Quote:Nope, he didnt. One of the doom and gloom es around here. I'd just let him continue to dwell in his dark, dark place. Any educated person that realizes LT isn't what it once was can tell you Joeckel is middle of the pack and hes decent enough out there for now.


No one's saying he good, but getting beat once or twice a game is going to happen to most every lineman. If you would put an average Joeckel game in there for that Texans game I doubt there'd be close to this much hate. But, because he had one terrible game he's like the worst LT of all time.


Makes perfect, logical sense.

^I certainly agree with this.


Joeckel can be much better, that's for sure. But, he's not near as bad as some make him out to be. It's unfortunate that his worst game of the year (yes, it was terrible) happened to be the very last one of the season. That's the lasting image of Joeckel until next season.


Prior to that game, he was not that bad this year. Giving up 1 or 2 plays a game is going to happen even to the best LTs in the game. Heck, Andrew Whitworth gets a crucial holding penalty and false start almost EVERY SINGLE GAME. However, I'd sure be happy of he was the Jaguars LT.


Joeckel is good enough for now. He needs to get better, yes. If he doesn't get better, he won't be around for too many more seasons. But he will still be here for the forseeable future.
