Why so much animosity towards one player? I understand that he didn't exactly pan out for us, but that is no reason to hate him. I hope that he does well in Chicago at least then we know that he was a good player and that he just didn't fit into our scheme. Our coaches will look even worse if he doesn't pan out over there. Try and look at the bright side, if it wasn't for Archeleta playing poorly in our system we would have never drafted Landry nor would we have drafted Palmer. Landry is looking good and it is possible that Palmer develops into a solid backup for us in the future.

We over paid Adam and he didn't work out for us. It is similar to the Smoot situation. We are happy he is back for the most part and all because he didn't pan out in Minnesota. He has value to us.

Bye the way did anyone else notice that he (Smoot) was lined up on the outside in Nickle coverage; pushing Shawn Springs to the Nickle Corner position on 3rd and long situations. He didn't get thrown on.
