In case you hadn’t heard, the FanSided network is holding a tournament to decide which division’s teams have the best players. In preparation for this epic showdown, the network’s NFC North bloggers have been working out our own divisional all-star team. Many of the picks were easy. But some have required us to turn to the fans to make up our minds. Bear Goggles On, our Chicago Bears blog, has been hosting a poll to determine the All-Division quarterback.

But, sometimes a cause arises which forces us to put aside our differences and come together for the betterment of all.
