Agreed 100% on Baalke. I'm starting to wonder about Khan as a human being, if Baalke and Meyer are the types of people he considers friends. They all seem like ego-maniacs to me with biting personalities. They don't seem like a fun group of guys. If I were to find out any of the guys on my list of candidates had those personality traits, they would immediately be eliminated from the running.

Sad part about Shenault is he was known to need work as a WR coming out of school.  It was known he had issues running routes.  But I didn't see him doing any of the bad things he is doing now like stopping on his routes.  I said this in another thread, but I blame Sanjay Lal for this.

I can't speak to whether Baalke is ego driven or not.  He could be just short tempered.  But Polian was known for his temper as well, and I'd take him over Baalke every day of the week, even with him being retired over a decade now.  Polian knew how to evaluate talent and had a much higher hit percentage than Baalke.

The thing about Shenault was that he was an unfinished product. Colorado moved him around to so many positions that he really didn't get a chance to get really good at one position. They just saw an athlete and decided to play him wherever. While that may be a good strategy in college, you're really doing the player no favors. He's missing out on reps and experience to excel at one skillset. Too many coaches are looking for "weapons" nowadays, when they should be looking for players who are very good at one position.
