Is it safe to say he was over rated the last couple years he played at this point? 4 games in and we nearly forgot that he left us with "huge hole" to fill with the surprise retirement.

No, a better conclusion would be his skills were wasted for years playing in the wrong position. He should have never left his natural position.
BJ would be doing well with the current roster playing NT. Problem they have now is the roster moves necessary to bring Pennel and Goodson back.
Some are speculating Jared Abby will be cut, based primarily on the fact he's been a total afterthought and the only WR who's gotten 0 snaps on offense. I still don't get it.
I'm guessing Price and hoping wrong route Janis. Goodson will take his place on special teams.
I'm guessing DT Brian Price and S Marwin Evans. Both would likely clear waivers and be brought back to the PS.
Cut Abby that would be a brilliant move. Cut Monty too. He's not getting any reps at WR either.
Keep Duhvante - we all know he's poised to make the next step lol
Dude has to have pictures of MM in compromising positions or something. They didn't have this much patience with T Buck and Ahmad Carroll.
Davante has actually been better than last year. Of course, that's like saying getting kicked in the face is better than getting kicked in the balls.
I get bringing Monty back slowly. He had a rough injury and almost no offseason training. But I just don't get Abby. He's been so productive when he's played and is the easily the best route runner not named Jordy or Randall. How in the world does he have 0 snaps on offense?
I still think 3 QBs are a luxury. I see Callahan to the PS.
ABBY does not trust Aaron, he will not run his precise routes until he can trust that the ball will be delivered timely and in the right spot.
The odd thing with Abby, and this has been mentioned, the Coach and the Quarterback had high praise for him last season and this off-season/camp.
And Abby looked great in the pre-season. If Idot MM is "saving him" for later in the season, that is about the dumbest thing I've seen. Adams has improved, but he still does too many stupid things every game, such as not grabbing the pass because somehow he thought it was meant for someone behind him in the last game, to say nothing of the penalty that negated Cobb's TD.

Can the Packers make some kind of deal with Callahan so that if a team tries to put him on the roster, he would say "no" and stay on the Packers Practice Squad? Like a few dollars under the table? Gift Cards to Appleby's? His own table at Kroll's?
or is that illegal according to the "shield?"
ya know...you might be on to something, Y.A. It sounds crazy, but maybe they do fear more injuries at WR might be coming and want some "fresh" players later in the year. No one knows the reason...but it sure seems weird he's not playing at all.
Gotta wonder if Shields is heading to IR.

Teams can pay league minimum instead of practice squad minimum. Totally legal. Pack has done that in the past to keep PS squad players they believe have a future.
Eddie still looks chunky, and Starks is the 2016 version of Tyrone Davis, begging the question, why is he still on this team?
Need instant gratification? That's the world we live in now.
They're saving stuff, keeping guys fresh & keeping it off tape. It's the only thing that makes any sense.
BJ would fit perfectly on this DL rotation at NT.
Getting rid of the 3rd QB makes sense. Put him on PS.

you can't put that on Adams. that was AR rushing the snap to try and catch 12 men on the field. if he doesn't rush to do that, Adams would have got set, they snap and AR has another TD. but his obsession with a free play cost him a TD pass.
Adams and Cobb both lined up initially on the LOS. They motioned to each other about which needed to move off the LOS so they'd both be eligible. Adams ended up taking the step back, and as TDog posted, Rodgers rushed the play trying to catch them with 12 on the field. He's better than that, and I'd bet he saw that on the film study.
On the high pass to DA, the ball sailed on Rodgers. The fault with Adams on that is not understanding all the routes/options vs the D called to know whether there was a receiver behind him or not. The play hadn't broken down yet so all the receivers were still in their initial route based on the D opposed. He needs to have that awareness. The positive for DA, he ran a good route and was open.
I prefer to think Raji wasn't overrated; it's more like all of our other guys have stepped up.
Everyone thought the dline was going to be the D's weakness coming into the season with only Daniels and Guion having any experience. Yet here we are leading the league in rush D with a couple rookies getting decent amount of snaps in the middle. Clark, Lowry and Martinez.
I don't think Raji was worth his contract starting after the 15-1 season.
And we are playing "nickel" with only 2 d-lineman as our base defense

Why don't you wait until about week 13 before you go blowing smoke. DL depth usually starts to show about then and we may very well wish we had B J no matter what he was being paid.
Because coach Mike taught us to evaluate the season in quarters?
Nothing wrong with quitting to spend time with family.
I defer to Diggr to answer the question on Raji.
I do want to acknowledge that someone is doing a helluva a job stopping running while applying excellent pressure to QB! Who drafted all those guys?
All the Jake Ryan haters have left the building.
