John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 1335

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.

You dudes are hilarious. Nobody hits on every draft pick. Nobody can sign a top player at every position they need. Nobody turns around a talent deficient team that quick.

Completely agree. This, unfortunately, was a massive rebuild and it's still very much a work in progress.

That would be up to Kyle, not Lynch. Kyle controls the roster.

I will be thrilled if Lynch can move Garcon and/or Malcolm Smith before the deadline...would love to shed their contracts heading into the offseason and give the young guys more opportunities. I know it's probably a long shot...but maybe a team with a need gets a little desperate.

The worst part about all this is that the 2019 draft class is super weak. Yea Bosa is there but there are really no superstars. Just a bunch of Solomon Thomas's there to pick . Just good players no real game changers
