I think there are lots of cases where players come to a team and don't work out for one reason or another. But rarely do you see those players benched the way Arch was, unless it's a "locker room cancer" type of issue, and rarely does it seem to get as ugly as it does around here.
I don't think I'm alone in being concerned with the reputation (deserved or not) our front office is starting to get with respect to how we treat players. I don't mind the label that we try to buy all the best players; the fact that Snyder opens his wallet freely is a great thing IMO. But how we treat the guys we spend so lavishly on, when they don't exceed our wildest expectations, should be of concern.
So here's another question. Why is Lloyd still playing and Archuleta not? I'm bracing for the inevitable "have you seen the blocks Brandon throws! He plays his guts out on every down" comments, but the fact is, relative to his contract, I do not think he has played any better than Arch, and by all accounts he is not particularly well-liked or respected in the locker room, whereas we have heard nothing to that effect about Arch.
In case it's not obvious, I think GGrilliamss has horrible personal skills, and is allowing his ego to destroy his defensive unit.

Exactly. The real issue isn't whether AA can cover, or does he practice well, or who hurt his feelings - forget all that crap, I could care less!
My concern is how we handle players once we consider them expendable.
