season here.  That was proven out when he landed in Oakland.  Let it go.  Players get old.  They weren't giving him a new contract here.

 

He reaches often?  Really?  Says who? You? 

 

If you want to beat him up over someone like Daryl Smith, that's fine.  But Monroe?  MJD?  Gimme a break.

 

The problem I guess with LT Luke Joekel is he was GM Dave Caldwell's first draft choice (2nd overall in the draft) and it was then told to us that he would play RT only to later trade Monroe and move him to LT in which he has played poorly (you cant blame injury on a GM).

 

2013 wasnt a great draft year for many of teams so not having a ProBowl player in his draft is a pass (also has only been a couple of years).
