I have cited this here before and what a surprise, you missed it. Prior to his injury Bryan Bulaga was performing so well people were saying the switch from RT to LT was brilliant. Bulaga was also the only OL to not have lost a one on one battle during training camp.

IMO Packer fans have been overrating Bulaga from the get go. Not as much as they have overrated Lang and before him, ahem, Colledge and later-years Clifton, but overrating him nonetheless.
I'd be okay with Bulaga somewhere on the line
IF the OL had two other OL somewhere (instead of just one in Sitton). But to my mind he's still somewhere in the range between "serviceable" and "serviceable with
potential improvement." In other words, the upper range within which all Packer linemen not named Sitton or Tauscher have been since 2005.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
