Quote:What expensive RB did we pass up in free agency for Gerhart? What expensive LB was out there that we passed up for Hayes?

 

I get that Caldwell has had a few misses, but the above isn't really a fair knock.

 

Caldwell's drafts have been pretty good (for the most part), IMO. He's also hit on some FA's too, despite the obvious misses. 

 

I see the problem as much more of a coaching problem than a personnel problem. This coaching staff might be the worst in the entire league. Easily the worst pair of Coordinators in the entire league.....but, Caldwell is far from the worst GM in the league. Caldwell's biggest mistake is probably choosing Bradley.  Its never a good gamble to select a head coach that has no prior head coaching experience.

Oh lord, first off, saying what rb/lb Caldwell could have signed over said scrub is a total cop out if you will. The guy's job is to bring talent in first and foremost,and that's certainly not been the case so far. Blaming Bradley is ridiculous considering Caldwell is the one who signed him and put players together that fit his scheme. Trading away Monroe for nothing is very reminiscent of the scrub regimes from the previous years. Creating a whole when one was not there. Leftwich/ Brunnel, Alualu and Smith/ Henderson, and now Monroe/ Joeckel. As I alluded to previously, the frightening part is Caldwell will more than likely stick around longer then he should due to his luckbox pick via the Texans and Rams. Rebuild is the most [BLEEP] term that is continually worshipped on this board. How long do you rebuild for? Two decades?
