Quote:Hurns didn't get drafted, but I get your point
He also is responsible for
CYPRIEN
Gerhart
Ace Sanders
Sergio Brown
Aaron Colvin
Gratz
and a host of other average guys
he has not drafted or signed one big time, elite, transcendent talent yet. I'm waiting, Caldwell.
Sanders was late round.... he was serviceable and then expendable.
Colvin is good. Also mid to late round.
Gratz is average, picked in the 3rd iirc? If he ends up being a solid 4th DB, that isn't terrible.
Gerhart, bad FA signing (it happens) Watson was another one that didn't pan out.
But Miller and Marks? Very good signings.
Skuta? Great signing.
House, good signing, we don't need to reach in the draft for corners because of him and Colvin, though if we can get a true shut down guy, it wouldn't hurt to get one.
Fowler we're still waiting, but if he comes back 100% will likely be an elite, transcendent talent.
And I'm sorry Bortles didn't come out of the gate throwing 50 TDs but he is developing into a very good QB and shows signs that he could hone his craft to be one of the best.
Cyp might be "average" but GMs can't hit home runs with 2nd rounders often.
I've said it elsewhere and I'll say it again. Caldwell has not been perfect, but no GM ever is. He has done well enough blowing a roster up and rebuilding from ground zero that I wouldn't dare ask for a change there.
We finally have an offense that looks legit. A QB with a few weapons around him. The D has some pieces, just needs some glue (like a Kam Chancellor).
This is because of Caldwell.
You want to go back to having Gabbert, Harvey, Groves, Porter, D.Flo, Prosinski type teams?
Have at it.
