Quote:The most important attribute of any leader of any organization whether it be in sports or the corporate world is foresight, making decisions that are conducive to long term continuous success rather than short term gains, no matter how much pressure there is to do the opposite. This was evident when David Caldwell didn't draft a QB this past April despite the pressure from both the media and fans. DC is clearly targeting a QB in the 2014 NFL Draft, and that has obviously been the plan from the start of his tenure, he made the right decision by not wasting an important resource (draft pick) on a guy that didn't meet that vision in the 2013 NFL draft.



 

This was also evident in the Eugene Monroe trade, the Jaguars weren't going to extend on franchise tag Eugene at seasons end, and so getting back multiple resources (draft picks) for a player who isn't a part of the future was the absolute right move, no matter what fans are the media think. David Caldwell was hired to build a long term sustainable winning organization, and all of the moves that have been made so far suggest the plan hasn't changed, despite the pressure from the fans and he media to do the opposite.
