Ballke f**ked him over from the get go, if he got drafted to a 4-3 and stayed in his weight from FSU he would've been better

TRUTH!

Tank's gone... appropriately out with a whimper.

I wish him luck - until he plays us.

Good for him, finally a place where he can be a full time starter.

He and AA will platoon there in base.

Hahaha, thats what I was thinking! Never quite saw it tho...

No ill feelings towards him, wish him the best. The definition of ignoring scheme fit in the draft!

This one surprised me.

Dude had 4 years to do something. Hopefully he plays well for the vegas raiders. I think tank had maybe 3 good games for us in 4 years.

He must hate the team for jerking him around so much.

He is the epitome of the difference between Baalke and Lynch (so far). Baalke never seemed to be worried about what style of play his coaches were using. He drafted guys with talent, but ill-suited for the team. Tank was a beast in college but was a TERRIBLE fit for the 3-4 we were running. Perhaps Harbaugh was bad at communicating his needs, but they worked poorly together.

That's why I optimistic about the Shanahan/Lynch pairing. Posters here were begging for Andrew Norwell. They say the All-Pro next to his name and started drooling. The fact is, Norwell would have been a terrible fit for this offense. Meanwhile those same people are throwing a fit because of McKinnon's contract. Here's a dude that does EXACTLY what Shanahan wants from the RB position and people are crying over the loss of Hyde. Is Hyde a good player? Sure, but he is a terrible fit in this offense.

Sounds about right.
