I keep looking at Dave Caldwell. Then I compare him to Ryan Grigson. Grigson orchestrated a one year turnaround. From the end of 2011 season to the 2012 season there were 27 new players on the Colts roster. They turned over half their roster in one off-season! They had a great draft. And they were active in pro free agency. And they went from a dismal loser to a playoff team in one year.

But one thing made that possible: drafting Andrew Luck. It cannot be overestimated that drafting the best QB in a generation made that dramatic turnaround possible. HOWEVER, without Luck they could have signed a solid FA QB and the turnaround would have still been impressive. They would have gained 6-8 wins over the previous season and given their fans reason to hope and cheer.

So, while one can't check out on Caldwell (way too early), it's clear that if the team were not content to sit on millions in excess salary cap, the Jags could be playing respectable, competitive ball right now.

Fix the O-Line!
