Caldwell should be gone already. I know that Gene Smith was bad but a lot of roster gutting, cutting and exploding was done in some areas where it ultimately ended up making no sense when he got here. We let Daryl Smith go too soon. We traded Eugene Monroe away only to replace him with a huge bust. We just saw a lot of lateral moves or no upgrades being truly made.

But the one thing he messed up on. And it'll always get you as a General Manager. He got it wrong at QB. And not only did he get it wrong at QB he allowed it to go unchallenged for three years straight. No free agency signings. No legitimate draft choices made. He was done the moment we realized last year in 2016 that 2015 was false hope offensively and that 2016's defense wouldn't be enough to hide that false hope.

You can't hide a flawed QB behind a flawed offensive line with no running game and expect results. Only Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Brees and Luck can get away with that in the NFL. Brady gets a bit of a disregard more so because his lines have been relatively clean. But he's had up and down running games. Those other guys though have had subpar protection around them before or currently.

So that's really what it came down to for me. Caldwell put the cart before the horse when he got here. He got the wrong QB for the wrong roster at the wrong time. He wasn't mechanically ready or mentally ready to handle a team that was decimated. That had virtually ZERO veteran leadership on offense and defense. You especially can't do that when you have a defensive minded head coach coming in with his first start at the job. We were doomed from the start.

Hopefully Coughlin can clean this [BLEEP] up by December and get the ball back on track here in Jacksonville where it needs to be in 2018.
