I wonder how his piers around the league feel about Kuhn's selection?

But then again, I don't think Troy Aikmen and Michael Irivin belong in the Hall of Fame.

The dude can cut and change direction on a dime, and he's solid in pass pro. It just bothers me when they swing a pass out to him on third and long, because he's so damn slow. The entire stadium could converge on him by the time he gets to the first down marker.

I often wondered how the Packers would have fared with Aikman instead of Favre. Yeah, Favre won a lot of games with great throws but he messed a lot of them up as well. Aikman was more like Starr and I wonder how a game manager would have done with that team as compared to the gunslinger.

As far as Kuhn goes its the popularity contest thing kicking in along with name recognition, the diminished use of a true fullback and the fact that with the way winter started here in Wisconsin we Packer fans had nothing better to do than vote for him a bazillion times.

Where is Corey Linsley's probowl berth? Heard about it for weeks how he was a probowl C. Another case of us overvaluing our own?

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm not saying Linsley is a pro bowl quality center (don't know enough about lineman to say either way), but its rare that rookie linemen make it in unless they are top 10 picks and have name recognition.
