How would you rate GM Dave Caldwells performance so far?

#66

Quote:Monroe, Brewster, Meester, Nwaneri, Whimper. The offensive line was a disaster when Caldwell was hired. Monroe was the only solid player on the OL. It will be much better next year with Linder back and Cann at LG. Joeckel and Parnell aren't Pro Bowlers, but they are better than what the Jags had in the entire JDR era. It's very possible the Jags sign Mack at center next year, and if not then Wiz is not a liability.


 

The defensive line is also better, the big problem there is with coaching. Trying to play the Seattle defense without a true LEO is idiotic. We still need a pass rusher; they don't grow on trees.


 

The CBs are fine (again, it's on the coaching staff that Gratz plays instead of McCray). The safeties leave a lot to be desired. I agree it was a mistake to let Lowery and Landry go.


 

He should have also kept Smith, Jennings, and Knighton. I'm willing to overlook some mistakes at the very beginning of his tenure, especially since he couldn't make changes to the scouting staff until after the 2013 draft. His 2014 draft was exceptional, the 2015 draft looks good, although the jury is still out on Fowler.
I agree with most of this. Smith was old and coming of an injury. Hindsight is 20/20 on that call.. .lowery/Knighton/Brandon Marshall and JT THomas were head scratchers .  This defense would most definitely be better with those players.
