Quote:To me, this is exactly what a "true" rebuild looks like, and quite frankly, I'm happy they decided to gut the players that should have been gone anyways. Rebuilds are miserable, but performing a "true" rebuild is the right way to do it IMHO.

 

I disagree. A team in its second year of a "true rebuild" should not be getting destroyed every week like the previous year.

 

I don't know what people think a rebuild is but it is not a 4-5 year-long process. This should be the year that the Jaguars should be competing with teams. It's just that Caldwell did not do enough to put this team in a position to compete and that falls squarely on his shoulders.

 

And that doesn't make him a bad GM. Every GM makes mistakes, but the sooner we stop hailing Caldwell and Bradley as the saviors of the franchise, the clearer we can see those mistakes, and the less disappointed we'll be if it doesn't pan out, just like Gene Smith.
