John Lynch - 49ers GM

I'm kind of disappointed in Lynch. He definitely had a chance to get Mack and didn't want to pay up. He now has a chance to get Gordon, but he won't. You can say what you want about the picks given up or the salary given to Mack, or Gordon being a headache.

It doesn't change the fact that with those 2 players on this current roster, with Foster coming back, makes this team a legitimate threat to the Rams, Vikings, and Eagles. For this year and in the years to come. Good luck to him trying to add a top 2 ER and arguably a top 10 WR in the draft or FA.

The Lions wouldn't have sniffed 20 points with Mack coming off the edge yesterday.

Well, it is reassuring to know that if Lynch signs Gordon, the webzone will be awash with criticism for wasting draft picks etc on a washed up addict, and if he doesn't sign him the webzone will be awash with criticism for not picking up a game changer, not trying to improve the team and yada yada.

They want Lynch to trade for him with only giving up a 7th round pick and with the guarantee that Gordon will produce 1,000 yards and never have any off the field issues ever again. I mean it's so simple, idk why Lynch can't figure this whole GM thing out.

I strongly assume that we won't sign Gordon due to his inferior attitude.

this is football not Catholic School. If he can play IDC if he has an attitude, we could use him badly at the moment.

Also why is Julian taylor not starting

great question,

Because he's a 7th round rookie that needs time to develop?

Two years of drafting and free agency and it seems the Baalke holdover, Buckner, is still the best player, by far, on the team.

I disagree, I think Jimmy is the best player on the team. Yeah he's going though some growing pains and nearly threw a pick 6, but he's flashed some franchise level QB talent. If we have that, the championship window is open every year.

I would have said the same a few weeks ago but i think buck has cemented that spot for now. Its early in the season though so things should improve.

I'm okay with him giving up a 3rd or 4th for the upside of elite talent. But I know I am in a minority. I also advocated the Khalil Mack trade..

end of the day, I just don't value our picks that much.

No, he does not. Shanahan's scheme is the easiest in the business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Replace Gordon with any free agent name and repeat.

Damned when we do, damned when we don't.
