Gamble helped with the 2012 draft for the Niners.

Let that sink in.

All we're going to get is busts.

That may be true but remember that Gamble only scouts and presents the data to Baalke. Trent makes the final call. Doesn't mean Gamble agrees with everry selection each time in each round.

I hope that Gamble will retained because he'll help with the continuity and draft prep. However, I do NOT like the idea of a Gamble/Kelly pairing ala the Eagles.

I'm in the camp that hopes for a complete tear down and starting over with the front office structure.

I don't.

If we get the right GM, he'll come in w/a real plan and organizational skills to succeed.

Two things I would add to this discussion: (1) Tom Gamble has been involved in the same drafts as Baalke; and, (2) sometimes change for the sake of change isn't the best option. I feel like Baalke and Gamble are pretty good talent evaluators with pluses and minuses. My thought is that Chip Kelly can be Baalke's lense into unearthing offensive talent.

Agreed. If I'm the owner, I look at their first year as a collective group. Great draft. Not so much in FA. Instead of wiping everyone out and starting all over, I'm bringing in oversight and an added skill set to the mix to bring perfect balance. It doesn't matter what GM's are out there, they all have strengths and weaknesses and more often than not, it's on one side of the ball over another. Having an offensive coach like Jackson, Gase, Shanahan and Kelly can be that perfect balanced to a FO team that has a propensity for seeing defensive talent better. From there, the scouting staff start changing their criteria, Gamble starts working with them differently, the added GM oversees them, the President oversees all, etc. Call me the 5%er who believe we can build on this.

Absolute waste of time. All I see is small incremental growth.

It's a band aide on a severed leg.

IMO, a total house cleaning is in order.

I'm sentimental about Rathman - but come what may.

If I'm Jed, I bring in an outsider GM who communicates just how terrible we really are and vows to bring back Niner football.

He should state that it will take 2-3 years to undo the disaster Baalke created and asks for patience.

He goes as well. He was in Phi w Chip when that roster was blown to s**t. Neither shouldve been hired. An in house promotion proves the Yorks dont care and the status quo continues.

Jed saying we need to go outside the organization made me feel better that gamble won't be the guy.

What is the point of Gamble then? He has no real ssay, and Jed wanted someone from outside the organization. Is Gamble just collecting a check? or is his internal title "President of Organizational leaks?"

Just a guy that was cool with Chip and Trent. I'm thinking Gamble was paid to be the go between fro Chip and Baalke.

Jed already said no in house hire for the GM pos.

Isn't this the same guy that sat around and watched Baalke sabotage everything and said or did nothing?

To weak of a manager of any type IMO

Based on the press conference, Gamble does not seem to be a candidate for GM. Though, I wonder if he might stay in scouting if Riddick's chosen.

I like him to stay.
