Dave Caldwell 26th best GM in league

I don't mind the rankings. But it's hilarious how badly this critic contradicts himself.

 

So he goes onto say that obviously his best selection was Allen Robinson. Okay, that's fine. Can't argue that.

 

Then he goes onto say that Julius Thomas was his worst signing? How do you figure that? Thomas only played in what? 10 or 12 regular season games last year? And during a certain stretch you could see chemistry developing between him and Bortles. It's WAY too early to make that decision on this signing.

 

Now, the best part. He goes onto say he appreciates the slow burn and hard work Caldwell has put into rebuilding this team over the last three years. But it's not enough. DESPITE the fact that we're recovering from Gene Smith, who he deemed arguably the worst GM of all-time.

 

Just think about that for a minute. Whoever wrote that for USA Today didn't do enough homework or think things through quite yet.

 

As far as our worst signing? Can you really throw Gearhart on there? His contract was more security towards our cap than anything. It's not like we suffered any signifcant fiancial setbacks on that one. The worst signing I think you can say so far in his three years is probably Zane Beadles maybe? Zane didn't really pan out at the LG spot. I don't recall us really breaking the bank for him though. But by far, he was a let down during his tenure here.
