Not sure this tells the whole story, for two reasons:

1) Baalke clearly drafted for the future in 2012. So we cannot yet give him a grade when he was clearly looking towards the future.

2) You’re missing his more important offensive off-season moves: a) the re-signing of Alex Smith at a price that will allow them an easy out next year now that Kaepernick is the starter. And the promotion of Alex Boone, and release of Adam Snyder. The former is a top-5 RG this season, the latter has been arguably the worst lineman in football.

eatmycumulous, James did contribute. AJ Jenkins did not. Zaalke may have misjudged on him.

Hey Lowell,

Looks like we were too hard on Balke, at least about James. Maybe we should getting on Zarbaugh’s case over not playing these guys sooner.

glenellen, It was in right field at the Stick for all Giants game and it said, Trade Lowell Cohn. I’m not sure what year but i’m very proud of that.

Now this is the old Lowell I’ve read for years. First it was Roman and now Baalke. For awhile there I was starting to think you were getting soft. Keep up the good work. And who knows maybe someone will hold up a sign at Candlestick again with your name on it.

I can’t remember what the sign said, do you ? And around what year ? Do you have a photo ? I would like to see that.

Ah …. memories ! (If they lose today I know you will be all over it.)

LC,

At least we replaced Alex Smith, that alone should move him from a Z to a B, although that was Harbaugh idea. Also Lowell, James and Jenkins might be good productive players and it is not TB fault they are not playing.

Great writing to make a point Lowell…it seems that the players acquired in previous seasons will have to win it all for the team…you are right, at the present the new guys do not seem to exist…and from here i cannot understand the qb situation…unless Smith is hurt more than i have read out here?????

The 2011 draft class is turning out to be one of the best in 49er history. The 2012 class may end up being one of the worst. I just can’t figure Baalke. Is he a genius or a dope?

Dr.Feelgood, I’m merely stating the facts. I never said anything about getting a new GM. Please read carefully before commenting.
