With all the chatter about Bill Belichick potentially being fired - despite all he has done for the Patriots over the last 20+ years - what are some of the dumbest decisions owners have made in recent years?

With or without hindsight? Without hindsight, the Jets drafting Christian Hackenburg in the 2nd round in 2016. He was god awful in college outside of his freshman year (when he had Allen Robinson catching everything thrown to him) and I was pretty sure he was going to go early day 3 at the earliest.

Well, the Jets shocked everyone and took him in the 2nd round. He was so terrible that he couldn't get snaps when the Jets were playing QBs like Bryce Petty and Josh McCown. In fact, he never played a snap in a regular season game. They essentially lit a high draft pick on fire and it was obvious from the start.
