Worst for the 49ers and the best for the Bills?
San Francisco receives O.J. Simpson
Buffalo receives San Francisco's 2nd and 3rd in 1978 and their 1st and 4th in 1979.

Instead of keeping Tony Dungy we fire him and we trade for Jon Gruden who really did not for our franchise besides draft a bunch of busts and put us in the position we are now. All he did was take Dungy's players to the Superbowl.

And you won the Super Bowl, so it obviously was an AWFUL trade.

The best? Jared Allen.

Worst: Trading a 4th round pick to the Jets for 3 years of Herm Edwards as HC. Maybe this is me being bitter, but Herm was a bad choice in 2006 when they made the deal and it was WAY worse when he was fired after the 2008 season.
Best: Trading away Jared Allen to the Vikes for a 1st, and 2 3rds. He was a mediocre player. He didn't get sacks in the 4th quarter, when it really matters. He was a drunk that was on his way to a full season suspention from the NFL with 1 more DUI. Oh.... wait. That's the Carl Peterson propaganda talking. Jared Allen was our best player! He was a fan favorite! Everyone in Arrowhead loved the guy. He made a few mistakes and was changing his life for the better. Even getting a 1st and 2 3rds, this still might be my LEAST FAVORITE TRADE IN CHIEFS HISTORY!!

In recent history, the Sheldon Brown trade is probably the best...
The worst was probably giving up a second round pick to move up one slot with the Lions...

Because they were Tony Dungy's players he took. If we would of kept Dungy then we still would of done it. I am glad Jon Gruden is gone.

trading up for Kellen Winslow, trading a future first round pick and a second round pick for Brady Quinn were both bad ideas. Trading Paul Warfield to Miami was freaking dumb too.

You don't know that you still would have won it. I am a HUGE Dungy fan, but you are complaining about a coach who won a Super Bowl for you, yeah they were Dungy's players, but you can't complain about winning a Super Bowl.

It definitely didn't hurt having Oakland's coach on your sideline for the Superbowl.

Worst
The 49ers traded up for J.J. Stokes in the 1995 draft, giving up a future 1st rounder. That pick would turn out to be the 26th selection in 1996. No big deal, right? It just turned out to be Ray Lewis. Stokes went on to have many mediocre seasons and was released in 2002. Ray Lewis is a guaranteed Hall of Famer. Swing and a miss for the 49ers here.
What are some good/bad trades your team made both recently and historically?
|
Not getting Ray Lewis hurts, but honestly we already had a good linebacker corp at the time with Gary Plummer, Lee Woodall, and of course Ken Norton Jr. manning the middle. Lewis would have been a good selection over Stokes, but I can see why they wanted to try and select a receiver. John Taylor was leaving and Jerry Rice was already 32 or 33 years old at the time. At least we got Terrell Owens the following season.

No, Tony Dungy would have merely continued watching his team lose in the playoffs with a blank stare on his face like he did in Indy.
Most overrated head coach in the history of football, I swear.
I forgot, though, it's blasphemy to say anything bad about the guy because he's religious and nice.

Notable: Most observers felt the Saints would move up from their first-round no-man's land, with choices No. 17 and No. 18 overall, to grab one of the two premier cornerback prospects. But the player coach Jim Haslett really wanted was defensive tackle Jonathan Sullivan, a guy he hopes will help solve the Saints' inability to stop the run. It was a lot to surrender, though, to get a player some feel takes a few snaps off himself.

A 4th for Randy? Yeah.
Branch for a 1st? Hell yeah.
Seymour for a 1st that could end up as a Top 5 pick? Hell damn yeah.
Trading down when Dez Bryant was right there for us? Nah.

Not sure if "hell damn yeah" is an expression.

When Mike Sherman traded up to take punter BJ Sander that has to be the most stupid, but it was just a middle round draft trade so it wasn't very damaging.

The fact that people bring him up as a HoF coach is disgusting to me.
I completely understand why John Madden is in the Hall of Fame since he is one of the games great ambassadors. However, his credentials as a coach opened the door for a lot of other guys to be in HoF discussions as well, so long as they have a pretty good winning record and one Superbowl win.
Guys like Dungy and Cowher being argued as Hall of Famers makes me want to punch babies.

I don't see any way that the Raiders are a top 5 pick. To be honest I don't even see the raiders as a top 15 pick.

Best: Moss for a 4th, Welker for a 2nd, a 1st for Branch.
Worst: Trading the pick to the 49ers, to allow them to select Jerry Rice.
