1. Deion Sanders - possibly the worst move in Redskins history. He would never be considered a Skin no matter what.
2. Firing Marty - I know he has no Super Bowls, but he was getting the team back on the right track.
3. Charging for practices - not only was it unfair to the fans, it allowed every other team to come and watch practices.
4. Firing Norv before the end of the season
5. Deion Sanders - I mean really, wtf?

I would have to disagree with the champ for portis trade as being one of the worst mistakes of the Snyder era. I think that trade was a good one even though Bailey was my favorite player on the team before the trade. Our corner play has not been bad since we let Champ go, we have had and still have good corners. Clinton has definetly improved this team on off. and he is the only reason that any team even fears us a little. When ever teams are planning for us who is the person that they always mention???? Clinton Portis..

5) Letting Antonio Pierce walk. The guy was the brain and spinal cord of our defense. And he's really hurt us in every game against the Giants since.

4) Hiring Spurrier. He clearly didn't take the NFL seriously.

3) Adam Archuleta - Nobody did their homework on this guy, he couldn't do what GW needed him to do.

2) Deion Sanders.

1) Jeff George - We had a pretty good thing going with Brad Johnson, we bring this bozo in and it disrupted our entire offense. Terrible fit, terrible leader.

Can I get clarification on something? I seem to remember that Champ Bailey was going to leave the Skins eventually anyway so instead of having him jump ship with nothing to show for it we traded him and got Portis. You guys would know for sure, can you help a brother out?

Yeah, he let it be known thru his agent that he was not interested in signing with the Redskins once we didn't extend him before the season and then we were going thru another coaching change.

Yes. Champ wanted to leave.

What got me about that trade was not Champ for Portis but the #2 pick that we threw into the deal. Portis was also unhappy in Denver. It has always seemed to me that a harder bargain could have been struck.

I wonder how he feels now? **** him!! He should have been a Redskin for life. The grass is not always greener on the other side (I guess monetarily it is).

Yea your right it is not always Greener. All you Jason Campbell haters better remember it if we draft Sanchez or get rid of Campbell.

I think you have the best list so far.

skinsfan69 · 04-18-2009, 09:17 PM

1. Keeping Norv or Charely C.
2. Hiring Marty S. and giving full control.
3. The whole mess of 2000. You can't buy championships
4. Not letting GW take over
5. Hiring a college coach who didn't even know WTF he was doing.

skins89moss · 04-19-2009, 03:03 AM

1. Hiring Spurrier and not hiring Marvin Lewis as Head Coach
2.Firing Marty after 1 season of 8-8. Just when the team started to respond to his style.
3.Looking to sign the next high profile old free agent ( Sanders, B.Smith, J. George,J.Taylor,M.Carrier,M.Brunell). Brunell did give Jason time to learn, but we change systems every year.
4.Not keeping good Redskin players ( A.Pierce, B. Mitchell,Ryan Clark, Brad Johnson Super Bowl QB.) Damm all these players have won a Super Bowl ring since they depart DC.

5.Not hiring Gregg Williams as Head Coach. We need a defensive mind coach that can make this team physically and mentallity tougher.

Thats my idea of his worst moves thus far.
6.Getting rid of Jason Campbell is on the horizon.

I think my list is about right compare to the others.

Not hiring Williams as Head Coach - and keep Al Saunders as Offensive Coordinator. We had a good run to end the year - thanks to T Collins playing well in the Al Saunders offense down the stretch. Honestly, I was hoping the offense would stay intact, and that Collins would at least be given a shot to start the following year. He understood the offense inside and out, considering all the time he had with Saunders in KC. I know Collins is old, but he guided us to a 4-0 record the end of the year and into the playoffs.
I loves G Williams intensity. He deserved a shot.
