Quote:Who is Bradley's boss?  It's Dave Caldwell.  Who was in for the hire of Bradley?  It's Dave Caldwell.  Who agreed to give Gus an Extension?  It's Dave Caldwell. etc etc

 

If Caldwell went to Khan and said He wanted Gus gone, Khan would back him. 

 

It's not all about Coaching either.  Joeckle lacks the strength to play LT in the nfl, Bortles can't make wide open throws, Fowler is not an edge rusher, the offensive and defense line continue to be a problem after 4 years.  The coaches are responsible but they can only coach average talent so far.   Caldwell has missed on his drafts.  My first question I had about him was he retained some of Gene Smith's college scouts.  It all starts with the top.

 

I agree and have finally come around to the GM being an issue.

 

The plan was a long term plan and the patience required was understandable but...   we are now being lapped by the division and other teams that had a one or two year downturn. 

 

Our plan was...

1. "hope" the acquisitions would fix the offensive line. - FAIL

2. Sit the fundamentally flawed QB ala Aaron Rodgers path to success - FAIL (I'm guilty because I saw the experience being worth while)

3. Focus fully on Offense first even thought the Coach is a "defense" guy - FAIL

4. Extend the coach so free agents would want to come here - FAIL

5. Win the Off Season to generate ticket sales despite a bad on field project while you preach patience - WIN
