Quote:My only problem with year one is as follows.....


Your the GM and you know that the draft is weak to average from top to bottom. You also know that the free agent group isn't where you want to spend your money.


So why do you sell a three year plan to the owner/fan base? The answer is they knew it was a 5 year plan and not a 3 year plan. This year we will see improvement but this year isn't going to meet fans expectations. We are being conned a little bit.

Do you really think fans of this, or any other team for that matter, would be willing to embrace a GM that says "I need at least 4-5 years to resurrect this franchise from the ashes"?


It takes 3-4 years to determine if a draft pick is a bust or not, and no one drafts all great players. Anyone who feels conned probably had unrealistic expectations to begin with.


Furthermore, Caldwell didn't sell a 3 year plan to Khan (his deal is 5 years), and I still haven't seen the link stating where he sold a 3 year plan to the fan base that everyone keeps talking about.


It is what it is at this point, fellers. Caldwell has hit some, missed some. If he hits on Blake and Fowler, he'll be considered a decent GM. Gus Bradley on the other hand, is starting to prove incapable of developing talent. This team isn't where it wants to be, and they may not be where they thought they'd be at this point either, but I certainly don't blame Khan for not giving his guys a chance to right the ship before it sinks. Doug Marrone has already shown the ability to abandon a perfectly good ship; I wouldn't want him taking the reigns either.
