The 49ers just sold $400m worth of tickets and LA will do even better. iPhones aren’t designed in New Jersey, folks.

Ah, I see you are ravens fan, the team that needed two miracles in one season to “win” it all: 4th and 29 and a last gasp 70 harder. That tired old team headed to the basement.

Btw, mccloughan was gone before 2010 draft. It was baalke who picked the likes of Anthony Davis, iupati, and bowman.

So feel free to spout crap but baalke has drafted:
Kaepernick
Davis
Iupati
Bowman
Smith
Hunter
Culliver
Miller

That is 6 starters and 2 imp backups. Tell me which GM is doing better.

Go spout ignorant hatred elsewhere.

He picked:
1 superbowl starting qb
2 a pass rusher who’s had more sacks than anyone in last two years
3 an important RB ( who got plenty of touches)
4 a nickel back
5 starting fb
6 a guy projected to be a center

2012 draft did not make it on the field on a team that went to NFC championship game the previous season.

Why don’t you show us which GM has had better drafts (other than Schneider ).

Jenkins may be the only questionable decision. But we shall see.
How many stacked teams do you see rookies make it to the field?

Easy to say. Balke has been G.M since 2011. In two drafts, and two off seasons, he hasn’t done much personnel wise. Kap and Smith are about his only two good draft picks, not a good percentage. The roster is now weaker without a good back up QB. He can’t find a decent #2 WR. And the thing that makes the 49ers good, are the D and O lines. Two things in place already when he took over. So, tell me what exactly he has done?

And whoever said the 49ers were using the Ravens model, lmao! The Ravens draft well.

THE NINERS ARE GOING AT IT LIKE TRUE TEACHERS OF THE GAME AND HAVE MADE GREAT MOVES AND PICKS, NOT ALWAYS A SUPER PICK BUT OVERALL THE NINERS ARE SET FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND KAPPY IS A TRUE NFL QB THAT WILL BREAK RECORDS AND SET THEM ALSO, THE ONES THAT DON’T THINK SO WHO MADE THE COMMENT EARLIER IN THIS TOPIC ARE JEALOUS OF THE TALENT THE NINERS HAVE ON THE FIELD, COACHING STAFF, PREP CREW, AND MOST CRITICAL, THE FRONT OFFICE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE GUY WHO MADE THE COMMENT IS A JETS FAN, AND BOY WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT ORGANIZATION IS TRULY GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND THE NINERS ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

What I really love is how 2 years ago, the Packers were “built to compete for a title for the next ten years”. Then they didn’t. Now the 49ers are the flavor of the week, people are saying the same thing. Reality is, you lose free agents, players get hurt, competition gets better, etc. But if you want to crown their a**es, go ahead! LOL

and stupidity keeps rolling. I’m not a pack fan but they’ve been in contention every year.
what do you want people to do say? that they are built for just this year?

One of the best GM’s? Did you see your last draft? How about those free agent signings? Not very good. Hitting on Aldon Smith two seasons ago was good(when he as his body guard Justin with him), but come on, he isn’t that great a GM. Better hope he uses those 15 picks this season better than last seasons.

You’d figure the stupid will show up sooner or later.

Aldon smith, kaepernick, hunter, Bruce miller, culliver, lamichael James.

Baalke had a big hand in picking iupati and Davis.

what a loser (rolling my eyes)

All the Niners are doing are following the Steve Bisciotti and Ravens model.One roblem …they’ll always come up short against the Ravens if they ever meet in the Superbowl again. Kaepernick is a tatooed FLUKE.

The team went to the NFC championship the previous year and the Super Bowl this season.

There wasn’t a lot of impact last offseason because the team didn’t NEED a lot of impact because they were all but set.

The team is young, talented, in fine cap shape, and has a stockpile of draft picks to build sustain success.

How is that not doing a good job at GM?

I did the presentation center tour and listened to the pitch as I had a couple hours to burn before a flight.

AT the highest, it’s $80K for a PSL – think that gives you access to what they call the “Champions Club Lounge” or something like that. Players have to walk through the lounge to get to the field/sideline.

I can imagine wining and dining a client and getting them all geeked out at a place like this. Couldn’t get the boss to sign off on these tixs.
