Case in point is a couple of posts above where the poster brings up Baalke's time in San Fran 6-7 years ago for his scorn for him today. What an ill-conceived reason for someone proclaiming to be a Jags fan.
The notion that Baalke could help this team turn the page with a good collaborator is one that I expected. Free agency more or less confirmed that.

Why is it whenever someone says "People can't think for themselves' its in response to people having an opinion they don't share?

This is true almost 100% of the time. "There's no way you are thinking for yourself because you agree with popular opinion! There's no reason at all that the reason is popular, and it can't possibly be that I'm wrong."

Because you know... independent thinkers can't ever agree with popular opinion! It's basically middle-school level peer pressure b.s. coming from people who are woefully uninformed.
