Top 3 Worst moves by front office?

[evergreen]

Blair Walsh would come to mind as one of the top bad moves ever. Still can’t forget Aaron Curry. For me the biggest bummer was not signing Warren Moon when he came down from Canada but at least they tried. Maybe even losing a first rounder for the Boz. What do you guys think?
#1 Steve Hutchinson
#2 Blair Walsh
#3 letting Alex Collins go/Eddie Lacy

 

[Threedee]

Not signing Moon out of the UW (and undrafted, to boot) and Berring's refusal to draft Favre were huge opportunities missed.

Percy Harvin?

 

[sdog1981]

Trading Tony Dorset for picks did not help. It would have been interesting to see a Zorn Largent and Doresett combo

 

[getnasty]

If letting Alex Collins go makes the list id say were doing pretty good.

#1 keeping bevell after sb49 2# keeping cable after sb49 #3 blair witch project

Lol, like the thread, but you youngsters perspectives are abysmal. Learn your history.. then start threads like this. If you really are a fan, use that wonderful thing called the internet and learn the history. History didn't start when you started paying attention.

Sheesh, millennials.....

Harvin, Houshmanzada, Franco Harris, Curry, Dan Mcgwire, jeremy stevens

The Hutch deal if I remember correctly was not the Hawks fault at all. The poison pill contract stated that Hutchinson was to get 1 dollar more than the highest paid lineman on the team. We had just signed Walter Jones to a massive contract and the Seahawks couldn't match.

Wasting #2 draft pick on Rick Mirer should be on that list as well.

Didn't include Mirer because somehow we got a first round pick back when we traded him.

Trading for Nate Odomes
Drafting Andre Hines
Not being Honest and trying to trade Kenny Easley to the Cardinals for Kelly Stouffer when they knew they had prescribed pain pills and ruined his Kidney as a result.

Alex Collins? Comical. At least it's a little more believable than the guy last year who said letting Troymaine Pope go the first time was the biggest mistake in franchise history.

 

[TwistedHusky]

Trading Unger, which drove off Lynch.

Bringing in Harvin.

That horrible DB from the Eagles that ruined our secondary for a year.

There is a probably 10+ moves in the last 5 that go down from awful to outright idiotic.

Been saying this for years ..
The dumbest move was trading Tony Dorsett away (A franchise RB for years to come)
For what???Bet nobody remembers because they couldn't pick or trade worth the crap.
I absolutely believe we make the playoffs before 80 .
Dorsett and Largent would have made Zorn a decent game manager
Instead of that turnover machine he was.

Can't fault the idea they had, Dorsett said he would refuse to sign here as well. At that time players were using that as leverage a lot, Elway, George and a few others.

If they would have hit more on the O line they tried to build with the trade it may have been different.

The way I remembered it was that we could have franchised him but instead the FO Dicked around and instead gave him a transition tag. Minnesota offered Hutch basically the same amount of money as Seattle but his agent talked about how much lower the taxes were in Minnesota so Hutch would gain heartedly. The poison pill was allowed because of the transition tag and Holmgren never forgave the FO for it. They messed up bad.

In my opinion the Harvin trade is on the list of the top 3 worst.

I remember being so excited we landed him, not giving much thought to the draft picks we paid for him.

Tbf Lynch was hurt most of the following year.

Any Ruskell related use of first round draft picks (Kelly Jennings, Chris Spencer, trading for Deion Branch, Lawrence Jackson and Aaron Curry)
