[QUOTE="TJV, post: 497709, member: 4300"] [FONT=Arial]I’m worried about Lacy’s injury history but like the fact he played hurt. I do think it’s interesting there isn’t more concern expressed here for Thompson pulling the trigger on a player with an injury history that dates back to his senior year in high school. I think that is largely due to so many Packers fans wanting a stud RB and particularly wanting Lacy who many viewed as the best RB in the draft and some wanted him taken with pick #26. All I’m saying is I’ll bet there would have been more complaining if a player with the same injuries were picked at a “less popular” position.
