Think about how many 1st and 2nd rounders are no longer on the team with his 8 years here.  It's really bad.

Look at the 1st rounders left on the team. None are close to superstar status.

I argue that Caldwell was worse for this franchise than Gene Smith.   Caldwell had 8 years and outside of 1 kept this team a bottom feeder. I don't even credit him with the playoff run because Coughlin was the man in charge.

No one and I mean no one, is as bad as Gene Smith.

Gene Smith had a much shorter reign here.

Gene Smith also had a cheap owner in Weaver and no where near the draft capital to work with.  Yes Gene Smith was total trash but when you factor in the amount of spending and draft capital Dave had it is ridiculous.  Dave Almost had a decade and turn this team into one of the worst franchise's of all time in the 2010-2020 Decade.  Dave was the man for most of that decade.
