I dunno, I think if I was Gibbs and Williams, I'd bring him in during the offseason, have a sit down meeting and say something like. Look Adam, we still believe in you, we want you to be a part of this team, but there are certain aspects of your game that you still need to work on. We want to help you get better, stay around here in the offseason, let's put the past behind us and make it work. They need to talk to him figure out why he thinks it didn't work this past season, and help him fix what he needs to work on. Then, if it still doesn't work, I'd let him go.

I think the best guess is that he had an injury that affected his ability to play the game. I mean with Brunell in 2004 when he clearly played the worst year of his career (he didn't even complete 50%), it was later disclosed that he was playing badly hurt and he ended up winning his starting job back a year later. I don't see why this couldn't be the situation with Archuleta. He even hinted at an injury a few times in various interviews. It may be more serious than hes giving it credit for. Screw his contract, if he comes back next season, let him compete for the starting job. If his injury is chronic, cut him.
