But I also think there's a thresshold level of athleticism required for playability. I don't think Hitchens has fallen below that level so I'd be happy to have him back and let him round out that LB corps.
But Sorensen has fallen below that level. When national broadcasts are pointing him out and talking about how teams are just locating and attacking him, it's pretty bad. You've got Riddick and Manning specifically noting that teams are finding him and going after him. Writers for national sites are tweeting out "The Packers have 5 days to teach Jordan Love who Daniel Sorensen is..."
It's just beyond satire at this point. He just can't do the job. He's not an NFL player anymore.

Hell someone on Twitter (I think it was) even pointed out other teams are scheming their offensive play calling specifically to get us into dime JUST to get Sorenson on the field to exploit him. Then they run hurry up so we can't sub him out.
You're right about the satire....if it were any team other than ours it would be freaking hilarious, but it's not so it isn't at all.
