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.

Well aren't you a self-righteous little douche-nozzle? 

Your pathetic inability to have a clear perception of this incredibly dedicated fanbase is only surpassed by your inexplicable decision to die on a hill for Trent Baalke. 

2022 free agency hasn't proven anything yet beyond a willingness to spend.

Baalke/Meyer struck out without swinging the bat last year.

Baalke/Pederson - clearly under directive to spend from Khan - got a guy on base and advanced him to second with a sac fly.    

This doesn't confirm what you are asserting. It merely means we may have acquired some expensive help whose contracts could come back to bite us in the [BLEEP] if Baalke isn't careful with cap space moving forward or if the newly acquired the players don't produce. 

Now, if Baalke's 2021 draft picks produce in 2022, as do his latest FA class, AND he finds a few contributors from the '22 draft, then we can decide if your unfounded stance on Baalke has any merit - or if the lovable little lemmings are following a wiser prognosticator to their fate. 

Until then - and to paraphrase William Smith - KEEP MY FANBASE's NAME OUT YOUR [BLEEP] MOUTH!!

To add history and education

Under the first owner, Wayne Weaver we got very competitive with a spend and burn mentality. They pushed hard to the 1999 season with a loaded team and then we got killed by the salary cap.  This is not a lemming fanbase and we have seen this song and dance before.  The reason you are being treated this way is because you are joining at the 11th hour before the apocalypse and don't understand why we have such strong feelings about it.  Last season is way too reminiscent of past mistakes by this franchise.  And honestly this owner has a crazy commitment to failure.
