His QB is now benched, his Coach was an epic mistake and the guy we promoted in his place is leading an effort to fall apart in year 2. Last year is looking more and more like fools gold.

I'm beginning to think the best attribute of any GM is the ability to discern when one makes mistakes. Every GM will make mistakes, but not every GM is willing to quickly move on from them. I think Caldwell has a gift for evaluating talent. You don't sack a guy who picks up Yan in the third round on a whim, for example. That said, his Achilles heel has been too much patience with his prized first rounders, Joeckel and now Bortles. 

I don't think Caldwell should be made the fall guy for this almost lost season, but he'll need to accept some humble pie with Blake. Likewise, Coughlin will have to accept some humble pie for Fournette, as his handprints are all over that mistake. I still believe in this pairing. I hope they'll learn from their mistakes.
