this is your worst hot take in awhile. You're ok with kicking one of our franchise corner stones on and off the field to the curb for a rookie who's never played a down in the NFL.....oh yea and that guy just wants to be compensated like he should be. 

Did I say that? It would help with contract negotiations and getting Olsen to camp, not cutting him. Breathe a little before posting.

But Howard hasn't proven anything either and the same could be said about him.

Apparently my point wasn't clear. I'm not suggesting something stupid like we should have drafted Howard and then cut Olsen. I'm only saying that, if we had O.J. Howard on the roster right now, it would have been a lot harder for Olsen to threaten to holdout.

Rinse and repeat as needed.

Luke is the best player on the team, and is one of the best MLB's to ever suit up....Cam isn't there yet, and neither is KK.

I think the best players on the team right now are 1:  Luke, then it gets a little murky with Olsen, Kalil, Cam, and KK.

Cam isn't fine tuned from a position stand point like Olsen.  Cam has holes in his game that Luke doesn't. 

Big picture, I still think Cam is the most important player on the roster.   Partly because of his position and partly because despite being still a bit raw or inconsistent....Cam's ceiling to impact a game is just unique (historically unique maybe)

Cam is by far the most important player to this team's success, but I stand by the fact that he's not our "best" player.  If Luke has a bad game we can still win....Cam has a bad game, and it's awfully tough for us to get that W.

I'm trying to think of the QB's that are the best players on their teams.... Rodgers and Brady are the two that jump out at me....with possibly Brees being there as well.

I agree.  Wasn't really disagreeing with the other post but just wanted to add my Cam take. 

In terms of best actual players (and not all positions impact the game the same)...based on recent seasons Thomas Davis remains forever underrated.  Past couple seasons, he is right behind Luke and the gap ain't that big despite the media/perception being so different IMO.
