    Walter Jones has not had that good of a year. And I was under the impression Clady was having a great year. Gross seemed mediocre-to-above-average but not the best in the league. Maybe this would mean something if coaches had a say rather than journalists.

    Gross received 34 votes, as much as everyone else combined other than Roos.


    He's had a good year. He anchors too deep, but it's not counted as pressure, and his false starts were a minor issue. I feel like people have been specifically down on him because of the contract he's going to receive, but his value is pretty high above replacement and finding a similar player on that level available will be fairly close to impossible save for trade.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't believe he's the single best offensive tackle in the league this year, by any means. But agreement on whether he's elite and agreement as to what contract he deserves are two different things. He's been at LT before and faltered, whereas this year he specifically had good sack numbers and we were good running in his hole.
