The way our defense played this year, I don't know that he would have made that much of a difference. He did loose his starting job with the Steelers, so I'm more concerned with the production of a player over a period of time, as opposed to one fairly good year.

I agree. Just because giving Archuleta a big contract was a huge mistake, does not mean that letting Clark walk was also a mistake.

Also, I think the smart money would be on Archuleta rebounding, not Clark.
