I'm not going to defend everyone of Caldwells moves, but that is some awwful analysis and shows how little he follows whats going on in the league (considering its his job)

 

He makes a point about Gerhardt and maybe Jeremy Parnell.. but he fails to realize that they compete with 32 other teams for free agents and it's not like there are elite players everywhere to nab up. After 3 years with Caldwell we see what he does. He likes to sign FA's that have potential upside or project into starters. He doesn't sign 30 year old names that will burn out. He tried hard to get some big guys this season and I think that's commendable, he stuck to his breaking point on Murray and Suh (the Suh Contract is so insane) and they ended up with some interesting projection players. I really like House and Parnell, I don't think these signings stop the Jags from drafting Corners or Tackles at all and if they dont work out, what was the real risk there? 

 

The QB away comment was far away from reality... That team was in such bad shape, It was hard to see Smith and Mathis go, but there was no need to re-sign them. There were holes everywhere. I would have liked to have seen Monroe stay, but he's nothing special really. 

 

It goes back to Gene Smith and a little bit of Shack Harris... Smith was a bad GM, he gave up on a draft class and picked a punter in the 3rd round. He might have been a decent scout but his draft decisions were what put this team into the hole it got in, not near a player away.
