Should the Packers Go to Colle(d)ge?

Barbre and Sitton just seem to have better physical and mental attributes to play guard.

Colladge I thought did better at LT last year when he got more practice time there. I think he will do better at LT with more practice time.

There is no good enough at LT. You have to be great to be a starting LT in the NFL. If Colledge was ready, Ted Thompson would have cut Clifton and his high salary cap number already.

Prior to Colledge being drafted I thought he would be an ideal draft pick and hoped the Packers would draft him. I was very happy when they did. He was the future LT given starting time at LG to learn and prepare.

It took Wahle and Rivera time to learn. I have been willing to give him time to learn. If he doesn't show more aptitude or more upper body strength this off season he may be on his way out.

Colledge is a starter in this league, a good player, and half the teams would want him, and he has trade value.

Is he a Super Bowl champion LT is really the question. That is a tough standard to live up to. Clifton has the Pro Bowl credentials to say he is.

Babre is talented, but apparently he became physical with a coach in OTAs and has had to work himself back into the graces of the coaching staff.

Think this is a joke, Nutz. somebody was remarking that Barbre was so buried by the coaching staff that he must have slugged somebody. It wasn't meant to be taken literally. Unless you have heard something from the Nutz Garbage Can News Service or something.

I read that Barbre had some flat out horrible practices where he gave up bull rushes to his inside foot and the coaches lost all confidence in him (per the GBPG).

Barbre is feisty, I was rooting for him to step up. Sitton, too. Those two look like they could be brawlers.

I loved Colledge at LT. He looks so much more comfortable playing T as opposed to guard. Then came the SF Pre-Season game, where he looked lost at LT.

I don't know, man. I just don't know.

I thought that someone had mentioned it here, but I also thought that they quoted from a news source, apparently this must have been fiction. The way the Packers were talking him him up I didn't expect him to be a total bag of shit this year.

Anyways, it isn't whether or not Colledge is ready, or whether or not he is good or not, it all depends on how bad Clifton gets, because he certainly isn't going to get any better.
