Who was the worst acquisition of the last 10 years?

Dan Synder, without a doubt!

I'm gonna go with Archuleta, he got paid like a king and he made our defense absolutely horrible in '06. The bright side is that we took a completely worthless player and got the Bears to give us a draft pick for him in addition to taking his salary. He even sucked for the Bears last season too.

I gotta go with Duckett. We didn't really need him, but what's worse is that we didn't use him when we got him anyway. I don't really know what happened there. He wasn't a malcontent or anything like that. For whatever reason it just didn't work out.

If I were to add an "other" I might have to go with David Patten.

Deion actually did ok...even though he stole millions from us. Bruce Smith was average as well. Stubblefield actually did ok, as well. Not good, ok.

BL has to be #1. No production, big contract, and cost us draft picks. Maybe the worst move by any team for the last 5 years.

AA has to be a close 2nd. Big contract and couldn't even earn a starting job. That's why GW's is the man. Doesn't matter how much you make, if you don't earn your starting job than you don't get it.

TJ Duckett can play, but the trade was horrible. No doubt about it. Horrible.

I forgot about Spurrier.

We could have given him the talent of the Patriots Super Bowl teams and he still would have stunk it up.

He's got my vote. He didn't cost us draft picks unless you count the dumbass picks he made, he just wasted time of my life!

I went with Lloyd because when Mike Espy, an undrafted FA got hurt in the preseason, many of us rolled our eyes and said "looks like the guy we spent a ton of money and two draft picks on will have to fill Espy's place."

Arch might have sucked but at least it seemed like he was trying most of the time, I don't think you can say that for Lloyd. The only time Lloyd seemed to try was when he bulked up last offseason, but obviously eating more was about the only extra effort he was willing to put forth.
I also find the TJ Duckett situation baffling.

Let's stick with players only and not use this as another excuse to bash the likes of Snyder or Spurrier.

I say Lloyd. Simply because he such an asshole. He's mean to the coaching staff, he's mean to parking attendents, he's a dick to some of the players that supported him. At least the other guys like Arch and Duckett aren't bad people. They were bad moves but we gave up two draft picks for a bad player and a dick.

Im gonna chime in on Bruce Smith again. I really hated this move. Do you guys remember us keeping him in just to get that record sack, then he never saw the field again. He was terrible. and im not sure but didnt he get a 1 1/2 sacks that game to get the record. He was worthless.

With the owner being the exception, I'm going to agree with most of the above in terms of both cost and production. If I had to pick just one, I'd have to say Jeff George simply because his acquisition destroyed the chemistry of what had been a pretty formidable unit the year before his arival.
