I have zero faith in Baalke being in the general manager role come draft time. You can also add in Walker Little not contributing two years into his career as another problem. Carrying him into 2023 is a huge mistake.

Hasty has been better than JRob since the trade. Just sayin. JRob is nothing now. Dude had 4 rushes for 10 whole yards! Meanwhile, an undrafted rookie is outplaying him even with Michael Carter not playing.

JRob post achilles just isn't the same and I'm glad Baalke was able to get something for him because he might be cooked.

I don't have an issue with the Robinson trade. My concern circles back to Baalke. You're trading up to get players at positions that you're still backfilling now mid season or outright benching in favor of another player you ultimately drafted later on in Muma. That's a mismanagement of draft picks and it's bad.

Little actually played good last year when he came in for Cam.  We should of never resigned Cam and put Little there but they wanted Cam so bad and he was horrible yesterday, and has been average at best this year where a number of games where he got destroyed like yesterday to a rookie.  It sad how many needs this team has.  On top of starters that need upgraded we seen in preseason we have the worst depth in the league

You say that but here it is he had every opportunity back in training camp to outright take a job away from Taylor at RT and he couldn't get it done. Also, again, you're correct about the lack of depth. That allllllll circles back on Baalke wheeling and dealing like Ric Flair but not actually finding any real talent that adds any actual flair to the depth chart. 

He needs to go before he does like Dave Caldwell did before he left. He'll take a defender and pass up on a top offensive lineman like Skoronski or a premier receiver like Johnston or Mayer at TE.
