Have we been too harsh on Baalke?

In my mind, he has to be somewhat complicit. At the end of the day - he failed to convince team ownership not to make a horrible decision and this is part of the job. 

If he didn't fight, he's a fool. If he did fight, he didn't fight enough. 

And, yes, there are many variables we don't know that could paint Baalke in a better light. Could also go the other way. 

I'm glad he had a solid FA period this offseason and last year's draft looks solid or better, but I'm not trying to just look past the obvious mistakes until I see enough to constitute a trend in the right direction.
I guess I don't understand how he was supposed to fight against the hire of Meyer.
For starters, how was anyone supposed to predict the complete disaster he was to become? He came in with all the hoopla and the ink on the contract had dried before the red flags started popping up.
I'm guessing Baalke did more to help the organization than we know in mitigating that cesspool of a season.

That's wrong in every sense. He had zero experience at this level; he abandoned his previous two jobs once the heat was catching up to him or he knew the ship was sinking; he apparently did not have a functional knowledge of the players he'd be coaching or coaching against; he did not have any understanding how league operations differed from those of the NCAA, and the list goes on.

I mean, cripes, just go back to the hiring announcement thread and read how many casual fans saw the inevitable coming. It seems that it was pretty darn easy to predict the disaster.
We just weren't distracted by the shiny like our team's owner so often is.

Pederson had to be ok with Baalke in taking this job.  IF there really was an issue with Baalke I think Khan would of got rid of him on Pedersons behalf.  The few rumors I hear is that Baalke and Pederson have a good working relationship.  If Baalke has the approval of Pederson I am going to back him until he proves other wise.

I agree that Pederson had to accept the position knowing Baalke was the GM; however, I don't think that once we began the coaching search with Baalke in place that Khan had any choice but to keep him around or look even more incompetent than his recent efforts had already accomplished. Even when we entertained the notion of Leftwich coaching, Khan had to make the decision on Baalke at season's end, and chose to keep him around.

Let's hope Khan made the right choice. Blind squirrels and all...
