Bradley? Khan's fault!
Bortles? there wasn't a franchise QB in 2014 or 2015 so should we really blame him for at least trying by selecting Bortles? I don't think so!
It's known that Caldwell wanted Mahomes but since Khan gave all the power to that old guy we went Fournette! If we would have let Mr Caldwell do his job we would have Mahomes right now! probably a SB too!
Also who choose Marrone! the old guy!!! 
Thank God Caldwell at least conviced the old guy to draft Allen, bring Calais and Bouye otherwise who knows what that guy would have done to our franchise
Caldwell is yet to make a mistake while being our GM, the guy is a genius!!!

You're big on hyperbole.

Coughlin was probably responsible for Calais, Bouye, Norwell, and the rest of the free agent signings from 2017 to 2019, so he gets the credit there.

Allen and Ramsey were clearly no-brainer picks. Even Gene Smith wouldn't have missed on those. I'd guess Bryan was a Caldwell pick and Fournette a Coughlin pick since that seems to fit the style of each. I'd also guess Caldwell made the Bortles re-sign mistake and Coughlin the Foles mistake.

I didn't think that Khan was responsible for Bradley, but two other posters corrected me. So yes he was. The Jags could have won the division in 2015 with anything close to a competent defensive coordinator. Bradley's climate was responsible for at least a few failures in player development; a lot of players had their first year with the Jags as their best year with the Jags, including both draft picks and free agent signings. So you might as well just throw out the W/L record of the first four years. If you want to point out specific mistakes in the draft then Caldwell is fair game.

So yeah, Caldwell has made a lot of mistakes. You could say that of every GM. Who would you want as the Jags GM to replace Caldwell (not counting the GMs of other teams since they can't be hired)? I remember when TMD kept pushing for Phil Savage LOL.
