Quote:I'm in the crowd that would be OK with Caldwell staying.  However, I think most us would have no heartburn if he was fired too.

 

The biggest argument for Caldwell is that any legit HC would have this team around .500.

 

I personally believe he has learned each year and became a better GM along the way.

 

I do hold him responsible for Bradley being a bust, and Bortles.  But with it being clear that he has grown as a GM, I think he will pick a better coach this time around.  I also think he would do better at finding a franchise QB (in all honesty, just about every GM misses on a QB).

 

While GMs always make mistakes, I just see too much potential and talent on this team not to give him credit.  If he was fired today, I think he'd have a job tomorrow with another team (unlike Jeans Miff).

 

Just my 2 cents.

He whiffed on Bortles.  He is the pick 6 title holder, and cannot throw a spiral on a regular basis like a 3rd string QB can do.  I had high hopes for him, and I thought he was the real deal.  I'm not sure if its Gus, Bortles, or a combination of both for his blunders.  Maybe the defenses figured him out, and he doesn't know how to prevail.
