Dave Caldwell was very bad at his job.
He was not good at some of it. He was not good at one or two things. He was very bad at everything. He was the worst general manager this franchise has ever known and arguably the worst at his position throughout the league.
And it’s okay to be happy he’s been fired.
The bread and butter of any general manager in the NFL is two-fold: franchise quarterbacks and first round draft picks. If you don’t do either one of those well, your football team will struggle.
Dave Caldwell failed at both.
