Was a hard decision between Lloyd and Archie. They both sucked pretty hard but I chose Archie just because we shelled out so much money for him to suck.
But Lloyd was just an all-around loser. Not only did he suck but it seems as if anyone who came within a 10 foot radius of him got their morale shot down.
It's one thing if you're a quiet loser but its a completely different story if you're a loudmouth ass.
Got that right. I'd have to give Lloyd the nod because we actually duped the Bears into trading something for Arch. Lloyd, we had to just cut with nothing in return.
My take on AA was yes he was bad, really bad, but even when he was benched the D stunk. There's no way he was the sole reason for the defensive struggles that year.

If I remember correctly didn't we give a 1st - 2nd and 3rd round draft pick to the viking for Brad Johnson? Does anyone recall?
Yes, we gave up a 1st and 3rd in 99 for him, and a 2nd in 2000 for him. Steep price to pay.
But for all those that think Johnson was the biggest bust, he wasn't. He holds the Redskins single season record in completions, and is only the 2nd person in Redskins history to throw for 4000+ yards, and is second to only Jay Schroeder. For some reason he was on a short leash the following year, and DS wanted Jeff George, so we traded Johnson to Tampa, and in hindsight, that was a completely dumb move. Well, in foresight that was a dumb move too.

Other, The Steve Spurrier Experiment was the worst which included Rob Johnson and Danny Wuerrful.
Yeah but remember how good Ramsey looked in game one at home vs. the Cards? Oh the hopes and dreams for Suppier quickly turned into nightmares. That's when we got rid of Stephen Davis for TRUNG "falls over a blade of grass" Candidate????

George AT LEAST had one or two good games when Johnson was hurt. Remember the STL game on Mon. night?
Jeff George's record as a starter: 1-7. I guess that STL game was THE good game he had (24-34/269/3/1).
George's career stats as a Redskin:
136-236 (57.6%), 1557 yds, 7 TDs, 9 INTs, 5 fumbles
Plenty of bad acquisitions, George is just one of them.

I appologize if this was already mentioned...I just couldn't go through 8 pages of the same people. My pick was not presented Michael Westbrook. We draft him 1st round, He's injured, He's got the stomach flu, He's injured, He ran a few PR and never did well as a player. We get rid of him and all he was to GB was a glorified PR.
Other then that I would suggest Ducket. I still believe the only reason we took him was to keep the other NFC east teams from getting him. What a waist of a 4 round pick. Great RB never used.

We're talking about the last 10 years.
Michael Westbrook was drafted in 1995 (http://www.redskinswarpath.com/redskins-draft.htm).
He was a bust but he did have a good year in 1999.

I went with Ducket, despite the big salaries for most of those other players. There's a little angry fan in the back of my head that reminds me, 3rd round pick!? wtf?!
