(a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 for Ricky Williams is the worst). You build championship teams with those 2's 3's and 4's, and he throws them away for a QB who by most accounts will not be a starting qb in this league. Giving up Hillis is a popular complaint in the media, and was a bad move, but those happen. Trading up for a bad QB is unforgivable.

He chased Cutler and Marshall away and really as far as talent goes, has very little of it and the next year or two looks worse.

I agree that Shanahan's time was up, and was overrated. The second his Oline coach moved to Atlanta his team gradually went downhill. I believe that coach and his (at that time) revolutionary blocking scheme was the reason TDavis had that cutback lane, and a huge reason they won two SB's. But nonetheless Josh was wrecking that team at a rapid pace and something needed to be done.

edit: well maybe trading for HWalker is in the top 2 worst personnel moves

i dont think those were bad moves though, the bad moves were getting very little in quality players from the bounty of draft picks they recieved. no question that Mcdaniels made some very poor personnel moves. what will become of Tebow, not that i care as i am tired of hearing his name..
