Quote:Let me spell it out for you. DAVE IS A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM.

I don't think Caldwell has anything to do with play development.

 

But... go on?

 

As a rookie GM he made a lot of mistakes but he's improved each season. And his contracts to free agents have always been team friendly which hasn't put us in any sort of binds. With the rookie wage scale, we don't have to worry about being tied to a 3rd overall selection beyond 3 or 4 seasons.....

 

Caldwell has cornerstone pieces in place at all 3 levels on defense. He has 3/5 Oline positions solidified. A plethora of WR talent. QB is a ? but nothing is a done deal with Bortles just yet, and the Allen kid might actually be pretty good in his own right. We need a playmaker RB, we probably need to readdress TE and add more to the Oline. But I don't think Caldwell is the reason this team can't close out games or keeps beating themselves with pop warner problems.

 

As much as I've defended Bradley over the seasons... this is clearly just like the Wade Phillips Cowboys who had all the talent in the world and couldn't get over .500.

We need a staff that maximizes the roster's talent instead of misusing or not using it.

 

EDIT: I know DC chose Bradley. He was a fiery coach from a defense that was all the rage. I'm sure ATL will regret their decision with Quinn too.

Don't hire the scheme, hire the man. I think DC will make a better choice the second time around.
