Come on y’all, dude says Fortner is fine and blames our failures on a passive aggressive “systematic” statement.

Dude got an ego the size of Thanos. Nobody should be falling on their laurels saying “9-8 is fine and y’all need to chill”

I haven't seen one single pro Baalke post around here. 

All I'm doing is trying to criticize his actual failures in Jax and recognize the stuff he got right without just parroting a bunch of slander on the guy that makes no sense. 

His biggest failure is not protecting a young QB after 3 drafts and offseasons.
He has acquired several linemen. 
But he got mostly the wrong guys. 

Probably a third of the league owners would have sent him packing this offseason based on that - and I'd be fine if our owner did too. 

I've been screaming for line help for 2 straight years now to the point I'm mocked for it around here. It pisses me off that he hasn't attained a functional line for this team yet. 

I also think he doubled down on some middling fixes to the IDL rather than striving for a real difference maker there. 

Lastly - I despise the positional value of his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round selections last draft when considering our needs. 

Unfortunately - we don't know yet if any of those players may turn out good enough to make that grievance forgivable. (like the ETN pick) 

All the blather about SF is inconsequential to our situation and largely unverified speculation and hearsay anyway. 
I've got enough good and bad to judge the guy on without all that. 

The Fortner talk means nothing. I'll bet $500 Fortner has competition in camp that is 99% certain to take the start. 
And our o-line did in fact systematically fail.
