To me the problem is he was handed a poop roster, told to tear it down and rebuild, then right at the crux of what he’d built, a “superior” was brought in who may or may not have undercut or reversed his vision.  Then said superior is let go, and he has to again try to build from zero with his vision.  

It’s just tough to get a proper read with the timing of the moves made in our front office football operations.  Fournette was pretty clearly a Coughlin pick, and rumor has it Dave wanted Mahomes, but Mahomes wouldn’t be Mahomes under Marrone the same as he is under Reid.  And that’s still just rumor.  Calais was also pretty clearly Coughlin, and there’s no faulting that move.  

I think Dave’s biggest weakness has been the coaching he puts in charge of his roster.  But then supposedly Gus was Khan’s guy, not Dave’s.  Marrone was Coughlin’s, not Dave’s.  So who the hell knows.

Yeah, Caldwell has never made a mistake as a GM. He was told to hire Bradley, he was told to tear down the roster remaining from Gene, he was told to draft Fournette. He probably was told (got bad advice) to draft Bortles too.

I thought Caldwell was a grown man and a GM for a NFL team, not some lil kid that can't make his own choices.
