You do sound critical and there are some threads that I don't post my opinion in the #1 thread post on purpose. The reason is often that I don't want to bias that thread in any certain direction. I do often add my own view sometimes after enough sides have been presented.

Some have followed my lead, while others have continued to be non-exclusive with their post...
This thread ask for a specific player that you feel will raise their level of play in 2018 and be the Packers new shining star.

No where does it say "an emerging talent" must be exclusive, which is even more confusing since the very first post is not held exclusive to a single player, and last year's emerging talents were not exclusive.
I was non-exclusive, talking about a number of "emerging talent" like the thread asked for. If you want to talk about new shining star, that's a completely different subject, as it basically eliminates young linemen, like Martinez has gotten more shine than Clark, and no OL has a shot to shine brighter than the WRs.
The new shining star is Jimmy Graham or the new #3 WR (who ever steps up there). Maybe WR Clarke or Allison? But shining stars is different than breakout or emerging talents.
