I've decided that I'm not going to let this team suck out my soul this year. If they win, which is doubtful, then good. Otherwise, I'm a little ambivalent right now.

However, the one thing which aggravates me is seeing our *STAR* quarterback 3 years into his tenure who is now nursing injuries to both legs and a concussion. It's beyond me how the immediate concern, or at any time along the process, wasn't to get the best O line money could buy, as well as draft. It's inexcusable, and their days of whistling past the graveyard have come home to roost. That alone is almost grounds for Baalke's dismissal. He's not entirely useless because he is good at snagging veteran players, so take the draft partly out of his hands. Hire a draftnik and give him some kind of title to fit into the organization to 'advise' on draft matters. I don't think Baalke is completely incompetent. He seems to accomplish the daily GM duties ok, he's just a drafter without vision.
