Quote:I don't necessarily disagree with the above, but it isn't like the naysayers have been wrong the last 6 years. Those who have hated all the moves up to this point have been more right then those who have defended this franchise up to this point.

 

That's true -- but I think a little patience is always warranted.

 

That goes for both sides.  


With Gene Smith you had the "IN GENE WE TRUST" squad who defended every move he made.  Alualu?  Great pick!  You find talent where you find talent.  Gabbert needs time to develop, he needs an o-line, he needs receivers, it's the coaching staff.  Gene needs more time.  Cox is really great, but he's always injured.   Our defense just really needs to get healthy.  This team is CLOSE.

 

And then you have the "INCOMPETENCE INC" squad who attack every move a GM makes.  Monroe?  WE JUST GOT TWO LATE ROUND PICKS?!  Did we really take an LT in the first?  SMH This team is going nowhere.

 

Fans can and should discuss the moves, and if they think they're good or not (that's why we have this board after all, I should think).  Fans shouldn't however be quick to judge Caldwell.  Already I've seen people say he's worse than Gene Smith.  You may not agree with his moves, but if they get results then it won't matter.
