Deciding to go with Zach Wilson because of one fancy-looking throw.

How recent is recent? Because I will forever be bitter about Jerry Jones losing Jimmy Johnson.

Commanders 2006 free agency: massive 5-7 year contracts for Adam Archuletta, Andre Carter and Antwan Randle El.

Commanders 2007 free agency: Albert Haynesworth

Steve Keim and Kliff Kingsbury getting multi-year extensions for being the worst in the league at their jobs then being fired a few months later

Letting the pats GM let brady walk.

Literally anything the Giants have done over the last 5 years

Painting the dirt green rather than actually investing in decent turf management not only is embarrassing but also turned RG3's leg into mashed potatoes.

Also, everything else Snyder ever did.

Niners and trey Lance...

Paul Brown is a legend but he hired Homer Rice over Bill Walsh. other than that for the Bengals we have:

Dave Shula

David Klingler

Keeping Bob Bratkowski when you had one of the most loaded offenses ever and letting him run draw plays on every 3rd down despite having a good offensive line, prime Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson, Tj Houshmanzadeh, Chris Henry etc. Great players bum ass offensive coordinator who Mike Brown didn't want to fire because he felt he had to be loyal to him for some stupid reason. When Marvin renegotiated his contract after 2010 and the complete tear down of the Palmer era commenced one of his demands was that Bratkowski get fired.

Trading 3 first round picks for an unproven QB.

Every single team passing on hurts and Lamar…

Everyone on the bears in the last 30 years

JC Jackson

Having a terrible roster, a 37y declining QB and taking a RB 2nd overall pick. I love Saquon, but the decision was atrocious.

Gase

The panthers moving up last year in the draft and they end up worse this year 😂

Raiders have a laundry list of them, just in the past few years.

Hiring Gruden after 10 years out of coaching, with Mayock as a first time GM.

Hiring Josh McDaniels.

Trading a first and second round pick for Davante Adams when the roster had tons of holes that needed filled through drafts before a star WR would move the needle on contending.

Jerry Jones letting Jimmy Johnson walk.

Giving Ron Rivera total control over football operations.

Definitely not the worst for all teams, but for the giants it’s gotta be hiring Gettleman.

Is firing bill a bad decision? He was great in the past (Because of Brady). But he's been presenting a pretty terrible team. The last 20 years don't matter anymore if you suck now.

Urban Meyer not being #1 is wild to me.

Not hiring Andy Reid in 2013, instead hired Gus Bradley

Anything the Ford Family have ever done (including buying the team).

Not a dumb decision, but it took way too long for the packers to fire Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson. Mike McCarthy has been riding the coattails of a SB victory and Aaron Rodgers for too long. His play calling got stagnant and relied way too heavily on Aaron Rodgers making plays. Ted Thompson was an old fart who really thought his draft prowess could catapult the packers to a superbowl in the modern NFL. Took the Packers ownership way too long to realize they were squandering a generational talent and by the time they made moves new powerhouses came out of the NFC

Letting Bill Walsh leave Cincinnati. Dave Shula.

George McCaskey keeping Pace and Nagy in 2021 when everyone in the league knew they were toast was awful.

Pace trades up for a QB to try and save his job, gets fired. New GM is non-committal to the QB on the rookie scale and commits to a full tear-down rebuild. Now QB is probably toast while the new GM will get a pick of QB before he gets fired the next season and the new GM gets to non-commit to the next QB.

Jerry Jones kept Jason Garrett instead of Sean Payton.

It’s not worst overall, but for the Seahawks the 2 first rounds + extension for Jamal Adams has aged poorly

Hiring Josh McDaniels after making the playoffs was certainly one of them.
