Yeah. I talked with a Rams fan the other day who doesn't follow the skins. He was saying that we took one of thier best defensive players and thought he would be doing great for us.

We are not using him right.

That's bullcrap! I live in St. Louis. I can tell you for a fact, St. Louisans were laughing when the Skins paid Arch the bank. The concensus was that he couldn't cover and since his neck injury, he wasn't tackling aggressively anymore. I've repeatedly posted how this was a bad move. I only wish I had Gibbs and Snyder's phone number because when I first heard the rumor the Skins were going to sign Archuletta, I was screaming NNOOOOOOOOOOO! I wish I was wrong, but Arch is even more washed up than I thought.

It's like Bill Simmons says: every team needs a VP of Common Sense. If the Skin's FO had just talked to a group of St Louis fans they probably wouldn't have paid Adam Abercrombie so damn much.
