How could he have singularly ruined the 49ers if he has those accolades-besides from maybe driving away Harbaugh?

The critics would argue that the early success was due to players mostly acquired prior to him being GM and the team just got worse the longer Baalke ran things.  Let's just take the record of 51-44-1.  It doesn't sound that bad.  Hypothetically, if it went as follows, I think most people would be pleased:

Season 1:  2-14
Season 2:  5-11
Season 3:  8-8
Season 4:  12-4
Season 5:  11-4-1
Season 6:  13-3

However, that's not what happened.  The reality is reversed.  His actual records went as follows:

Season 1:  13-3
Season 2:  11-4-1
Season 3:  12-4
Season 4:  8-8
Season 5:  5-11
Season 6:  2-14

That's the concern.

Come on man those are hate stats, stop it! You're making my head hurt! 

It's a bad hire. I'd argue at best we have another Caldwell, we did not improve and we may have even severely downgraded the GM spot. I kinda feel bad for Dave, as soon as his team was seen into fruition(FINALLY) in 2017, after several years of building, we bring in ole Tom(love ya Tom, but ya [BLEEP] us) and made Dave into a puppet to Tom. Then old man Tom practically threw a hand grenade at the roster. Then Shad goes and plays GM and strips him of his duties again. It has been 1 major disfunction with Khan as owner, with the hires we've made I dont see it changing. I'd like to be 100% wrong though.
