LOL Go look at 2010 and 2011

Yep. Jake Matthews is the true stud prospect down in College Station.

I think they see Joekel as a big upgrade over Albert, not a lateral move as many have suggested.

How big of an upgrade do you expect when the guy you're replacing gave up 1 sack? Talk about marginal return.

So, option A)

Branden Albert
Geno Smith
#34 overall draft pick

VS.

Luke Joeckel
Alex Smith
#42 overall draft pick

I will take column A every day of the ****ing week.

The absolutely ONLY way they can begin to recover from this cluster**** is to trade out of the first spot with Buffalo, get a 2104 first rounder, and still get Eric Fisher.

Otherwise, what the **** was any of this for?

Not drinking the Kool-aide, just trying to cope.

He might be 7 years younger, but some guys in this thread are acting like Albert's tank is on empty. Albert should have 4-5 more years of productive play in him. So for the next 4-5 years, the move is still a wash....unless of course your only argument is that it's going to save them money....which is a lame argument imo.

We would basically trading Albert (while replacing him with a better prospect coming out of college in Joeckel) and getting Alex Smith and Ryan Nassib...

That is how am looking at it, anyway..

I doubt Reid doubles up Syracuse QBs.

Everybody knows that. Hell A&M put Matthews on the right side because he is a better run blocker than Jockel and wanted to put both of them on the field. I really don't get the hard on for Jockel at all.

Well if they take a LT 1.1, he'd better f-in be a upgrade over Albert.

Realistic or not, when you take a LT 1.1, that's what you'd better get.

The save money argument is a meh argument anyways. If we draft Joeckel...his full contract is guaranteed.

With Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn at quarterback. That makes that stat even more impressive.

What about the 9 he gave up in 2009 and 7 in 2010?

That's pissing away the best draft picks you can have.

Yep
