good. Ideally Baalke is out. At the very least, he better just be a glorified scout.

If we want to believe Dilla that’s what he heard a few days ago. Glorified/well paid scout.

Ultimately I think it’s a inevitable he’s out before long. Whether it’s immediate, post draft, or after next season.

I am SO glad this looks to be happening.  Believe me, Jags fans, Spielman is a very good GM.  In Minnesota, he wasn't perfect, but he was one of the better ones in the league. 

In a video, I just heard Dominique Foxworth give a beautiful analogy of Trent Baalke and his ability to somehow keep surviving, despite all of his flaws.  Foxworth said: "If someone with even a limited understanding of the internet tried to explain it to their great-grandmother, they would sound to her like they were an absolute genius." 

There are people on the Jags forum who could use football terms that would probably make Shad's head spin, because he isn't very familiar with the game.  I wouldn't be surprised if that's what has been happening between Baalke and Shad.

If we bring in a guy with Rick Spielman's acumen, Baalke's act is going to be exposed and it should wear thin very quickly - even with Shad.

Spielman is going to be a key piece in turning this thing around in the next couple years.
