Who was the worst acquisition of the last 10 years?

Micheal Barrow...Never saw the field in a Redskins uni.

I like the John Hall honorable mention but it's not the worst. As for Kijana the skins never gave him big money...he was the Bengals blunder.

Michael Westbrook also comes to mind b/c of the amount of locker room disruption and simultaneous struggle on the field. He was worse than just his cap number to us!

There was no explaining that, and for me, very hard to fault the Skins on that one.

However, everyone in the league knew Jeff George was a piece of dogsh*t, and everyone in the league knew Brandon Lloyd was a locker room problem in SF. And we gave up picks and major $ for Lloyd.

Could it have been Stubblefield was doping his last year with the 49ers that led to his superior preformance? Of coures playing along side Bryant Young didn't hurt his situation either.

Matty this question is to freaking hard!!!

i voted deon sanders far away the biggest and worst acquisition of the last 10 yrs... and there are several others up there who should belong in the same company as deon..... and the redskins are probably still paying him $$$$. today.....

Gotta say the Arch-Deluxe on this one. Everyone knew he couldn't play, we just tried to act like maybe he still could. How in the hell we got the Bears to take him is beyond me.

Carter?

We probably paid him the veteran minimum and it's not like he was brought in to start. And he was actually a productive player for us in 2001.

That's an odd choice. Are we just picking names out of a hat now?

We can actually make a case against just about everyone mentioned in the poll as well as some that weren't. However, the points Schneed made in reference to Lloyd are undenyable, and without a doubt when you consider his production/or lack thereof, coupled with his cost, his acquisition will go down as probably one of the worst trades the team has ever made.

I took Jeff George over Brandon Lloyd for the simple fact that because of George, Snyder drove a serviceable QB who has had success in the league out of town. Add to the fact that because of George's attitude towards Marty, the Skins had to run the season with Tony Banks as their starter.

Oh god. Thats a name I never wanted to hear again. I used to love to play the old NFL Blitz game for PS2 and I hated the fact that Tony Banks was the Qb in that game. What ever happened to that guy?

Good call on that one

MTK · 02-27-2008, 05:16 PM

I can't fault the Barrow move, he was an iron man before we picked him up. I'll chalk it up to shit luck.

Sanders the only man in a Redskins uniform I have ever booed.

I know right. I never really understood why in the hell we signed him. That was when I started getting REALLY scared for us because I thought Danny Boy had lost it.
