John Lynch - 49ers GM

It's early in the process. Foster matter will be investigated by the DA's office. They will determine whether to officially Charge Foster in a law of court. There must be enough evidence that a crime happened and there must intent. Possession of an Assault Rife, and whether DV actually occurred. If the other person was hospitalized or checked due to bruising or some type of physical impairment evidence must be determined in the case.

Niners invested in him and it's too early to determine that a mistake of drafting him is admitted this early in the process.

Agreed...too early but Reuben is hanging on by a thread to start his career. I hope the kid can pull a 180 and justify Lynch believing in him.

You act like this never happens in the NFL. Foster will get another chance and if he screws up it's on Foster not Lynch

why does it kill you to just say lynch made an error in player judgement.

Why are you needing people to accept that he made a mistake?

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Lynch spent time with the guy. He also sent a pastor/counselor and another staffer to spend two days with him. They all affirmed that he was worth the risk. As of 2/13/18 it looks like the decision reached by all those people MAY have been wrong. However, there should be no rush to judgement. There is no need to hurry. OTAs are two months away. There is plenty of time to reach a measured decision as to what to do. In the meantime, the legal proceedings will bring us a great deal more information.

For my part, I am fine with him serving a one year suspension if for nothing more than sending him a stern wake-up call.

As to short-term action by Lynch, the only thing that is clear is that he no longer has any options with the first choice in the draft. It MUST be a ILB, either Smith or Edmunds. So while that may not be the worst thing that could happen, it shows how serious this matter has become.

My .02 worth...

Was there a report that there had been other disturbances at fosters place? Something about a welfare check?

Someone in one of these threads stated the police had been called to his residence before (three times, I believe they said) but that nothing transpired from those visits. Sorry, do not know which thread it was in nor what page. Not even sure it is true or if perhaps I read what they said incorrectly, because you would think that would have been leaked to the media by someone.

We don't need to draft ILB with the first pick. The 49ers managed without foster for multiple games.

Yeah if that's not being reported then I don't believe it

He makes no mistakes becuase drafting a guy in the first who leads the league in arrests is normal. Great job gm of the year.

True, but we were much better with him.

I think he's nice to have, but not a major cog that we can't function without him
