But if somone says they WILL do something - as Khan said in the press conference - and then shows very little effort in doing it, then says "gee I've changed my mind" . . . that sounds like lying to me. 

Khan's willful stubborness in refusing to listen to the entire world with regards to Baalke, including the team's fans (read that as, his customers), offers me no reason to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think this was planned from the time they had the press conference. Make promises, let things cool down, then "change our minds" and hope the fans just accept it. 

I think we've been conned - or should I say "khanned".

As much as I like Pederson as the head coach, I'm a little disgusted in him for taking part in this farce. 

And so we will have another cycle of Baalke's patented "value player" free agency signings and draft, with a focus on injured players.

I hope they prove me wrong. I hope they get some awesome, marquee linemen, an edge rusher or WRs in free agency. I hope they draft players that aren't broken because they're value picks. Based on observations of past performance, however, I have little faith that will happen.
