because of the cap, money paid to non-producers is a valid reason for hate, since they impair the team's ability to improve in other areas.

holdman and archuleta rack up tackles, but they're late tackles. it's like arguing that david carr is the best QB in the league since he has/had the highest QB rating (even though he only plays well in garbage time).

it's not just arch though. carter's underperformed, injuries at DT and DB have really hurt, and none of our CBs look like they're any good right now. our offense hasn't been consistant enough to keep them off the field, and GW's been calling an awful lot of prevent which i'm not sure who it's really helping. there's blame for the FO for overpaying and not ensuring depth was taken care of (NO ONE should have to bring in 9+ players at the last second for needs that were known dating back to the end of last season).

but if i have to vote, i'd say archuleta isn't living up to his contract or doing what was expected of him to help us win games. maybe prioleau's injury prevented him from being used solely as a quasi-linebacker, but injuries happen and the remaining starters and depth has dealt with them very very poorly.
