Baalke's story won't be written untill after this off-season and how he handles the cap situation he created.  He's done a great job getting talent.  That's only half the job of a GM.  Now he needs to work that talent into a sustainable window of success.  He hasn't proven that, yet.

Pederson and his coaches are doing a great job taking the talent and making them play well.  But what happens if Baalke starts removing the talent?  That's the concern.  And this off-season is about to begin with several really good keys to our Offense and Defense that need to either be re-signed or be replaced with something similar or better... 

Let's see what happens.  But the story of Baalke hasn't been written, yet.  But you gotta admit, he did a pretty good job turning this team around.  It's just whether or not that is sustainable.  He's got his work cut out for him.
