Has it occurred to anyone besides me that in the past year the 2006 NFC champion Chicago Bears have added safety Adam Archuleta and receiver Brandon Lloyd, the biggest reasons the Washington Redskins plummeted from 10-6 the previous year to 5-11 that season?
What can Bears GM Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith possibly be thinking? Archuleta can't cover anyone and was probably the player who snitched to ESPN about backbiting at Redskin Park during his only season in Washington. Lloyd didn't hustle and was a locker room cancer during his two years in burgundy and gold. But then this is an organization which thinks it can overcome Rex Grossman's quarterbacking and get back to the Super Bowl.

This is also the organization that let RB Thomas Jones go to the Jets for nothing, then had no run game last year.
In a way it's fitting they are picking up Redskins' mistakes. Like the Skins, with adequate QBing they should be a playoff team. They have a defense that is getting some age on it, like the Skins, so they can't wait around forever for Grossman to blossom. They could have done worse than sign Todd Collins. He may not be Brett Favre but he doesn't lose games for you with turnovers. Whatever, and good luck with Brandon Lloyd.
