Tevin Jenkins blows, how did we keep him after 2022?  But clearly he sucks now.  Oloukon is such garbage.  Clearly he's only been good for 2 years because he sucks and Baalke sucks for even thinking these guys are good.

It's hilarious to watch you guys hate on Baalke but give Press Taylor a pass.  The Free Agency and Trade acquisitions we've gotten over the last 3 years are glorious.  And you hate on them?  It's too much, man.  Sit back and think it through...  This whole team is Baalke's work.  Baalke drafted Fortner.  That dude is a liability.  But he's still good enough to start. 

Name a Baalke draft pick that is killing us right now besides Fortner.  Name a Baalke signing besides Sheriff that is killing out team.  You can't.  This team is solid.  The players are solid up and down.  And Doug Pederson knows how to get the most out of a team.

Just to say, that Darious Willams is a hell of a player.  We should all be praising the acquisition.  And yet some here are big mad because it doesn't fit their Bull [BLEEP] agenda.  That's pretty pathetic, yo.

No one is hating on them dude, it's that we won't have the most money in the League to spend in two more years to bring in another class like that. It was a once a generation occurrence and, again, not a long term strategy for success. You just can't see past the end of your nose to know what the problems are. It's why you have ot out for Press Taylor the way you do, because you're short sighted.

I hear you, know where you are going.  I am worried as much as you are.  The financial dance should begin this off season. Do they have a multi year plan? I would say it is more of an outline than plan as variables change due to things they do not control. Being GM/HC is like playing a non stop game of whack-a-mole. Will they share it with you?  heck no. Will it be exactly as you like it? Probably not, you can email them and ask but don't hold your breath.  Why might what they think be different from us?  Well, we have only stats and results on field we can see. We do not see the human side as they do because we just don't have that access. We don't see the development of the players in practice. What can be done in practice takes a bit to show up on the field sometimes.  We also do not have their past experience.  (unless you happened to be secretly a successful coach/GM I don't know about)  We are unfortunately all drawing conclusions on incomplete information.  

We can have opinions and be concerned. That's quite the right way to be. You have quite a few good ones. What I believe unfair is when something works out the way they expect say it is just LUCKY.  

2022 was a one time occurrence needed to get our #1draft choice some tools so he could develop.  I actually credit a bunch of it to our coach as he did say in one presser he had spent a lot of time during his year off looking at players both college and pro. We are as stated in the Draft and develop mode. Baalkie /Doug have said this and FA's were too expensive so they know that is not the answer going forward.  Maybe a reason we didn't give up any high draft picks for short term rentals for players other teams do not plan on signing next year. (we could also cancel out next year's compensatory picks doing this as well)
