People need to stop bagging on Toby. He can't block for himself. He'll be fine. I'm awaiting judgement until Bortles is playing and the Oline is at least starting it's future 5 all at once (Bowanko @ C and Paz at RT)

Beadles hasn't been a great pick up so far... but every GM misses on some picks and FA's sometimes. And maybe his play has been bad because of poor play from the C next to him?

 

I'm not faulting Caldwell for our teams struggles just yet.

 

Caldwell hasn't had a bone headed Smith pick yet.

Alualu had many people scratching their heads. Trading up for Gabbert wasn't popular. Punter in the 3rd. Trading away future picks for an oft hurt Cox in the 3rd. Signing M. Thomas to an extension.

 

These were all seriously critical moves in Smith's tenure.

 

If Caldwell's biggest head scratchers are signing a former Heisman candidate with fresh legs to replace our aging "star" RB and signing a veteran LG in an attempt to fix a horrible Oline, I'm OK with it. Even if they don't pan out, he can bounce back from those moves by drafting guys that develop into starters. He's had two drafts and some good picks within them. Bortles is key. His success, even if not measured in W's and L's, will be the big factor in seat temperature.
