One can watch Colledge from 2007 through last season and watch him struggle game in and out with consistency from series to series and sometimes from snap to snap.
The guy is very capable of being a very good NFL guard, however to date, he has been marred with inconsistency in technique and his reads.. this is not a shocker.
What else is the QB of the team suppose to say in public.. the guy sucks at times?
Rodgers knows what writers, scouts and fans have to say about Colledge and his documented struggles the last couple of years.. I am sure that is why he picked that verbage.
Hopefully with a good push from the rookie this season, he finally makes good on that potential game in and out.. not just parts of each game or season.
Apparently he has earned the trust of Mike McCarthy to begin the season as the starter, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes if his recent track record of the past couple season rears it head again.
I didn't think it was much of a question that Colledge has struggled with consistency and his play during his tenure.

So you think Rodgers
HAD TO call Colledge "Mr. Consistency" because he's so inconsistent? Um, OK. Was it, like back in grade school, opposite day at Lambeau so he had to say EXACTLY the opposite of the truth? That was his only possible approach? Are his quotes about all the other OL guys total lies too?
It's not possible that he could have a different perspective than you, so he's obviously just lying to cover for his obviously VERY inconsistent teammate by calling him "Mr. Consistency."
And you say you are sure of it. Huh.
I tend to think he said it because, while not great, Colledge is fairly consistent as a decent starting LG who never misses a game. He gets beat sometimes, like most NFL guards do. That doesn't make him "inconsistent". Maybe "durable but fairly average," or "a journeyman".
I think many fans misuse terms like "consistent" pretty consistently. :albino: For Colledge to qualify as what many fans feel is consistent, he'd have to be a great player, almost never get beat, and be a candidate for the Pro Bowl. When Rodgers says it, I tend to think it means that Colledge is a solid player who generally plays OK, as long as he's not at LT.
Anyway, I just posted it because I found it interesting that the QB would say the exact opposite of what people on here take as the undeniable Gospel truth. Probably just a difference in word usage.
