Assuming that Lynch isn't in favor of it. It fits with his theme about accountability. You f**k up(over and over and over and over and over), you get held accountable.

Yes i understand that, but Aldon wasn't under his watch. Should not attach himself to someone's else's f**kup. Mainly if that player hasn't been on the team for a while now. Or is going to be on the team going forward.

We don't need this hanging over our heads if we are trying change our image as a an organization..especially to attract players.

Lynch would come off as Good Cop, and should help his image even more for potential free agents.

edit- even if this has nothing to do with GM Duties... Jed should make it seem like it was Lynch who ask this lawsuit to be thrown out.

that 300k would go to a player on our team who really deserves it

Usually I'd agree with this.... but with our Cap room... I feel it is not worth the bad press.

It's like breaking up with your crazy Girlfriend...and just leave some of your stuff with her...Especially if you have a good income... just so you don't have to deal with her anymore... move on.

This is huge. The football Gods are back in our corner.

This Peters guy hasn't done much from what I'm reading. 2016 was his first season as Director of college scouting and we have not seen the results of his work since it's this upcoming 2017 draft where the results will be seen. Before that he was an area scout. Which area?

just great another rookie

Thanks thl...I was about to put in some time on another spreadsheet. LOL

Some guys just have the ability to recognize talent when they see it. They don't have to have years and years of experience. It is just in their nature.

It is certainly more of an art, than science. And like you said, you either have it or you don't (like speed in the NFL).

Absolutely correct. It is petty.

Just curious, but what would you guys do if someone owed you $300k and didn't give a s**t the advice you gave him?

Maybe I break their legs but I am not a football team.
The 49ers have an image problem that could hurt them from attracting talent. Would a hard line on Aldon make them less or more attractive to potential FAs?

Exactly. If it was all science then there will be no busts.

I feel pretty hopeful that John Lynch has an eye for talent. For one, he singled out Kyle Shanahan on top of everyone else including Josh McDaniels long ago as being the top candidate for any team looking for a HC this offseason. He then followed that up by hiring Adam Peters right off the bat. You got to say so far so good at this point.

OR he realizes that he'll get at LEAST 6 years of employment. That s**t in Denver was great while Manning was there, with Semian and The rookie it might implode at in the next couple of years.

$300k to the team is $3 dollars to us. When you weigh the pros and cons it's not worth the negative press it receives.

I don't get it. People act like the Broncos went 4-12 last year. They were a miracle against Kansas City away from making the playoffs this season. And the year they won the Super Bowl, Manning was trash. Nothing more than a spiritual leader.

Well if you think about the law suit is justified, this shouldn't be a red flag towards the 49ers front office. If you owe someone, you owe someone and I'm pretty sure if any free agents asked about the Aldon Smith situation it would be clear with no b******t. Aldon Smith is not exactly what you call a boy scout, so why do thi fool any favors, or was it CK's fault for hooking up with his ex?
