To be fair he said the coach didn't call JRob because they had a draftable grade on him and he assumed he had already been picked up by a team, but that just raises other concerning questions.

Point being, we got really lucky to have JRob and Dave gets none of the credit. If anything the RB coaches wife is the best GM we've had in more than a decade.

First let me preface this with: At this point I want DC fired after this year.

-This story sounds like utter [BLEEP].  If the RB coach is on record, Ok then I guess.
-They had a draftable grade on him meaning Dave/ his scouts liked him at least a little.  According to this stupid story at least.
-Dave would have had a huge hand in recognizing the talent after Robinson arrived in camp and ultimately deciding to cut his highly drafted predecessor.  If nothing else can we recognize that decision took some balls.  He knew he was going to get panned for that move and still pulled the trigger.  I called the decision completely stupid at the time.  

It is OK to give credit to Caldwell for his good moves and acknowledge he has made too many poor moves to be retained.

utter [BLEEP] indeed
if they had a draftable grade on him, he'd be the first one called up when dialing up udfa's. No one assumes someone was drafted or signed as an udfa.

And on this board it is absolutely not okay to give Caldwell (or anyone in the organization) credit for good moves unless you want to be labeled an apologist or homer or Caldwell's wife lol
There is no middle ground in this world anymore. It's one extreme or another.

Pretty sure we all want to move on at this point. Although, not sure what some of these people will do with all their hate once Caldwell is gone. Suppose there will be more "Khan needs to sell the team" threads to replace all the "fire Caldwell" threads.
