Sounds like complete horse [BLEEP] to me

I'm no fan of Baalke - but I'd bet a crisp G right now Pederson isn't letting that happen.
Teams just don't operate that way

I talk to a guy that works in the stadium, some type of contractor who works in a office right next to where they have meetings. He says they often sit over there and listen to what's going on. He can hear Ballke in his office on phone conversations. And apparently he talks to alot of the coaches regularly.


Ohhh...I forgot too. His brother is a WR on the team.

He talked about a lot of the inner workings of the team. He knows what he's talking about. Even broke down what happened with Shenault and I eat crow for being mad of them trading him now lol.

I've known ppl in the building over the years and they talk, but it's likely no one you are describing knows the first thing about what Baalke does or does not do in terms of micro-managing coaches. 

I don't buy it. Not at all. 

The thought that Pederson would have signed on with that type of authority from the GM is almost comical to me. 
It's bizarre if true. And I think it's untrue.

I can be wrong, but wasn't Ballke involved in the hiring process? I can't remember. I know his title is GM, but isn't it like he's someone Shad really values? From what the guy I talk to says, I can see Ballke as having positioned himself. He is often the last one to leave, putting in 20 hour days. While the owner only rarely makes an appearance.

As someone who knows how to politic myself...lol...that's a great way to win the owner over and get points lol. Because my guy says Ballke really is a good guy. He is moody sometimes, but he does speak regularly.

Any rate, isn't Ballke the reason Leftwich wouldn't come? They say Leftwich was coming with a full staff. He had a DC (and it wasn't Caldwell).

If I remember correctly, Pederson didn't have a full staff. It's been a week so I may be wrong or forgot, but I seem to remember him making it seem like the Caldwell hiring...I can't remember how to put it. I'll try: It's like Caldwell was recommended to Pederson and Pederson was ok with it. So Pederson isn't really "tied" to Caldwell per say.

Pederson and Caldwell both worked under Andy Reid. And they both worked together under him for a couple of years. 

This - again  - sounds like you are being told some tall tales my friend.
