This might be a fun thread. Since it's the time of year when everyone thinks they're a GM sometimes we need a healthy reminder of why we aren't.
If you were the Vikings GM, what's the worst move you would have made other than bankrupting the entire team by signing every marquee free agent ever.
I would have drafted Brady Quinn over Adrian Peterson

Hahaha I remember that I was so badly wanting to see competent WRs during the 2006 season I wanted the team to sign guys like Peter Warrick, Eric Moulds, Kennan McCardel, etc.
Other than that, I know I have said very stupid things and wanted players that didn't pan out. I just cannot remember all of what I have said at this point in time.

I remember wanting to draft Megatron over 'All Day'......mostly beccause recievers have a longer lifespan and we already had a RB at the time.
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

I remember both me and Demi were quite high on Brady Quinn. He didn't translate to the NFL very well. Is He still in the NFL?

But I thought Demi knew more about Quarterbacks than (diety of your choice).

I would have traded up to draft Stephen Burton in the 2nd round.

I'd trade for an old Randy Moss and give away a 3rd round pick. And then release him after a few games.

I wanted to draft Alphonso Smith or Michael Oher instead of Percy Harvin in 2009

That's the kind of #### that would get you fired. No GM in the NFL would even think of pulling a move like that.
