[QUOTE="TJV, post: 540346, member: 4300"] I have not criticized Raji for not taking the Packers offer. In fact if he was offered anywhere near the $8M/year reported, I thank him for not taking it. I don't want him back for big money because he hasn't earned it since 2010. And here is what you posted, "Frankly this one's on Packers scouts and TT for not recognizing that he wouldn't be content eating up double teams his whole career. Pretty sure that was a concern when he was drafted..." First, that's an affirmative statement: It's on Thompson for drafting him. Second as I said before, look at his performance in 2009 and particularly in 2010. If he could still be that difference maker, the Packers would turn him loose. Same DC, same DL coach, same scheme. What's changed? Raji's performance. IOW, he had a lot of opportunities to get consistent pressure and sacks in 2011 and 2012. It was only this season that worked his way off of the sub packages. Third, before that draft I remember a lot of "experts" saying he'd excel as a NT. The only concern I remember was after wowing scouts at the Senior bowl, he didn't play that well in the game. So I would be interested in reading scouts saying he wouldn't want to eat up blocks as a 3-4 NT. [B]I[/B] have criticized Thompson (for not acquiring a vet safety before this season and for ******** up the backup QB spot, for example) and have no problem with legit criticism of him. You just are not offering legit criticism and the proof is in the play of Raji his first two seasons, particularly 2010 when he made a significant contribution to the title. That's the player Thompson and his staff drafted. It's not their fault he no longer has that fire. [/QUOTE]
