Quote:I'm in the crowd that would be OK with Caldwell staying. However, I think most us would have no heartburn if he was fired too.He whiffed on Bortles. He is the pick 6 title holder, and cannot throw a spiral on a regular basis like a 3rd string QB can do. I had high hopes for him, and I thought he was the real deal. I'm not sure if its Gus, Bortles, or a combination of both for his blunders. Maybe the defenses figured him out, and he doesn't know how to prevail.
The biggest argument for Caldwell is that any legit HC would have this team around .500.
I personally believe he has learned each year and became a better GM along the way.
I do hold him responsible for Bradley being a bust, and Bortles. But with it being clear that he has grown as a GM, I think he will pick a better coach this time around. I also think he would do better at finding a franchise QB (in all honesty, just about every GM misses on a QB).
While GMs always make mistakes, I just see too much potential and talent on this team not to give him credit. If he was fired today, I think he'd have a job tomorrow with another team (unlike Jeans Miff).
Just my 2 cents.
