For Those Upset Caldwell and/or Marrone Weren't Fired

Bortles was Dave's guy.  110%  Even before he let the rest of the staff weigh in.

Dave deserves to go down with the QB.

Put someone in the position who has a proven track record.

Dave doesn't have that.

GM's and Assistant GM's with proven track records are not readily available.

Caldwell is basically an Assistant GM now, in charge of scouting. If you are letting go of Caldwell, it is for more than just QB. It is the entire talent level on the offense. He has used draft capital at every position other than TE, and most of those players have not met their draft slot.

Additionally, the perennially good teams know that not every position can be filled via draft/FA, so they figure out position groups they develop from UDFA. Jags have had a few a WR flash that meet that criteria, but have not succeeded there in years.

You cannot run a team if you cannot properly scout 1 side of the ball.
