Quote: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.

 

Of course I mean season after season. Guys build winners then get fired on a regular basis. Look at AJ Smith with the Chargers. He built a great roster up and had lots of winning seasons and plenty of players sent to the pro bowl, and he got sacked eventually because his team didn't make it over the hump.

 

What will really be damning is if Caldwell does what Shack Harris did and passes on a guy that turns out to be a super bowl winning talent at QB. As long as he doesn't pass on a guy that goes on to be successful he'll likely get a lot of years of benefit of doubt. If he does pass on a guy that blows up that's when Khan will likely start feeling impatient.
