Worst move yet?

drafting David Carr. IRREGARDLESS of his performance, you have to build your teams in the trenches. Even assuming that Boselli was going to play, you take peppers there. No lines=No wins. Its just bad football philosophy
 
Gotta think it was letting Aaron Glenn and Jamie Sharper go a couple of years ago. The defense wasn't the same after that.

***edit***

Even worse...hiring Dom Capers as head coach.

Not to get off topic, anyone know if another team picked up Gaffney after Philly dumped him ?

Portis was picked right after we drafted Pitts, not Gaffney!
 
And the winner is: Bob McNair. He was a rookie owner in a shark infested league. So he asked some of his fellow owners for advise and they said the best available G.M. was Charlie Cass. And the best H.C. available was - Dum Capers! McNair knowing no better took their advice.

Looking back, you had to start somewhere. So who we picked, and who we got, wasn't too bad. They went 4-12 their first year with a five year plan. The problem began when Capers and Cass decided the pressure to win (not from McNair), was getting intense, so they forfeited almost a whole draft on Babin, and it was downhill from there.

Bob McNair went with experience in hiring Casserly and Capers. By his own admission, Kubiak wasn't ready to be a head coach in 2002.

I think it's really unfair to say Bob McNair made the biggest mistake. If I'm not mistaken, Casserly was a candiate for several GM jobs, including the Saints, when he was fired from the Redskins. I don't remember anyone coming out saying that Casserly was a garbage hire, that hiring Dom Capers or Chris Palmer were mistakes.

I can just imagine the reaction of some of you people if the Texans would have announced as their first GM an unknown named Rick Smith.

BTW, the Texans did interview Kubiak the first time. He simply was not prepared to be a head coach at that time.
