Quote:This is very uniformed. Im sorry, you can do this for any GM. First off, who was better this year at 2 than Joekel? Where was the franchise QB in this draft? Was there really anyone better value wise than him? Plus our line was awful. Sure, we could of drafted Jordan or Ansah, but would they really of made this team that better off? Same for Monroe with Gene, that was the best player on the board with a need, thats an unfair comparison. 

 

Parted ways with aging LB? really? You comparing what Gene did with Peterson to Caldwell with Smith? They both wanted more money than what they were worth and are old. 

 

Florence was over paid, Cox wanted to get paid more than he was worth. Plus Jags offered Cox a deal, he turned it down. 

 

Landry was overrated, Deon Grant i agree we should of kept. 

 

Did you want us to fix every hole in one year, who would we replace the O line and D line problems with? Obviously i think they  have an idea of how bad we are. 

 

Did you want Caldwell to cut the punter and kicker to fit your agenda? Terrible comparison. 

 

None of you criticisms address the fact that Caldwell made many of the same moves as Gene.
 Your comment about Daryl Smith and Peterson even confirms it was the same circumstance in that particular case. In my comment I made no judgements about the moves. Feel free to decide for yourself which ones were good and which ones were bad.

 

Of course there were different methods for some of the moves, and while Gene may have filled position A with a draft pick and position B with a free agent, Caldwell may have done the reverse, But that doesn't change the fact that Caldwell and Gene changed exactly the same number of starters at mostly the same positions, both GMs using draft picks and cheap free agency.

And the safety I was referring to was Sensabaugh, not Deon Grant who left two years earlier (hence the Reggie Nelson pick).
