In the 2012 season, Incognito was awarded this honor by the South Florida Chapter of the Pro Football Writers Association, alongside teammate Reggie Bush.
Apparently "helping the media do it's job" is giving them something to write about.
cannon was not the #1 RG at any point.
The team has consistently played him almost exclusively at T. He has played G only in a pinch.
Patriots third-year OL Marcus Cannon opened training camp as the starting right guard.
He appears to have overtaken Dan Connolly, who can play both guard and center and will now be the top interior backup. New England quietly finished second in the NFL in rushing attempts in 2012, and Cannon's promotion may indicate a greater lean on their power-running offense. Cannon is a 358-pound mauler.

This is what I was referring to in my post.
How much value do you put on speculation from what was seen on the first day of camp that turned out to be wrong?

I am not sure it was wrong, he suffered an injury and Connolly returned.
That aside, I do not see any benefit in us debating the logistics. I believe Cannon can start at RG and perform at a high level. Should I assume you do not agree?
Since he never was the starting RG, the speculation on day 1 of camp that he was, would be, by definition, wrong.
You can assume whatever you want. I'm talking about what is actual. Cannon has been a T since he was drafted and only played G in a pinch.
You want a player who can play the game. However, the character of the player is also another important aspect. I feel Incognito is a bad role model and has issues he needs to work on. Thus, I say No to signing Incognito.
There are already alot of Good role models in the NFL. However, I feel we need more good role models in the NFL.
With the Wells report now out and saying not only was the harrasment and bullying of Martin true but that Incognito (and some other players) directed similar actions towards an assistant trainer I think we can close the door on this idea - if it wasn't already closed.

Basically you don't want to discuss whether or not Cannon could start at RG. You just want to argue who is right or wrong, well if it means that much to you, you can be right.
I'm really trying to make an effort to eliminate the animosity between us Andy, some effort on your end would go a long way.
Umm, i made an effort by taking you off ignore. If it will lead to more of this, I'll reverse it.
My position is that BB appears to see Cannon as a T. I did not take your blurb of speculation as a reason to change that opinion.
I'm not sure why this deserves any more attention than that. I don't see value in discussing players changing positions unless there is an indication its realistic.
