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.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
