Worst Ireland move as GM?

Tannehill? (even though that pick was a given) other then that Clay and Grimes. That's pretty much it.

Hartline, Jake Long (4 PB's), Randy Starks, Cam Wake, OV, Reshad Jones, Pouncey, resigning Soliai to a good contract, REsigning Wake to a good contract, keeping our cap situation good vs. half the league (aponted cred here),

If you disagree with some of these of the top of my head, you are simply being ignorant. Jones not so good year but that is not so much his fault. He was asked to cover more than be an attacker.

Brought in Patterson and Thomas in offseason that ended up helping the team.

Forgive me for pointing out positives that people simply dont want to hear cus it doesnt fit their agenda but the truth is the truth, and Ireland is good at picking up guys off the street. Mckinney example.

you can now start the real debate.

9 "good" moves in 6 years(and no, cap doesnt count, seeing as how we were in the gutter a mere year ago).

Counting the Marshall trade, Ireland has busted on as many second round picks as hes had total "good" moves. And i excluded Jamar Taylor from the 2nd rounders, though thats hardly worked out thus far.

These aren't bad moves at all, too bad his bad moves dwarf these in comparison and is why we continue to be at or below .500. That is a pretty sad list for 6 years.
 
How about agreeing to get on the plane with Ross to go interview Harbaugh for a position that was filled. He should have fired Tony first or refused to go with Ross to see Jim.

Ireland has really set us back during his time here, obviously doesn't really know what he is doing.

Look, hindsight is 20/20 and we really do need to move past that draft, but change needs to be made. I love John Wooden's quote about it in my sig.
 
I say getting on that plane to with Ross and destroying any chance we had at being a respected franchise.....
 
Worst move. As bad as Pat white pick was. It was trading two seconds for Brandon Marshall then trading him for two thirds.

I think overall he has been a bad gm it seems from day one we outbid ourselves on players like Justin Smiley and Ernest Wiford hell even Karlos Dansby.

His best move as a GM would be resigning as GM but we know he wont.
His best move as an acting GM Trading for Reggie Bush.

I thought about saying CAM Wake but in reality I don't see that as a genius move. A lot of teams knew about the guy we just paid the most.
No GM saw this kind f stardom for Wake as reflected in what his contract initially was. I will give props for resigning him at a solid contract for the team.
Now if the dolphins were the only team pursuing him much like Brandon Browner you could say that it was a great move. In the end he signed him so he gets a good amount of the credit but this was not treated like some big signing or off the radar signing.

Weren't there at least 6 teams vying for Wake?
