Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
Considering the insane contracts being dealt out this offseason I think Fletcher was a very fair deal... certainly a better deal than what the Dolphins gave Porter.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
Why is it that so many people think a player who didn't work out was a bad choice?
Is it possible for a player who didn't work to have been a good decision that simply went totally and uncontrollably awry? Barrow was a complete workhorse in NY. Didn't miss games and was a Pro Bowler. Just because he got a crazy ass knee injury that basically ended his career doesn't mean it was a bad choice to me. It means we had bad luck. I don't see how anyone thinks the Barrow move was a bad one. |

As for your theory about a good signing that just didn't work out, right or wrong, good luck or bad luck, you have to look at the results. Sure, there are plain ol' hard luck cases every team can point to. One that sticks out was Yatil Green -- wide reciever out of U. of Miami. The Dolphins drafted him in the first round. Year one, he tears his ACL -- out for the season. Year two, he blows out the other ACL. I don't think he lasted another season in the league. That's exhibit A in hard luck cases. Bottom line, you either have hits or misses. Barrow was a miss. Does the front office deserve ridicule for an injury-plagued guy? Maybe not. But teams like the Patriots suffer big-time injuries and don't seem to miss a beat. And right or wrong, they are judged by the players they bring in and how they contribute. The problem is that the Redskins have way too many other misses that go along with Barrow. And ultimately, it contributes to their overall perception around the league as bumbling buffoons. |

We were ranked #3 overall defensively in 2004. I remember hearing plenty of praise for the coaching and the performance of the players that year, and deservedly so. |
