[Smidgeon]

Josh Sitton will be announced as the best Offensive Lineman in the NFL...unless they pull a Polamalu.

Further down in the article, it talks about KO returns, Shields and Lee. I'd like to see Lee back there.

Look, another playmaker/elite player emerges AFTER a team makes the superbowl...last year we had no playmakers.

This is an award from the NFL alumni association. I won't get excited until I hear from FedEx

Of all the award sets that are given, this one is one of the lower profile ones, but may have more credibility than a lot of the others. The NFL alumni vote by position, former linemen vote for the lineman award, former QBs for the QB award, etc. At least these guys have an idea what is expected of a player at a particular position, because they vote only for the position they played.

Why do you do this? No need for this.

Thompson is a great GM, but his focus on the OL hasn't been an A+, has it?

Psst. I think it's a joke. "Fire TT Now" is obviously a nonsensical response to 4th round pick being voted as the best OL in the league by his peers in his third year as a player.

Whoa...sarcasm switch flipped off today?

The picture at the top of that article, where Sitton's looking at something on Kuhn's phone, and they're both laughing...ya think they got ahold of Brent's pics to Jenn?

I was thinking the same thing, amazing how that works isnt it?

Joe, your uber sensitivity has kicked in again. And yes, he drafts linemen in every draft, I think he is supremely focused on the OL. I have read TT bashing for years. On all boards. I havent agreed with most of it. Ted Thompsons ultimate responsibility is personnel. If one of his guys gets some league wide recognition, TT should get some credit. That was my way of pointing out some of the absurdity that has filled this and other boards about TTs decisions.

Seems pretty fair to me. The "Fire TT" crowd has focused on the OL as a reason he sucks, because that's what they see as Thompson's weakest point personnel-wise. Now one of his OL guys just won an award as "NFL Offensive Lineman Of The Year".

"Fire TT" = "Yet another part of the tenacious anti-Ted Thompson group's theory has been debunked."

Since when is it bad for a Packer fan to defend the Packers' GM on a Packer forum?
