He's missed on QB, but as I stated in the other thread, this roster is in far better shape than it was when he first got here.

That's not hard to do where we were and where he picked in the draft.  His teams has won no more than 5 games in 4 of the 5 seasons he has been here.  I just have a bit higher standards for this team I guess especially with all the top 5 draft picks we had and possibly getting another with 1 more week left in the regular season

So we've had 5 straight top five picks under Caldwell, the first two are easily attributable to Gene Smith.

That is sufficient to fill a 53 man roster from worst record in the league to <3 minutes away from the Super Bowl?

Wins and losses?

I still blame those first two seasons on Gene Smith.  He wasn't going to turn that team around overnight.  Nobody was going to do that.

He hired Bradley, and that had damaging effects in '15 and '16.

He hired Marrone at the end of '16 and the team won when healthy.

This year, the offense was decimated by injury.

His biggest weakness was missing at QB.

But to say all of the top 5 picks were why he turned the team around completely misrepresents what transpired here.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
