Quote:That's one way to go...  But I think Caldwell could make a very good arguement that the inept coaching under Bradley caused BB5 to be developed poorly.

 

The fact that it's clear BB5 has regressed and is not getting better from last year shows that the coaching is bad.  Caldwell is not responsible for develpment of talent, just bringing it in.  So I think he gets a pass.  If after you bring in another coach and he fails after 3 or 4 years, then both Caldwell and that coach go and we're back to square one.

 

I normally would agree with this assertion, what's different about Blake's "development" is he has fundamental problems that are extremely difficult to fix. I think his decision making will get better as he continues to play more, but his nearly impossible for guys to "fix" a throwing motion, a motion he's had ever since he's been throwing a ball. That motion has a direct result on his accuracy/ball placement, not to mention the elongated motion basically eliminates the short to intermediate passing game by taking defenders right to the ball.
