With that being said what does everyone else think as far as the worst mistake during the past decade? Either something we did or did not do. The other one for me was hiring Coach Dennis Erickson.

Like Rodgers would have flourished with crud coaching, no O line and no targets

Actually I think he would've been good here even under the same circumstances because he's much more willing to run with the ball and take risks downfield, the kind of stuff you need to do to succeed on a bad offense, whereas Smith has shown that he is the master of rolling out and throwing the ball out of bounds.

Terry Donohue. Let's make a list of his "accomplishments"

- Firing Marriucci
- Hiring Erickson
- Drafting Woods over Wilfork and Harris
- Cutting 9 (I think) starters in one offseason
- Losing BOTH Owens and Garcia, when it was clear we could have kept one of them.
- Draft picks like Kwame Harris

I am sure we could add many more...

Confirmed he was a mole hired by a collaboration of owners to infiltrate the 9er organization and reduce us to utter doormat trash. Revenge for all the whoop ass we've laid down on the NFL.
