Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

The thing with AA is, did he go on to do anything anywhere else?? If he did I would buy the scapegoat argument. He was a bad move no doubt but I think we have to point the finger more at Williams and Gibbs for that. I don't think Snyder was the one that roped that turd.

Deion, George, and Fat Al are all on Snyder.

His career was pretty much over when he got here. It's not completely unheard of for a skill position player (or defender) to be completely cooked by the age of 27, though it's very rare. I certainly haven't figured out a way to predict it.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened with Archuleta above all, is that he was a severely declining player in 2006, when there was almost no reason to think he would be, and he continued to decline after he left Washington. By 29, the guy couldn't even get a camp invite.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

Hmm..as much as I want to pounce on Fat Al (ewww that sounds nasty), I'm going with Arch Deluxe. Not only was he a mediocre talent to begin with, but he somehow managed to decline once he became a Redskin, and only god knows where he is now.

I guess what I'm saying is Arch wasn't worth that money before we signed him and certainly never lived up to a penny of it after we signed him.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

The worst signing by Snyder was the company he contracted to provide porta potties. Man they suck and they need about a 100 more spread around the parking lots. When he first signed that deal I thought thats the end of waiting in long lines, peeing in the woods, peeing by my car, etc..... Now the lines are even longer and the porta's stink even worse.

After his flamboyant 57-yard effort, Sanders told reporters: "All you doubters, there’s room on the bandwagon.

god i hate him so much

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

Adam Archuleta IMO, he wasn't even a starter here, and when he was it was cause we were paying him so much money to not play.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

Just when I had almost forgotten about Neon Dipsh!t this poll happens.

I seriously do not know why I have given Dan this 18th chance, and not despising him for what he has done to the last 11 years of my life. I think last year finally broke me, and I am refusing to get over hyped.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

I went with Deion just for the 2000 perfromance he had against the Lions in the Silverdome. Johnny Morton smoked his ass all game,and of course Deion never really was a tackler. Dishman was way better than Deion!!!!!! Deion always got beat as a Skin, and sometimes, as with Morton, very badly.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

I just seriously dislike deon due to his arrogance and cowboy background...I see everyone elses valid points about the other "busts" being more significant....but remember...this guy was hired to bench Darrel Green...I voted him the LOSER that he is.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

Pretty sure DG didn't move to the nickel until Marty got here. Could be wrong though.

Re: Dan Snyder's worst free-agent signing

What about Jeremiah Trotter? Wasn't that a signing under Snyder?

That's more just dumb luck. Trotter was a high character, high performance player who unfortunately got hurt shortly after we signed him
