To the opposing defensive line.

Colledge's moment that I remember most vividly was against the Lions last year.

Sitton was manhandling Suh all game long at the RG spot... The Lions tried stunting their DTs once, Colledge let Suh slip by and Rodgers ended up on his back.

We seriously have to upgrade that LG spot and Colledge leaving should finally make that a necessity for our front office, as well, instead of banking on mediocrity.

Allen spanked Colledge and put Rodgers on his back 4 times.

Yep, that's Jared Allen. Dominant against bums, but completely invisible against any guy worth his salt. Just look at against who he got his sacks last year.

Considering how many stupid typos are in the story, I would lean toward this theory.

I will say that the management decisions of this team do leave me scratching my head sometimes. The Packers make a kicker who consistently ranks in the bottom 5 in field goal accuracy and only notched 4 touchbacks all year the second highest paid kicker in the league, but they won't even extend an offer to an inconsistent, mediocre lineman who has never missed a game in his career? Strange.

Obviously, I am not arguing that the Packers should retain Colledge. I just fail to find consistency in their patterns of when and how they decide to extend offers to veterans.

I think the difference is that a mediocre guard is easier to replace than a mediocre kicker. An upgrade would be nice at either position, but even in the worst case scenario, Colledge's replacement is not likely to be much worse than him. But at kicker, you are rolling the dice when you try to get a new one. You run the risk of getting one who's REALLY bad and who singlehandedly loses games.

I hope Crosby is not really the second highest paid kicker in the league. Maybe the contract looks bigger than it really is, and the guaranteed money is low.

And after a good night sleep, my stance on Colledge is: don't let the door hit you in the ass Daryn. You along Brandon Jackson were wasted 2nd round picks.

Please forgive me for talking about the TOPIC, but with the loss of Daryn Colledge, there goes the Packers chances of a Super Bowl repeat.

A stellar LG is like a woman or a job, you shouldn't let one go until you have a better one lined up!!!

Remember that awesome season Chad Clifton had? Yeah, it was because of Daryn Colledge, but you OL experts missed that fact.
