Gz to A.p Winner of rookie of the year i feel there was no 1 near him and it was odds on he was gona win
I agree..........but o-linemen NEVER get the recognition they deserve.Joe Thomas had a monster year for the Browns... very solid left tackle and held up very well. In the very least it should have been close between Thomas and AP... but because Thomas didn't have flashy stats and media hype surrounding him.. he got basically blanked in the voting.
MVP should go to the most valueable player, hard to argue that Thomas didn't have the biggest impact on his team. He was part of the biggest turnaround in the league.. the Brown offensive line play. :twocents:
I don't think he was talking down about A.P., just saying the Vikings line is good, along with their full back (didn't he get injured?).
If you don't believe me, watch the Packers run blocking for probably about half the season, and the trouble we have had solidifying the lineup. A.P. is special, but the vikings OLine is pretty darn good. Also, it seemed like 2-3 teams near the end of season, even the 49'ers, found a way to totally shut him down. He should be a little more consistent. Also, have Chester Taylor along your side doesn't hurt either.
Either way, the guys got a very bright future and is a very exciting player.
The Vikings line is good...but not that good. I watch them every game. Adrian Peterson had two 200 yard games. Adrian Peterson broke the single game rushing record against a very tough Chargers defense...and would have had more if it were not for a horse coller. He did all of this as a rookie, injured for 2 games, oh and by the way as a backup for half the year. Adrian Peterson is the future of the NFL. It would be like a Packer fan to belittle the mans amazing accomplishments by speaking on the offensive line. Joe Thomas is good. He was a solid pick. However with the weapons in the WR corps and at QB....Adrian Peterson would have put them in the playoffs with a bye. Go ask a Browns fan. As far as "value" is concerned...If it were not for Peterson, the Vikes would be picking in the top 5 this year. Who was the last RB that made defenses put 8 & 9 players in a box every play to stop him? God I can't wait for a QB!

If there's one man I don't want to see in the open field against us, it's AP. Well, probably tied with Randy Moss.
AP's cuts and direction changes are downright beautiful to watch. I love watching the guy, except when he's playing against us of course.
Zombie I think you have to be the best Packer fans I have ever conversed with...throws my theory right out the window. You always look at things without the olive & mustard glasses.
Probably wouldn't mind meeting you in person one day. Good luck in the playoffs.
[align=left]Joe Thomas should get the award, he have been solid the whole season, and me as a Browns fan, couldn´t be more happier to have him on the team. The best O-lineman this year for the Browns and no doubt the best offensive rookie of the year.[/align]
