Let's relive some of the biggest blunders of the last 10 years, shall we?

Who is your pick as the worst acquisition of the last decade?

[Redskins_P]

Jeff George by far. Imagine how good we would've been if we kept B.Johnson for a couple more years?

I agree,my pick would have been lloyd but jeff george was 2 bad moves in one by screwing us out of b johnson,brilliant move by snyder{sarcasm}

Arch no doubt. But I give the Skins credit for cutting their losses. Somehow they convinced the Bears to take Arch (who was surely going to be cut) AND pay like $5M of his remaining signing bonus. A real coup.

I think Bruce Smith and Trotter deserve special mention here too.

1) Dan Snyder (I know he isnt an acquisition, but it all stars with him)

2) Steve Spurrier

3) Deion Sanders

4) Brandon Lloyd

5) Lavernaeus Coles ( we traded a 1st and a 3rd for a "franchise player, only to trade him back to NY and get Santana Moss, who we neglected to draft and we took Rod "50-50" Gardner).

6) Jeremiah Trotter

7) Dana Stubblefield

8) Adam Archuleta

9) Trung Candidate

10) Jeff George

Tony Banks might have been the worst qb I ever saw play.

Maybe so, but that QB did take over for Jeff George and guided us to an 8-8 record that year. I may be the only one here but if we would have kept Marty and that team, we would have ben a contender the next year. I do not think that Banks was a pro-bowl QB but he was a lot better IMO than Jeff George. I do however agree that we would have ben even better if we kept Brad Johnson...

ummmmm, by far Bruce Smith, hands down!

[Hijinx]

This is a tough one. I would say George was the most costly in terms of it cost us games. The Skins were better with Johnson. Sanders was the most embarrassing as he just came in took the money and ran. Plus I have and always will hate that guy even when he was in the Skins uniform. Arch was the worst in terms of just plain not doing anything. He by far contributed the least to the team. Bruce Smith never really did much except a 3rd down pass rush, but everyone knew his best years were behind him. So not too much should have been expected, despite what he was paid.

Since I have to pick just one I went with Sanders just because I hate him.

Archuleta more than Lloyd because of the that secret expose that was done by an unnamed player at Redskin Park. I only thought of this guy when it happened.

He was paid large amounts of money to suck, those hurt the worst.

[Bishop Hammer]

Steve "Spurious". It was especiallly idiotic because we already had a good and proven coach here. Firing Marty for a college coach had to be the dumbest move in Redskins history.

[skins009]

Dan Synder, without a doubt!

[mooby]

I'm gonna go with Archuleta, he got paid like a king and he made our defense absolutely horrible in '06. The bright side is that we took a completely worthless player and got the Bears to give us a draft pick for him in addition to taking his salary. He even sucked for the Bears last season too.

I gotta go with Duckett. We didn't really need him, but what's worse is that we didn't use him when we got him anyway. I don't really know what happened there. He wasn't a malcontent or anything like that. For whatever reason it just didn't work out.

If I were to add an "other" I might have to go with David Patten.

Wholeheartly agreed with this. I mean at least Archuleta and Lloyd played...Duckett did nothing!
