Fine: Then back to

if we insist on using our 4th or 5th best WR to return kicks, we must resign ourselves to 4th or 5th best WR performance. There's a reason these guys don't get on the field any other time.

I'd see if CJ can return kicks. Will he ever break a long one? No, but I think he's good enough to get it back to the 20 on the rare occasion that a kickoff is returnable in the first place. He's probably less of a fumble risk than Caldwell too.

Overall, though, I just don't think it matters who is returning kicks since it comes into play once, MAYBE twice per game. It's just not a good enough reason to keep Caldwell on the active roster.

Well to be fair KR isn't the only ST's role he plays, KO coverage and im fairly certain he's the gunner on Punt coverage.

It just seems like it shouldn't be that hard to teach that role to someone else. But I won't claim to be an expert on how those special teams roles work.
