Im down on him for multiple reasons.
1) We were told we were going on a "nationwide GM search where money would not be an object"
2) There isnt a single team in the NFL that would hire Baalke as their GM, which leads me to believe its not a good idea.
3) Baalke has no experience as an NFL GM.
4) Baalke is known to be a guy that wont upset ownership or cause problems (aka does what ownership tells him to do)
5) We have hired in house multiple times with little success
Im sure there are more reasons, but I am getting tired.
