But really there are some smart guys on the zone, and there are some dumb guys in pro football. Joe Thomas (cough) Singletary (cough) . . .
We have some really intelligent posters but most of us on here including myself are lacking in X's and O's knowledge. We follow the NFL daily but still a big difference between that and coaching/playing for 20-30 years.
Anyways, I don't want people to follow Baalke blindly and say every signing is a good one but there are many on here that have a problem with almost all the signing and don't understand what a salary cap is. This whole we have to get all the big name free agents or our season is over crap is old. Just look at the facts and research the "free agency winners" every year and see how they do. Almost all of the big money signings don't work out. You have to put a system in place and build through the draft and get budget free agents. Sure a big name once in awhile is ok but you can't really buy championships in the nfl.
