Re: New year, same role for Archuleta
 

Arch deluxe sucks period. He did make out like a bandit with Snyder's money. I remember watching bears highlights and him being out of position EVERY big play. What did we ever see in this guy.lol

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;389636]Actually the Bears picked up $5M of his contract bonus which helped lighten the cap hit for us.[/QUOTE]

This helped more than a bit, it was a coup really.

Our FO screwed up by bringing him here, but give them credit for cutting their losses as best they could. I still don't understand why the Bears would pay $5M of his bonus when we'd probably have cut him anyways.

My buddy is a longtime Bears fan and last year he was so excited to get Arch. I tried to warn him but he wouldn't listen saying things like "Lovie coached him in Stl and will revamp his career" and "The Bears D is strong enough that Arch won't be asked to cover, only play the run..."

Let's just say that right now my buddy hates him more than I ever did.

Why are you putting McCardell and Fletcher in that list?

Re: New year, same role for Archuleta
 

nothing against fletcher or mccardell.Mccardell was one of the best recievers of HIS time. nobody could control their body and stay in bounds with possesion better then him. and Fletch was a beast at linebacker and still is doing decent for us. But we have and still do have a history of overpaying older guys.dont take nothing from any of them. they all might be future hall of famers?But we do have trouble building up our team in the draft like indy and n.e. who has around 16 players from 02 til now whom starts today because we keep trading for the quick fix and signing hiring the ones on the way out.like the yankees.
