If the Jaguars could trade Luke Joekel for even a 3rd or 4th round pick they should do that, and then try to trade for a decent LT or give Young the starting role.

 

LOL! Sam Young is one of the worst linemen to ever play for this franchise. Do you have eyes?

Except for 1 and arguably 2 plays, Joekel played well. On 3 plays, he blocked 2 guys.

He was very inconsistent in the run game. Look at the first play where Denard runs through a huge hole created by Linder and parnell. LJ runs up the gap, towards the middle of the field and falls down unforced.


When he did get his body and arms in front of a guy he did well.

I can name 3 off the top of my head that are arguably worse:


Ephraim Salaam

Mike Pearson

Guy Whimper

Suprised that TJ Yeldon is ranked 2nd without even playing in the preseason game as of yet.

Dishonorable mentions go out to Rackley, Britton, McClendon, and Brewster.

Make the Jags Great Again
Blake Bortles......YOU'RE FIRED!
Dave Caldwell.....YOU'RE FIRED!

For those whining about the fanbase being tougher on Joeckel compared to Parnell. Please do understand this, he was a top three draft pick entering his third year and he's been highly inconsistent whether it was due to injuries or lack of ability to workout during the off-seasons. Therefore, the fanbase is going to be a lot more harsh on him compared to a guy playing at a less premium position on a new system still gelling with new teammates in a new system. And, consider this, he completely got WHOOPED by Harrison and allowed Bortles to take a critical hit that resulted in a fumble. That's why he's getting dinged a bit more. And I can understand that completely.

 

Bortles impressed me though with his response by getting 16 or 17 yards on the next hook-up to A-Rob for the 1st down. That's what you want to see in your franchise QB. The one play where he stepped up and avoided two potential defenders on a would be sack and just missing Hurns for the TD was the most impressive play of the night. As they said though, take back the drops and the kid was basically perfect on the night. It's early, I won't get overly excited, but if he can play like that all year we'll be in business.

So in a way he propped up Bortles confidence by putting him in a bad situation to let him get out of it. Hes secretly a genius!

Parnell was a human wall. On a screen pass he managed to slow down three guys on his own. One play he threw the linebacker 10 yards across the floor. That grading system is a disgrace and the people behind it should feel bad.

Yea Parnell was praised for his play, and even with the -1 for the penalty he would still be -1.2 lol these clowns dont know what everybody assignments are

Before Britton hurt his back, he was solid.

I don't think people understand that the guy we replace him with could be much worse.

 

He's not perfect, but he's far from serviceable.

Seriously. It's not like there's a LT Parnell sitting out there waiting for us to sign him. There's not a better option than LJ right now.


I'd rather have a bad play here and there than a turnstile like we had at RT last year
