Was Lincoln diverting McDowell away from McClellan a mistake? Was McDowell correct and he never really had a chance of catching Jackson in the first place?

What are some of the other military orders Lincoln made that you view as mistakes? (ignoring selection of officers, i'm speaking of direct military orders to the field)
 
As CiC, a bunch of mistakes. But yeah. Had McDowell been allowed to move south, Jackson would have bumped right in to him.
