Daryn Colledge Surges On ESPN Twindex

by Brandon on Jul 9, 2011 2:00 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

Paul Kuharsky is keeping track of the NFL Twindex so we don't have to read every player's tweets. Green Bay Packers TE Tom Crabtree came in No. 1 last time, but bowed to the Twitter awesomeness of Browns WR Carlton Mitchell. Crabtree was still a strong second with his deep thoughts on moldy yogurt and how Google lists him next to Tom Cruise in their search suggestions.

But I was really surprised to see LG Daryn Colledge move up to No. 6 because he's relatively new to Twitter. He's surged recently with a lot more tweets as the lockout continues to drag on and bore him. Which led to the deeply reflective tweet that got him mentioned on the list.

The list isn't meant to demand quantity, Nick Barnett fell off the list as his recent tweets haven't made the cut. But as far as quantity of tweets, and number of followers, he's still near the top.

Well, I still need to be shown,

as nobody who was on the roster and didn’t start ahead of him last year has shown me yet, that we actually have a better option before I want him gone, myself.

"It's a great day to be great, baby!"

"Here I am, brain the size of a planet,
and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper.
You call that job satisfaction?
'Cause, I don't."

The Munsters of the Midway still suck!

I'll take Marshall Newhouse at this point

I’m not sold on TJ Lang either, but I think we can do better than Colledge.

In this casr,

as I said, somebody has to show it, first.
I like Newhouse, too, but he still hasn’t shown
that he is better, yet.
And, until he (or, somebody else)
does, I’d keep Colledge.

I'd keep Colledge too.

He isn’t nearly as bad as he is made out to be and has shown that he is a starting calibre LG. Are there better? sure… But theres also worse! The big thing might be the salary cap. If its as low as has been reported (120M) next year, it may be hard to keep him. I think if people who want him gone get their wish, they will be wishing he had never left!

Newhouse’s biggest weakness was that he lacked physicality when he was drafted! Expecting him to be able to play OG is asking for problems! He is much better suited for OT in that regard!

You've been Stroh'd™!!!
