It wasn't my intent to argue that we should swap Matthews for Thomas in my post above. Although I would personally make such a deal, it was merely suggested to demonstrate the value of a quality LT in today's NFL.  Here was my thinking: Rodgers is our offense and keeping him healthy and upright is necessary for us to move the ball (see NYG game).  Thomas would be great in protection of Rodgers' blind side over the next several years. Also, Matthews is going to begin earning a much larger chunk of the cap in the near future, so his value will decline some after he gets his new deal. I also think it's easier to find pass rushers and tweak your defensive scheme than it is to compensate for an offensive line that can't pass protect.  For example, we've stockpiled great weapons at WR but we can't make use of them unless Rodgers can get through his progressions.  Thomas would really protect the franchise and amplify our strengths in the passing game. But, again, not my intent to highjack the thread on this ridiculous proposition.</blockquote>
