John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 1337

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.

Once again low risk. He don't play he don't get paid. Doesn't really get any more low risk. I guess we just disagree. Aggressive would of been take a chance on a young player like A.J. bouye last offeseason. Dishing out a huge deal on a young player.

McKinnon signing by far the biggest chance he has taken in 2 years.

Hoping that pays off when he comes back. I think we just agree to disagree for the other stuff. No worries.

Same here. I just hate to sit back and play the long game every offseason like Green Bay has for years. Rodgers has been to 1 super bowl with that thinking. It's almoat a crime when you think about it.

I still wonder if he gets a 2nd year. We overpaid for a athletic freak who's now coming back from a serious knee injury. His contract was designed to give us an out after year 1. Especially with Tevin Coleman and Le'Veon Bell available in FA.

I think he will. Playing mostert so much last night shows you how much Kyle wants speed in the back field. I think he will be cool going with McKinnon and Breida next season.

Except the plan was to go get cousins in FA. Ya'll would have yelled bust all last season when Mahomes sat the bench behind Hoyer for a yr lol.

Exactly. We went into the draft with a predetermined plan rather than an open mind. That's how you miss out. That is exactly the mistake they made.

getting a franchise QB like Jimmy isn't a mistake. Get over it man.

People act like Mahomes would be having the same success here in SF. Kansas City has superior skill players at the moment with Andy Reid.

Would you?

Crazy way to soon hypothetical....Who says No?

49ers Get
- Von Miller
- Broncos 2019 1st (between 8-10)

Broncos get
- 9ers 1st (assuming its #1 & Herbert declares)
- 49ers 2nd rounder (pick 33)

My same rule applies. I'll take a proven NFL commodity any day over a draft pick which, at best, is 50/50. Especially when that player plays the most important position on defense and the ripple effect it can have on the entire defense. Yes to Mack, er, Miller.

Why have people been predicting some sort of Miller trade to us for the past couple months lol

Von Miller is the kind of player you don't trade.

He is throwing for 40 more yards per game than Alex Smith last year and the team is scoring 10 more PPG than they scored last year.
That's legit and he would have spent only a few games behind Hoyer on the bench.

This - getting a FQB such as Garoppolo is an incredible win. And then, getting him signed long term made it just that much better.
