Do you mean to saw that it was Caldwell in 2017 when the team was literally a few minutes away from the Super bowl?

Do you mean that Caldwell specifically acquired the OL and Nick Foles specifically for their propensity to be injured?

Was it Caldwell that created the higher expectations in 2018 and 2019?

I'm not following?  Why is it Caldwell's fault?

If you want to point to a single successful season amongst every other season being Godawful to defend Caldwell, that's your right, but Caldwell needs to be fired and a long time ago.

I'm so impressed with Caldwell finding talent drafting in the top 5 the majority of his tenure here. He should be proud.

Like Myles Jack and Yannick Ngakoue?

Top 5 picks like Telvin Smith and Allen Binson?

Do you realize how talent deprived the team was when he arrived?!?

As for 2018, how do you avoid season ending injuries to your top 3 LTs and 4 of 5 starting OLs?  How is any of that Caldwell's fault?

Is Caldwell flawless?  No.  He hired Bradley, drafted Bortlesand depending how much power he wields in the draft room after TC arrived you could argue he took Fournette instead of Mahomes or Watson, and the Taven Bryan pick.

But the bottom line is, despite the bad result today, the starting 22 coming into this season is much better than it has been dating back to the middle of the Shack Harris era, and as far as getting closer to the Super Bowl, exceeded every other GM after the first TC era.
