Joeckel was an issue of pride. Everybody told us to draft Joeckel the entire 2012 season while Albert was doing pretty well at LT. It was the whole, "You've got a 2-14 team with a decent LT who just needs a new contract. You have the #1 overall pick. Save the hassle of negotiating a new deal... just draft an OT at #1!"
And that was being said to fans of a 2-14 team.
It made me puke with anger during the season to hear draft dweebs like Kiper suggest that.
It turns out Fisher was even worse, but Joeckel was the poster boy. We had been brainwashed to associate him with all the worst things about the world. His very name turned was a trigger for emotional torture, like Beethoven's 9th was in Clockwork Orange.
****, and you think about B14ckm0n? Remember that troll? I laughed and laughed when the Jaguars drafted Joeckel and that turd got raped by his own dildo. That douchebag would still be trolling these forums if we had drafted Joeckel.
Joeckel was the better player, but **** that shit right now. I still don't give a gnat fart about that. The pick was already ruined when we traded what we did for Alex Smith and basically told Albert, "Here's a tag. You have one year to get your shit moved out."
