Quote:Curious why you bother to "take away the last game" in your defense. He played did he not? It counts does it not? He was abused all day. Additionally, he sat out 2 games of the season.

 

Perhaps the left tackle is not developed in college as it once was, so be it. It does not negate the fact all the other left tackles in the league came out of the same college ranks.  It's also true that left tackle is a pro bowl position and Joeckel is not amongst them. There are left tackles voted to the pro bowl, but he aint there. So being drafted 2nd overall he should be amongst them.

If statistically at my job, I have 15 good days and 1 bad day, it happens. If I'm to evaluate an employee, I will say, overall his body of work is solid. He's not elite, but he's worth the money and to maintain the position. Football is to be viewed in the same regard. 

 

If a player's overall body of work is good, he does his job and prevents sacks, which he only allowed 2 all year, then had 1 bad game where he let 4 happen or whatever it was. [BLEEP] happens. He's human just like anyone else.
