He said he still watches them on "SportsCenter" and keeps track of their stats. As Caldwell was talking, he got a text message - from Patriots receiver Donté Stallworth. The Patriots have proven they don't need Caldwell, but the wide receiver is still figuring out life without them. His former team has flourished in his absence, after Caldwell became collateral damage in the offseason overhaul of the New England receiving corps. The Patriots even have pundits talking about a 16-0 season, with Tom Brady on pace to shatter Peyton Manning's season record of 49 TD passes, set in 2004. The leading receiver last year on a Patriots team that was one minute away from playing in the Super Bowl, Caldwell can't even get on the field for the Redskins. He's been relegated to inactive status for four of five games since signing with Washington Sept. 11. He doesn't expect to be in uniform today when his new team meets his former one at Gillette Stadium.

Never21Forgotten36 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 It's really hard to believe that Caldwell cannot even escape the inactive list here in Washington, as inept as our WR corps has been all year. He is either really, really bad, or he is not grasping the system like he should be. It is ashame because it is hard to believe that he would be unable to match Lloyd, Thrash, or Kenny Mac's production (even Moss at this point, actually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizSkinsO's Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I would play him today. I mean, WHY NOT? Its not like anybody else is lighting it up. Seriously. How the hell can he not get on the field here? Makes me think Saunders really has ridiculous expectations and has no idea what to look for in WR's. Really, he never developed anything great at the WR position in KC and only got good production really out of his RB's and Tony Gonzalez. I wonder how much of Lloyd not playing is really Brandon's fault--I see no reason to believe that Al knows what he's talking about with WR's if James Thrash gets the 3rd-most minutes of any receiver on our team yet can't catch the ball while Lloyd and the Patriots' leading receiver last year can't even get on the field. Really infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigSkinRodeo Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 what really gets me is why do you trade for people just not to use them or just to let them go the next season it's a waste to the team and a player for thinking they are going to play.. I mean duckett he played what 2 games got rid of him.. I mean caldwell is great to have but we need to use him.. Not playing him is a mistake.. I mean thrash should do kick off returns along side cartwright and put caldwell in trash pistion for offesive.. Why have depth if your not going to use it.. I do wish gibbs would of stay off cordinator.. He seem to give everyone a shot to prove themsleves.. Saunders seems to be one of those guys that if he doesn't think you can do it he won't use you.. Other than that go skins. Win or lose i'm still with you all the way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtyler42 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 He can't get on the field b/c Gibbs wants to keep BLloyd active...Moss, El, Lloyd, McCardell, Thrash that's our 5...Who do you sit to activate Caldwell? It doesn't have anything to do with picking up the system or even performing in practice...It's politics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 He can't get on the field because he sux. Brady made him look serviceable, but the truth is he's just another gator destined for NFL oblivion. The fact that he put up respectable stats last year just shows how freakin' good Brady is.
