[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 675638, member: 7277"] I don't think many people are disappointed to see Sitton go based on personal attachment. I think in his case it has a lot more to do with performance. While I don't deny that what you are talking about exists among fans, I personally don't get too attached to individual players, much like yourself. I admit it was a bit of an adjustment not seeing Favre under center in 2008, but I fully supported Thompson in that move. I don't see many similarities between that situation and this one, and again, I don't think that's why people are upset about Sitton. I mean, Donald Driver was one of the most beloved Packers of this era, and people were sad to see him go, but for the most part, they got it -- he just wasn't productive enough anymore. Sitton was. I am certain that some explanation exists and this move wasn't done on a whim, but it doesn't mean that the explanation would convince me that it was a good move. Given Sitton's history with this team and reputation it's very difficult for me to believe that he was any sort of locker room distraction. I am not in denial of this move, I have accepted it and will continue to root for the Packers to reach the Super Bowl, and will root for the success of Lane Taylor or any LG for the Packers this year. That said I certainly feel much less confident in the composition of our offensive line than I did a week ago. So in the absence of a reasonable explanation (or any explanation, for that matter), I'll continue to think this was a poor move. I mean, come on, I think there were 2 people (Pike and Scotland, I believe) who even hinted prior to this move that something like this could happen. Most of the rest of us, if we were told a week ago Sitton would be cut, would have thought that was insane. I still think it was. Anyone besides the aforementioned two that doesn't think it was now, is simply rationalizing after the fact that since Thompson actually did it, it must not be so crazy. Hey, if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, that's your right. But those who think it was a mistake still have a right not to, as well. [/QUOTE]
