Quote: If sticking to the plan and strong belief in it is enough to keep Caldwell, then why not Gus?  I'm personally not too high on DC. He has had some late-round hits, but the top has had some questionable ones. I know that a GM won't hit every pick, but IMO he's as much responsible for the first two years of mess that happened...a fact he even admits (which you cited).

 

But like I said, to me, if you keep DC, then you better KNOW he's the guy. That if you bring in a new coach, that you know he'll pick the right candidate this time. That one-two years down the road, if you're Shad, you're not staring at another possible rebuild wondering "is it the HC or is it the GM?"

 

Keep DC, ok. But you better be sure of it. Right now, I don't think he's in the "I'm sure of him" threshold

 

 

BB5 looks like a hit...  So does AR15 who was a second rounder...  Yeldon is a 2nd rounder that looks legit too...  Cyp had a bad game, but he contributes.  Joeckel has actually stopped the bleeding and is becoming solid...

 

The guy got a 6th rounder for Gabbert and a 6th rounder for a washed up Scobee...  I'm sorry, but the GM is doing a pretty darn good job...

 

Beadles had a garbage game today and Gerhart sucks...  But don't act as though we aren't getting some players that are gonna be really good in this league...
