Quote:So what approach to turning the team around would you take?


I am not knocking you for your frustration. I get it.


But your closing line said you were pessimistic about this approach.


What should Caldwell have done differently, and what results would we be seeing now, given what he inherited from Gene Smith and the early schedule?
 

1. Hire a coach with a proven winning record as an NFL head coach ... John Gruden, Bruce Arians, 
Andy Reid ... (those were my top 3 choices at the time).

 

2. Keep some of the better players, Knighton, Daryl Smith, Cox, Lowery. None were expensive. Ball and Miller weren't particularly downgrades, but not upgrades either. Smith and Lowery are better than what we have.


 

3. Keep Monroe, and trade down if at all possible rather than drafting Joeckel. Why draft a replacement for the one really good player on the team?


 

 

4. Sign one of the seven(!) good RTs available in free agency in 2013.
