Quote:Every player at every position is important, but you can find good players at every position in lots of places except for QB. It's very rare for elite QBs to be available in free agency unless they have some career threatening injury like Peyton and Brees had.

 

If Caldwell is worth his salt he'll build up the roster, but it'll be finding a QB that really measures him. If he doesn't he'll be gone in a few seasons when it's clear the team isn't going toget over the Andrew Luck hump under his guidance.

 

If Caldwell does build up a strong roster, will he be on the cutting block if he doesn't find a QB though? Do you think the GM for Cincinnati is in danger of losing his job? He's put together a nice little roster there and Dalton can at least hold the fort until someone better comes along. I think the same can be said for Caldwell. If he were to develop a Cincinnati-esque roster and got Henne-esque play from the Quarterbacks spot, I don't think he'd be in danger of losing his job.

 

Now, if the situation carried on for season after season then a change might be in order but I wouldn't have a problem with a team being a perennial playoff contender based on overall roster strength.
