If we don't cut bait on monroe we don't waste the pick on joeckel


If we don't cut the entire secondary year one we don't waste a draft class on gratz,mccray,cyprien and evans


The problem with Caldwell was he had this vision and cut anyone that didn't fit hos scheme that was years away from coming into focus. He bet big he could rebuild the roster from scratch to play this scheme and created more holes in an already awful roster. He than proceeded to miss on key positions.


You miss on QB, Lt and coach you lose.

I'll copy and paste my response to you from the other thread:

Quote:Monroe is out of the league now. He wasn't in the teams future plans and obviously wasn't worth the 30 million dollar contract he signed in Baltimore. What good would it have done to hold onto him?


We cut a bunch of scrubs in our secondary who are all out of the league now. Again, what would it have done to hold onto bottom of the roster guys?

Did he really miss on Bortles or has the coaching staff failed to properly coach and develop him? He was pretty damn good last year and fell off a cliff this year. That's not normal Eric. That points the finger directly at the coaching staff on why we have the mess we're looking at.


Now an argument can be made that he failed on hiring the wrong coach. That's a point I'll happily concede. But normally that's not grounds for termination. Usually a GM will be given a chance to correct that mistake albeit placed on a short leash. If he's fired it'll be for that reason, not because the team lacks talent.
