Walsh was the blunder of all blunders. It hurts because you can't blame it on Mikey. It took place under the watch of one of the greatest football men of all time and it cost this franchise hugely. Not only did Paul Brown misjudge Wlash, but he got the results of his error smeared in his face.
It may be petty, but I feel like not being active in free agency in the youth of the Dalton-Green era was a big screwup. They built a team with many capable pieces, had a nice staff, and showed the ability to make the playoffs consistently. Most of these pieces, the important ones i.e. AJ and Andy were playing on affordable rookie deals. They had cap room for days. They knew a time would come when they'd have to shell out for the young guys. Why didn't they strike when the iron was hot? Pick up a Dansby when he still had tread on the tires. Be aggressive like Denver was to win now. Oh well.
