This is exactly the mentality that got the Colts stuck with Ryan Grigson and squandered the prime years and best superbowl window of Andrew Luck's career. Get someone objective to come approach the situation here with fresh eyes, and get Trevor what he needs. No more half measures or transitions; clean house in full and build around Trevor on O & Josh Allen on D.

Nah, build around Hutchinson on D. Allen can be a good complement.

"I am only an average man, but by George, I work harder at it than the average man." - Teddy Roosevelt

I understand Baalke's 49ers drafts were terribad and he's picked horrible coaches, but it appears the 2021 draft is why he's getting another chance. 

One poster mentioned that if you net a franchise QB (Trevor), a starting left tackle (Little), a starting corner (Campbell), and some other helpful pieces (Cisco and maybe ETN), then it was a heckuva draft. If Trevor develops into even a Kirk Cousins/Mark Brunell level QB and the other guys become solid starters, it was a better than any draft Smith/Shack/Caldwell ever had. 

How about Shad and the clown protesters reach a compromise: Baalke gets to stay as an assistant to a new GM? He can lead the injury/reclamation projects team. Pair him with someone's brother in law as an intern to boss around.

Franchise QB?
My 6 year old daughters would've picked Trevor Lawrence. Maybe we should hire them as GM. Pretty sure they wouldn't hire Bill O'Brien at least.

Much of the rest is left to be seen. His history with coaches is awful. He should've never been hired as GM. And how about Free Agency? How did he do there? We've won two games all year. He was given the job because he'd be a yes man to Meyer, who's gone. (Yet another coaching failure under his GM tenure. Granted, you can't credit him entirely for Meyer's hiring, since Shad picked Meyer before picking Baalke.) He's also still from the previous regime we should've cast aside and said goodbye to. I know some people drink a LOT of teal kool aid. But sometimes you have to put the kool aid down. And how many coaches refuse to come here because they don't want to work with Trent Baalke given his own shady past history? There's too many red flags. And there should've been for him to hire him in the first place.

Agree completely

Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking.

 

I do agree this past draft wasn't that bad. But how much of it was Balke and how much was Urban Fired

Again, this draft has more to do with luck than skill. Three questionable players were drafted with ACL injuries. We are just lucky that they are looking over it.

These are Baalke specials, just wait... He did the same [BLEEP] in San Fran. He is Mr. Torn ACL when it comes to drafting.

As long as Baalke has no say over personnel/drafting, I'd be okay with this arrangement.

But we absolutely must have a better than competent guy calling the shots in those areas.

Khan should promote Baalke to vp of ticket sales or marketing or concessions or something.  It gives Khan an out and it gives the fans a competent gm.

Maybe we could start a rumor that Baalke was at that bar in Ohio with Urban.

Just fire Baalke baby.

Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.  

Then there will be “leaks” about Linda, the sales rep.

Hey, I’ll say he groped me, if that’s what it takes.

This is the biggest issue, like Urbz the guy has long standing concerns about his character and toxicity follows him around. Get him out of here.
