I guess the question depends on what we all expected with the signing of Andre Carter. He averaged only 4.5 sacks per year in San Fransisco. I remember reading that if anything, his presence alone would open things up for Philip Daniels.
After 12 games, they each have 3 sacks. Right now, it looks as if we can count on these two guys to give us a big play every 4 games or so. Judging by the current state of the defense, I don’t think anyone could rationally argue that their production has been nearly enough.

I've already given Archuleta the label of bust. I wasn't ready to give Carter this label yet because I still believed that he had something left in him. Now he looks like he's finally getting back to being a good pass rusher.

I've been saying it for weeks that carter is getting better with each start. He's one of the only speed guys we have on defense. We were too slow to catch vick, without carter it would have been worse

He's been getting better. He has been getting better for the past 3-4 weeks or so. He hasent had a great season, but he's playing better and I think it still remains to be seen how good he can be.
The only person I want to label a bust on this team right now is AA.
You have to label Brandon Llyod a bust as well. For the amount of money we gave Llyod he has given the Redskins this: 20 catches for 295 yards, 0 TD's - how can you not lable Llyod a bust as well?

A lot of that has been bad QB and o-line play

I only saw half the game so I cant say this for sure, but it seems that Carter has stopped doing that gay spin move that never worked, I think that has a large contribution to his improvement. I think he is not a bust, but he hasnt proven to be a star in my eyes either, Gandy is a shit tackle, once Carter does this consistantly against good o lines, Ill acknowledge his greatness.

As an early-season critic of Carter, I have to give him his due. He was extremely active against both the run and the pass yesterday. I'd still like to see how inserting Rocky McIntosh would impact our run defense on that side of the field.

Worse than 256 yards rushing? Yeah, thank heavens for Andre Carter.

i think AC may be getting more comfortable here personally. It's a big transition to move to the east coast after living in CA most of your life. My guess is that now that the pressure is off he's focusing on football more, which is good since he gets paid big $ to do so!

carters play has steadily improved, from week to week. i think the skins would love to move marshall back outside. does anyone know if mcintosh can play inside? he is only about 240lbs, and thatguy, are there any mlb's available, via free agency, or the draft, for next season?
