after jed york's exhaustive GM search he's decided to promote from within after interviewing two people lol

NFL Network's Mike Lombardi reports that the 49ers will hire Trent Baalke as general manager "within 48 hours."

Lombardi interviewed for the job Tuesday, so it's safe to say that he has insider knowledge. Baalke is currently in his sixth season with the 49ers and served as the club's top personnel man in 2010, overseeing the draft, free agency, and in-season roster moves. It remains to be seen if Baalke has enough pull to hire a "big-name" coach -- like Jon Gruden or Jim Harbaugh -- as CEO Jed York is believed to be targeting. We wouldn't bet on it.

The 49ers didn't have an actual GM and this guy did all the duties normally associated with it. basically they just gave him an actual title.

he was responsible for basically everything the niners have done the past few years, with coaches, players, drafts, etc.

we have experience with him from the Everette Brown trade.

His drafts have generally been terrible, he was responsible for dumping a truckload full of money on Nate Clements lawn, he promoted Mike Singletary, and had some say in the Mike Nolan hiring.

basically he sucks and his suckitude has ramifications for the Carolina Panthers in the short and long term.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
