The problem is philosophical and if the Caldwell plan had worked we would be 6-6 like the rest of the division.  They went for a long term plan that focused on one side of the ball over the other, starting with offense because the rules favor offense.  This plan also was based on sitting Bortles until he could fix his deficiencies and the line was good enough to support him.  Then we would round out the "process" with Gus's super special defense filled out this year to play his scheme.

 

We were patient enough to reach this point but not sit the QB.  My personal hindsight was believing fools gold last year.  Honestly they should have stayed committed to sitting him.  The fan base would have been upset but the front office didn't believe we would compete until last year/this year anyway.

 

When you compromise your plan you hit some road blocks.  BB got beat around too much his first 2 years and we didn't have the coaching staff to keep him comitted to a real improvement plan.  If you don't have the right coach and the right QB you'll look like our team.

 

It is unreal the gameplan that teams are executing to great effect against this team.
