It is also a sad indictment of the skins talent evaluation that this guy comes in off the street and displaces one of the skins big $ off-season signings.
It is common knowledge that we have the second worst front office in the league. The worst is Buffalo, who let Vincent walk for nothing and are still paying him.
But lets not sell Vincent short. This isn't Garnell Wilds (sp?). This is a guy who was a stud for years and is still pretty good.

On the whole Archuleta thing, sure he might have been a bust, but ya know what? Mistakes happen.

I'd say our free agent acquisitions of 2004 got us our first playoff win since 1999. Marcus Washington, Clinton Portis, Cornelius Griffin, Phillip Daniels, and Shawn Springs were excellent additions. They also got us Chris Cooley, not too shabby either. They also got us Lemar Marshall and Joe Salave'a, not bad for UFAs. They also got us your man Sean Taylor.
In 2005 we got Santana Moss, not bad there either.
This last year's free agent acquisitions are the only real bad ones we've had since 2000 and the book isn't exactly written on them.

Sheriff, I don't have the time or energy to point out the blunders of the current administration. Now one thing we can do is spend and just like in life, money can fix mistakes. Just ask Pac-man, Kobe, Chris Henry....

I agree that they've made mistakes (e.g. Archuleta), but I don't think they're one of the worst front offices in the league. They're mediocre/average IMHO.

Arch was not a front office deal only. Williams wanted him and said so. I think our FO has done a decent job bringing in guys who have contributed. Our drafts have been below average but not disasters. Disasters are Shuler, Westbrook type picks. So far the guys have been contributors. I don't think we've been good but we haven't been horrible. Not good enough though. Arch is back to playing the position he was brought in for. Run playing safety. When Priloeau went he had to play more than they wanted to originally. Now he can do what he does best. Vincent started because of the play call not because he is necesarilly above Arch. Just different packages.

Barring injury Archuletta is a role player going forward. I just hope they keep Vincent after this year.

I hope we can somehow finagle a few draft picks and maybe draft a safety. Doughty always seems to be out of position when he IS in there.

I think they will, as long as he doesn't retire.
