Who was the worst acquisition of the last 10 years?

I look at the worst acquisition as "could we have forseen the FUBAR coming". Lloyd has to be the worst using that criteria because we should've seen the train-wreck a mile away. If Wilbon was getting calls from collegues saying what a complete AH Lloyd was, then I'm sure Gibbs & the FO received the same calls. Not to mention Lloyd already had a rep for "making the spectacular catch but dropping easy ones". Gibbs or someone else in the FO should've overruled Saunders on Lloyd and said "No way!"

If you look at the others; Stubby & Deion had good past production and the hope was they had a little gas left in the tank. George was coming off a great 1999 season, we needed a back-up QB and I believe for the most part in 1999 George was a "team player" for MINN. Duckett had success as a bruising Goal-line back for ATL and Portis had just gotten hurt. Arch had success as a hard-hitting SS, he just couldn't play coverage and GW tried to fit "a round peg is a square hole" by putting him in the Cover-2.

I am astonished that BL isn't running away. WE GAVE UP DRAFT PICKS FOR HIM. End of conversation.

Deion Sanders. EX-COWBOY. Not that all ex-Cowboys are bad (Calvin Hill, for example), but Deion, aside from Michael Irvin, may have been the most hated Cowboy. Then we sign him? I couldn't pull myself to root for him and he rarely gave us a reason to.

Thats why I voted for George. he was known as a coach killer. That's about the only thing he's ever done well.

I hear ya. I cannot stand Deion. I was very mad when he signed with the Skins. On the first day of the 2000 training camp, when Deion ran out onto the field, I was in attendance and I booed him.

sanders is clearly#1.heath shuler,jeff george,and alvin harper ai'nt far behind.

That's an emotional argument and I think most of us are looking for more substanital reasons other than "I didn't like him" for whatever reason.

Archuletta was overpayed and had a terrible season last year. Too bad he wasn't guarding Lloyd... :D

I gotta go with Jeff George cuz that forced out extremely reliable Brad Johnson right after he'd taken the team to the playoffs.

Great question.
so much hate...tough to quantify.
I mean drafts picks vs cash? Actually playing and hurting the team (arch) v never playing and costing picks (TJ)...I'm overwhelmed.
