  He don't have time for projects anymore because if we don't make the playoffs at the very least next year he is likely gone.  Game tape and players that are ready day 1 might be a little more important to him than in years past because his job is on the line at this point which is good because I don't want Guyton as much as I love the size and length.  His draft approach changes this year i believe for the reason above

Lol, Baalke's seat ain't even warm. They've had 2 winning seasons, he's already produced enough for Shad to be ok with him.

Im not buying that.  2, 9-8 seasons and this year missed the layoffs after making the playoffs the previous year.  It means we went backwards, if we miss the playoffs again I think Baalke is gone.

What about making playoffs as WC but losing in the first round? second round?

Would he be gone in those scenarios?

I think in this scenario it would just depend on how the season went, how many injuries, how was our draft picks from the last few years etc.  If we miss the playoffs though he will be gone regardless imo.
