That's why I keep saying that the past strategy CANNOT BE A LONG TERM ONE. But Baalke isn't good at the alternative ones because he's a short term thinker. In fact, based on his history, again, we're fortunate at how good that free agent class turned out. The guy historically finds a way to pull the turd out of the gold pile. Hell, he let Doug Pederson walk out of Jacksonville without a contract after they interviewed him. Again, we were LUCKY to get our best coach ever because the GM almost screwed that up too. It's irrational to think that he can continue making these mistakes and continue to have successful outcomes; eventually he's going to get bit. I hope he's learned and that Doug can stabalize him, but we also know from his history, that he has a way of getting a franchise to let their successful coach go if there's an internal struggle. When he gets bit who is taking the fall? Teflon Trent? In short I am skeptical of his ability to lead this frachise into the next phase of success. I keep telling you the reasons, and you keep closing your eyes to the issues. I get wanting to enjoy the Era of Good Feelings we have today, I just hope they don't lead to a CIvil War or Great Depression tomorrow.

I couldnt care less what he did in the past and there were a number of posters here that during the coaching hire it was Byron or bust. Werent you one of the ones that wanted Leftwich? We dodged a bullet there on a guy that hasnt even been about to get a OC job. You have zero clue though what went on behind closed doors and all one can do specualte. Baalke got that one right again, more. This "lucky" [BLEEP] you always say you can do that for any team in the league that does something good. The Chiefs were lucky that Mahomes fell to them, lucky the Eagles fired Reid, I can go on and on for every team. All I care about is what Baalke has done since he has been here and last year we were the first team in NFL history to pick 1st and win a playoff game and right now we have the longest active win streak and have the best record we have had in 24 years. Its comical to whine and cry about the GM when the arrow is pointing up for this team maybe more than ever. You also have zero clue about Trent personaly or how everyone felt about him , other than some articles you read about some butt hurt 49ers fans or a player that said something about him that wasnt very good and got cut by Trent, shocker lol. Trent has helped put this team in the position it's in potentially the best in franchise history.

As for proof, here's two nice writeups about his time in San Fran, he's not any different now, he's just gotten some breaks that have helped.

Draft: https://www.ninersnation.com/2018/8/26/1...icks-49ers

Free agency: https://ninernoise.com/2018/02/17/49ers-...2015-2016/

Those who don't learn from history are usually doomed to repeat it.

See the articles below for why. Bias articles by talking heads assuming things because they do not have the information. These day bloggers write anything and everything, doesn't make it accurate nor fact. Actually proves nothing. So far 28 draft picks here 20 are on the roster. Free agents 28, 16 are on the roster today. That first year with the Urban influence was tough (Carlos Hyde?) As our roster becomes better it will be more difficult for newbees to stick. The above number actually are most likely higher as I didn't include the practice squad.

second one we agree.

Short term thinker? Well, you are welcome to your opinion. You cannot actually have proof making it fact. Saying it over and over doesn't make it true either.

Conjecture, Kahn was overly cautious after his Urban experience and admittedly took a bunch of extra time. The selection decision was not Baalkies it was Kahns, so Doug leaving without a contract that first time is on him. Your welcome to blame Baalkie if you want but it just is not the way it happened.

I dont give 2 [BLEEP] about what he did in SF during his first GM job. Some people also actually learn from mistakes and its possibly a good thing for some of his failures he had during his first GM job and a learning experience.
