John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 1327

4ML · 2017-01-29T17:29:58-08:00

Lucked into Shanahan but Lynch as a GM? Wtf?? So many qualified GMs 49ers interviewed...and in the end - they decided to hire a guy who has ZERO experience working in a NFL Front Office. He has ZERO experience as a scout at any level. I understand, so many potential GM candidates rejected 49ers. But, to hire a guy who has never held a position that is in no way related to a day-2-day job profile of a GM is unbelievable. I'm sure Lynch is a smart guy...he was a smart player...but that has NOTHING to do with being a GM. Why take the risk at this time? --------------- edit: After having some time to digest this news...wish him all the best and I hope he proves ppl wrong. Still don't understand why we needed to take such a risk but it is what it is now. I do have to say - his first presser made a positive impression.

I think if they can address the ER issue this offseason with a few guys who can command double teams to go along with Buckner, I really think that will help him out. He may never be the dominant guy we hoped for in terms of sacks , but but I think he will benefit greatly having guys out on the edge that teams have to account for. Worst case scenario is he's a very good run stopper

We will be prudently aggressive for all three.

Not aggressive with parameters? Hmmm

patrick peterson would be amazing, but not sure why the Cardinals would trade him.

He's signed through 2019 and is 28 years old. Pipe dream probably but I'd certainly entertain it.

I'd take cooper, Peterson on downside of his career as he is getting older but he better than the trash we have opposite of Sherman I guess, we all know john Lynch ain't gonna do s**t tho

Why would you give up high draft picks for a 28 year old DB?

If we were healthy, we'd be 3-2 or 4-1. I'm just not getting the argument. Just because Lynch opted to fix our historically bad run defense first as opposed to fixing our bad pass rush doesn't mean that they have no intent to ever address the pass rush. It seems that the hate has reached a point where now the positives the team has done are being turned into negatives as well.

Every single injury is a Shanny acquisition. Is his finesse team just soft? Obviously Jimmy going down is a fluke I will give him a pass on that major injury but at no point during the 1st 3 games did we look like a 4-1 team. Look like a contender. Maybe we're 3-2, maybe not.

As for end we'll get to it when we get to it. Why would anyone be upset with that philosophy?

49ers should have had these 3 future all-pros:
Pat Mahomes ... Instead drafted Solomon Thomas
Derwin James ... Instead drafted Mike McGlinchey
Trent Brown .. ... Instead drafted Taverius Moore

He didn't fit Shanahan's amazingly successful system. Studies have shown its always better to force the QB to fit your system (especially when you have such a storied one) than to change the system to fit the QB. Choosing Beathard later in the draft was the smart move!

Why would either the Raiders or Cardinals trade with the 49ers? Especially the Cardinals. They aren't trading away their star CB to a team in the division so they can face him twice a year for the next 4 or 5 years.
