If it "isn't even true" then by all means tell us which offensive lineman, either drafted or free agent, is playing better now than on arrival.

As far as your second question, it's likely that some of them were just bad players. No GM is perfect. But who can tell? My take here is that Caldwell can't be criticized on his OL picks because they never had a chance. Most of them looked good when they first arrived.

How convinient.

Caldwell sucks,  do you guys really need me to post all his fails again? most FA's before Coughlin were utter garbage.

Feel free to criticize Caldwell on other things. If he's replaced hopefully it's because Khan knows a lot more than I do. I can only apply logic to what I know. If Caldwell was responsible for hiring Marrone/Wash/Hackett in 2017, if he was the one who insisted on Fournette, if he was the one who insisted on signing Foles, then he needs to go.

As far as free agents before Coughlin, Beadles sucked on arrival as did Gerhart. Julius Thomas was a major disappointment, mostly because of injury. But Marks was a great signing. Miller was a solid run stuffer as he was supposed to be. Blackmon was solid at CB in 2013. Odrick, Parnell, Beachum, and House had good first seasons with the team. Malik Jackson was a good signing. That's about all I can think of as far as starters.

Note the same trend here as with the OL, most of them (DTs are the exception) were fine on arrival and sucked starting in year 2.

We had two good position coaches before 2017, Wash at DL and the WR coach who's name I forget. Every other position coach failed to develop players.
