Baalke - authority/courage to trade?

It is what it is

Unless a monster is sitting a few spots away (Berry for instance) I'm fine with sitting and taking BPA (within reason).

Give the guy a chance before we lose all faith.

Time will tell

Balls.

Whom exactly did you expect us to acquire after McCloughan was fired? Besides Jared Gaither, because I think it's pretty obvious at this point that we're not interested, and rightly so.

Early days, Mr Bagg. Let's see how it goes. Right now, just holding at each draft position is not going to be a bad strategy.

not concerned at all

Who do you expect them to get at this late juncture? Even if they go and get someone, possibly nine out of ten won't really know who that is anyway and will have to rely on reports that the person is supposedly a good personell man.

If you want them to trade just to make a splash or rather noise, that is sad. I realize as fans we have no power and we want them to do something we feel is good, but its like that Windows 7 commercial about how everyone wants to feel empowered and say thats my idea I told them to do that-no I did really, I even have the copyof the letter.

Enjoy the ride and gripe later. This draft even if you aren't a ninner fan, just a football fan, is going to very interesting-what will the rams do? what will the seachickens do...who will free fall, who will actually jump up the boards, free al davis part 2.

I couldn't be less worried about the draft than I am.

No words we can speak
our paths have been chosen
But all the trails that we trek
Should lead us back to here
Because our

You gotta believe that

I understand what your saying, and I am also worried but for a little bit different reason. will balkee be doing what is best for this franchise, or is he just trying to secure his spot as the new gm?

For example, what if we have a chance to trade back or maybe even trade out of the first round for one of our number ones when there is no value left at that pick for us. will he recognize that in the grand scheme of things it might be better to do this or will he stay pat in order to select a player he thinks will save his job.

This does not mean i think we should trade our picks, but the point is I dont want a short sighted GM making moves that may hurt the franchise in the long run. This goes for trading young talent for a veteran that may help us this year, but not beyond too.

Not worried at all I think Baalke and Gamble will do a wonderful job. If any team calls I'm sure both of them will be in the same room. It's not very difficult to say "so and so" is on the phone. What should we do; and then make a decision.

I'm not concerned... they'll be fine.

Don't you have more important sh*t to worry about?
