Quote:I disagree. GMs miss on first round QBs more than they hit on them. I don't see it as such a cardinal sin. Franchise QBs are incredibly hard to find. Why shouldn't a GM get two cracks at it?

Because it's not just Bortles, it's Joeckel, it's Yeldon, it's the free agents who haven't panned out. For all the talent he's acquired, he's also had his fair share of busts as well. The team hasn't become what everyone hoped, and while it is often the head coach that bites the dust first, it is not uncommon to see the GM go as well. Bradley is partly at fault because he hasn't got the best out of this team, but equally it is Caldwell that put it together so he has a fair amount of blame for this situation as well.


So is he in a position to go to Khan and tell him that Bortles is a bust? I don't think so because he would need to sell Khan on getting it right second time round and would need more time. I just don't see Khan going with that when taking everything into account. If Caldwell is to stay, I think he needs to get Khan to believe that a new head coach is what they need to take that next step, because as soon as it becomes a new head coach and a new quarterback, it is like going up to someone for an extension on an extended deadline - more often than not, it doesn't go well.
