Your source?

Didn't Meyer say he didn't watch the NFL? he didn't even know this team. Was he the one who decided against going for Trent Williams, Hendrickson, Hunter Henry? was he the one who decided the O-line was fine and he didn't need to upgrade it? 
If Baalke did none of that, still why should we keep him then? Kinda funny how Baalke was known to draft players who had injury problems/major injuries and we ended up drafting Little and Cisco.

Juts amazing how this fan base is always making stupid excuses for garbage GMs.

Caldwell never made a mistake while being on the Jags, it was all Coughlin's fault.
Now Baalke is innocent and every bad move was/is on Meyer.

You obviously have a reading comprehension problem.  It was being argued that there was no chance the Jaguars would sign a top tier free agent this year.  I offered three possible reasons why that might not be true.  You completely ignore two of my reasons and pretend like I didn't even say them.  As for the one you did focus on, it's obvious that you lack understanding of the word "may", so I'll help you out.  If you google the definition of "may", it says:

verb:  expressing possibility

Byron Leftwich may be the Jaguars next head coach.  Nathaniel Hackett may be the next head coach.  Baalke may have developed last year's free agency strategy.  Urban Meyer may have developed last year's free agency strategy.  All of these statements can be said at the same time with no source being needed as they are just expressing possibilities.  If you are arguing it is impossible that Meyer developed the free agency strategy, then YOU are the one who should provide a source as that is a statement of fact.

You also seem to have difficulty comprehending that saying that Baalke might sign top tier free agents IS NOT the same thing as supporting Baalke as GM.  Let me be clear:  I DON'T!!!!!  I didn't like when he was initially hired two years ago.  I didn't like when he was retained last year.  I didn't like that he wasn't fired along with Meyer.  I even supported the clown movement in hopes that it might put pressure on Khan to fire Balke.  I'm very clearly on record on all of these points and never suggested anything otherwise in my message. 

You then somehow out of nowhere jump to Caldwell without having any basis for your accusations.  Once again, you are just flat out wrong.  I was strongly opposed to retaining Caldwell after his fourth season.  I was 100% opposed to retaining him in 2020.  Again, I'm very clearly on record here and never suggested otherwise.    

Try working on your reading comprehension and stop trying to put words in my mouth for things I clearly didn't say.
