Anyone else see this?

He's picking the All-Pro team for 2012. Rules are no one over the age of 27 and if you're in college you must be in your fourth year. He also chose 3 D-lineman and 4 LBs.

QB: Young - Can't argue this one
RB: Jackson - It's gotta be either him or Bush.
FB: Leonard - Also a fine pick I suppose
WR: Calvin Johnson - Probably a no-brainer
WR: Anthony Gonzalez - Huh? Colston, Fitzgerald, Williams, Evans, Johnson...?
TE: Gates - Might be tempted with Vernon Davis by 2012.
LT: Jason Peter - Would have gone with Marcus McNeill.
LG: Shaun Andrews - Sure.
C: Nick Mangold - Another no-brainer
RG: Eric Dielman - Prolly would have gone with Mankins
RT: Joe Thomas - Not a bad pick, though I'd go with Jamaal Brown.

DE: Calais Campbell - Fits a 4-3, not a 3-4. Luis Castillo or Ty Warren would be better. But if I'm choosing the DEs I think will be best in '12 I'm gonna first go with Mario Williams.
DT: Amobi Akoye - Sorry, this is Tommie Harris's spot.
DE: Jarvis Moss - Another weird one. So he gets the nod over Will Smith or Gaines Adams?
OLB: Terrell Suggs - I think he's sort of a one trick pony but I'm fine with it. Maybe I'm a homer but I like Hawk more on the outside
MLB: Ernie Simms - OK.
MLB: Patrick Willis - Jon Vilma?
OLB: Shawne Merriman - No brainer
CB: Darrelle Revis - Would have gone with Hall (though I admit he's overrated) or Cromartie.
SS: Eric Weddle - Another head scratcher. Sean Taylor? Troy Polamalu?
FS: Laron Landry - I'll give you that one.
CB: Nnamdi Asomugha - I can also live with this one.

K: Stephen Gostkowski - Sure.
P: Mat McBriar - Never heard of him but sure.

I know this was just done for fun in a column but I don't know how you can rate anyone who hasn't played a down.

Agreed. 2012? Isn't that the year some are forecasting the end of the world -Myan calendar thing.

Don't agree with the Picks either

RB- Adrian Peterson (if healthy), you have the kid from Arkansas coming out, or even slaton.

Wr-Gonzalez? Made because of peyton, but he will be in his late 30's.

TE-Vernon Davis (gates will be 32/3)

OT-D'Brick

Using a 3-4, should use a more used 4-3 (Hawk should be there) and Ryans over Simms.


DE-Gaines Adams has looked great early

His DBs are all Rooks from this year? Funny

Yea, half of his team has no NFL experience. Very weird.
