John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 1379

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 dont think anyone has any expectations at this point.

I would love to see anyone they aren't expecting back to be dealt. (Parcon, AA, Ward)

Obviously those are players I don't expect back but what do I know.

I would take 7s for them at this point.

I can't see anyone trading for Garcon when he's on the injury list.

True. I don't see him returning next year. Playing like a different person after the surgery.

Trade deadline will pass and Lynch will head strait to the media to talk up all the possible moves he tried to make but didn't.

As funny as that is, it's prolly true (doesn't seem like they want to come to Alviso)

This is sad but true. We could've had Josh Gordon but I have a feeling that the trouble with Foster caused us to shy away from the possibility of more trouble. However we could've still gotten him

Could still get him...next year.

It sucks though, two pieces we need so desperately and the best place to get them is at the top of the draft: ER and WR.

except for the fact that they didn't have a fifth round pick to give up for him so they would have to pony up a forth or multiple lower picks. Then everyone would be crying that they gave up to much for him.

Only six picks in next years draft on a team that has a ton of holes. Time to start making some moves.

Our problems are in the secondary. It isn't Saleh or the system it's the entire secondary minus Sherman. Seattle has the number 2 rated secondary and number 6 defense with a bunch of scrubs. We need players that can play within the system

Yeah it would've been a lot easier to get him than Mack. Gruden just didn't want him to go across the Bay and watch him ball. Lynch tried hard af to get him. Chucky said no dice (punk ass ugly doll).
