All-Time Favorite Bobcat OL - Final Vote!

Since we can only vote for one but will take the top five, this one could be interesting. Possibly the first position group where the winners will have more pre-Grobe players than Grobe and subsequent.

Voting ends 4/26.

Herman is the runaway favorite, with a giant cluster behind him. I guess we can have an extra OL for the jumbo package.

Or you could have a elimination runoff among the four people tied for 3rd....

This poll and the nomination thread is whats wrong with football, the average fan cannot appreciate the work that these guys put in. We've had many great linemen over the years who never even got a nomination, which we can discuss at lenght all the skill guys. However, nothing wrong with Eric

I'd have to disagree with you, not about our level of knowledge, but about what's wrong with football. Sure, it's true that our knowledge is limited. That's a given. So what? This poll, by it's very nature acknowledges that. It doesn't take itself seriously. Note that the poll is for the "favorite", not the "best". Best is an absolute standard, while favorite is purely subjective. Someone could be our favorite player, and not be very good at all.

If this were a poll to really determine the best players, and were real awards at stake, I'd agree with you, but it's not. It's just an off-season, idle time killing, poll to stimulate conversation, and memories of past players. What is wrong with that? And, how is that something that is wrong with football?

In my opinion what is wrong with football is not that fans enjoy it, and want to talk about it even when it's not being played, but when fans start thinking they know more than they do, and start trying to be more than just fans.

LC that was a general comment, not a knock or slam on anyone on this board. Sorry if anyone took it that way. The point is the O-Line gets by far the fewest comments and respect from pretty much every fan base.

OK, sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes, though, I definitely agree. The thing is, if you count a TE as half a lineman, then 5 1/2 of the players on the offense are the big guys up front. Without them, the other 5 1/2 guys will accomplish very little, regardless of how good they are, yet few people know the names of the linemen, much less watch what they do.

I think that TV has a lot to do with the problem, since the camera always follows the ball carrier. I wish the color commentators would spend a larger portion of their time on replays pointing out just why the play did or didn't work, giving credit or blame to the guys up front.
