Baalke botching this entire situation is just another feather in his amazing GM cap.

Share it.

That's another garbage narrative that folks have latched on to. 

Some media guy quoted Baalke out of context and got a tweet in response supposedly from someone connected to Allen who understandably took the out of context tweet out of context. 

The man said 7 times Josh Allen will be a Jaguar and he's raved about his play. That's just ridiculous. 
There's five weeks before the tag deadline and the most likely outcome is a tag and a negotiation of a big contract just like we saw last year with Engram. 

If you think they are "off to a bad start" you are buying into some bull [BLEEP]

And - no - I'm not lumping a completely different situation in SF into my judgment of Baalke since he's been here. 
I have plenty to go on that is actually relevant to what is happening. We don't know the actual dynamics of owner/GM/HC all those years ago in SF. We just have 5 different versions of outsider speculation. And it involved a loose cannon in Harbaugh. 

We have a little bit more info to work with here and I'll run with that.

They were off to a bad start last May when they didn't give him an extension.

Then, to not even have conversations with Allen once the season was over, is another bad look. The optics are very bad.

Right.

About 30% of the fanbase thought we should have extended him last year.

Most were too busy going on and on saying he sucks or disappears too much and can't produce sacks - which many claimed were all that matters. 

Now many of those same folks are appearing incredulous we didn't sign him precisely when they were busy bad mouthing the guy. 

I'm not sure what that situation has to do with whatever is or isn't going on with the negotiation now  - since it didn't happen. (and most fans did not want it to happen at the time) 
We're here now. 
Y'all can jump to conclusions all you want. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I know what has transpired between the Jags FO and the Allen camp and what their individual strategies are. 

We'll know more in 5 weeks or less. I can wait that out before I sling arrows at the wrong targets indiscriminately. 
Maybe Baalke is totally fumbling this situation, but there hasn't been anything making that apparent yet. Just folks jumping to conclusions. 
I'll wait.
