THAT is also lunacy.

We don't have to accept any of that. We should expect the owner to have some common sense to see what virtually every fan, NFL commentator, player and other GM's around the league see. Fire Trent Baalke for God's sake!

I agree completely about firing Baalke. I was one of  the people screaming about Baalke when he was kept as GM last year, and I've been constant about that all along. 

I'm talking reality though. The fans haven't convinced Khan to fire Baalke. The media hasn't convinced Khan to fire Baalke. The coaching candidates haven't convinced Khan to fire Baalke. The entire rest of the league hasn't convinced Khan to fire Baalke. That's our reality. 

I don't believe we have the choice to "accept" what Khan does, other than just bailing on the team. I think the best we can hope for is to have Baalke contained by putting someone over him to make decisions, and hiring a coach who has the experience and ability to stand up to him. 

We can sit here, fold our arms across our chests and say, "I don't accept it." But it doesn't make much difference.
