Caldwell pulled off some phenomenal trades, picked up pretty decent players, and then some that didn't work out as planned...Every GM has that...His plan of acquiring (good) seasoned vets and then only keeping them for 3 years and dumping them while drafting and developing players and then retaining them as NFL ready players able to step into the FA spots when they were released was seemingly a good plan but it didn't work...Caldwell's undoing came from ignoring the QB position, or trying too hard to find "a steal" at qb in the later rounds rather than to move up and go for the best in the draft. Had he drafted one of the best at the top of one of the drafts he presided over, we wouldn't be posting in a thread titled "Caldwell Fired", (IMO) anyway. I remember it was always "NEXT YEAR" We didnt find a QB we liked enough but next years draft is deeper and we will get one then...Then Next year, same thing
