Well... despite a few on the internet, the overall thinking is Caldwell has done a decent enough job.

He'll get his shot with a 2nd coach.

 

3 of Caldwell's first rounders

Joker (improving despite criticism, it seems Beadles is a weaker link)

Bortles (possible franchise QB, long term manager at worst)

Fowler (injured in training camp, jury out)

 

Sure he's had some misses (Gerhart, the aforementioned Beadles, Watson)

but even his draft "misses" haven't been terrible Alualu and Gabbert swings.

 

his contracts have left this team in good position to spend more each offseason.

 

If a new coach regime takes over... I'm confident in this team having ENOUGH talent to add to, without needing a restart/rebuild.

 

QB, WR, and most of the Oline is in good condition.

JT gives us a threat at TE we've never had. And Yeldon should be a real good RB for a few years at least.

The defense is lacking especially the pass rush and it shows, hopefully Fowler adds to it, but the secondary is very much a work in progress and the LB corp could use a boost too.

 

Can't say we are "set" at any position on D like we can say about offense.

But in 3 drafts and offseasons Caldwell blew up a roster and made it competitive, and has left many believing coaching isn't getting the most out of the roster.

 

The defense (yet again) is the reason we're losing games.

I know Bortles can't throw INTs, especially pick sixes... but he isn't quite ready to put the team on his shoulders by himself.

not yet...
