Quote:You're joking about Caldwell right?

 

Hurns, Davis, Abry Jones are 3 UDFA's that are contributing hard to the team right now that he's picked up in the past year.

He's drafted guys like Smith & Smith who are contributing as rookies, Gratz who plays well, Cyprien who has had good games and for the most part is a good safety (despite what you think). He's drafted Allen Robinson who has been great, he got Dennard in the FIFTH ROUND and look at how well he is running. He drafted a legit starting center in the SIXTH round who is performing pretty well for a rookie. He drafted Linder who is grading as one of the best guards in the league.

 

The one guy who should not be on the hot seat is Dave Caldwell, he's doing a good job...

Compare Abry Jones to Alualu and D'Anthony Smith-two guys drafted much higher at the same position.

 

Compare Linder to every Gene Smith 3rd round pick.  It's not even close.

 

Allen Robinson?  Hurns?  Can any Gene Smith WR pick match their overall potential or productivity?  Mike Thomas had 48 catches his rookie year.  Robinson already averages more per catch, already has a longer reception, already has more yards and TDs and he's playing with a rookie QB.  Hurns, nearly doubles Thomas' YPC, is on a pace to surpass his receptions total, already has more yards, and obliterates Thomas'TDs.  Oh year, there are still 7 games left to play this season.

 

One minor correction:  Gene Smith brought in Ryan Davis his last year.

 

However, your overall point remains sound.

 

Caldwell definitely is not the problem with this team.
