Trent Baalke we are not worthy!

If Doug can work sucessfully with Howie Epstien, he can work with anyone, and he has.

Baalke's real measure of success is seeing how he sustains a team once Trevor's rookie deal is up.

The Free Agency signings have been a total win. The drafting of Baalke has also been pretty dog gone good.

The salary cap issue this offseason... Let's see how he keeps this squad together while also upgrading a few needs... This off-season will be key to whether Baalke deserves all these flowers. With that said, it looks good so far.

Whoever that clown was that said Agnew is "mediocre at best"... LOL

At minimum, the narrative that Baalke is a snake, cancer, whatever else has been obliterated.  We still have a few posters running around the board being completely governed by their negative emotional taek on the guy and their inability to admit they were wrong or got duped by groupthink which was based on little info and a lot of speculation or, lastly, at the very least have the sense to keep their shaky opinions to themselves in the face of the facts at hand that clearly do not support the narrative.  Best of luck with that. 

Should be enjoying the moment with an open mind that you just might have been wrong, but what do I know.

enjoy your rec, well stated.

Passing on the guy that became the first rookie since '81 to be named all-pro isn't a good look. Hindsight's 20/20 though and the draft can be a crapshoot. Walker has to produce.

Yeah, the players don't seem to think he's a [BLEEP] at all.  Guess they have to leave before they stop faking it.

I'm one of a hand full that was in Baalke's corner from day one. Give him a chance I said. Let it play out I said. Stop w/the CLOWNING BS I said. It was definately too early to throw shade on Baalke given the circumstances to which he were dealt. Even though some doubt that Meyer had control of selecting the player personnel, I distinctly remember Mr. Khan's statement of such. Blake's hands were tied.

Now that the hand cuffs are off and the addition of Pederson and crew, were seeing dividends w/respect to true improvement(s) on the field and from the office. I'm ecstatic that the CLOWNING phase is coming to an end because it was just that. A Phase. I can't wait for the 2023 NFL Draft to come and go being that we're planning to build through the draft from this point on. I'm not expecting much via. free agency for this reason along w/our cap situation to which has been revived by Baalkee as well.

Overall our future is bright and the fan base has solidified to the point of positive thinking. We'll get to where Dougie P is leading us in the future.

Time Will Tell.

If they're set on the skill positions as it stands today. Then the next step should be bolstering the line on both sides. Protecting the QB and attacking the QB. That's all it boils down to.

The Chiefs wiefs wouldn't of won the SB without all the contributions they had from their rookie class. From their 1st pick to their last pick and picks in between. We have to hit on some mid to late picks
