On the same subject, there is considerable sentiment to fire Caldwell.

I think that is similarly misguided.

His job is to build this team into a contender by adding talent to this roster.

Now I readily concede he has mishandled the most important position in QB.

But the other 52 men on the roster?

I think he's done a very good job.

Before Caldwell got here, we didn't have a ten sack guy on defense since Bobby McCray had 10 in 2006. Before then we had to go back to Brackens in 1999.

He added two ten sack guys in Ngakoue and Campbell.

Before Caldwell, we didn't have a Pro Bowl CB since Rashean Mathis made it in 2006.

With Caldwell, we added two Pro Bowl CBs in Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye.

Before Caldwell, we didn't have a Pro Bowl caliber LB since Kevin Hardy in 1999.

With Caldwell, the Jaguars drafted Telvin Smith, who made the Pro Bowl last year.

Caldwell added our first 1000 yard receivers in Robinson and Hurns since Jimmy Smith in 2006. WRs are supposed to be a dime a dozen. But somehow we couldn't find one talented enough to make plays on the field and disciplined enough to stay sober off the field to do this team any good. Caldwell found us playmakers outside.

Caldwell built us an OL that set a franchise low in sacks and led the league in rushing.
Even with this bad season, even with the likely free agency/salary cap related departures, this roster is in much better shape than it was when he got here.

This team put a Ruth's Chris steak in front of us last year, and before we knew it, before we had a chance to take a bite and savor the meal, replaced it with Spam this year. But don't let the disappointment and bad taste this team left in our mouths this year make us lose sight of what he has done with the roster overall.
