John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 2320

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.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout

I'm going to tweet some unfiltered texts I've received about John Lynch and the 49ers...

"Just what they need, another safety who can't cover."

"Dumb as f***"

"Jed must want to go 0-16 for Rosen"

"You interview three media guys and wonder why no real football people want your job"

"The Browns are laughing at the 49ers right now"

Age well these comments did not.

Just a savage effing draft class

So nice to see a niners draft class on a list that doesn't include the words bust or ACL injuries for a change.

Thanks for posting! 4 Saints on that list as well. They draft farther back every year and continue to reload. They and the Pats have been excellent at scouting for a number of years. I hope we can keep it up and hold our staff intact!

I don't want to turn this into a Pat's thread but that's exactly why new England has been baffling this year. Usually they are 5 steps ahead when it comes to lining up the next guy but they had zero plans for gronks departure, they traded their QB successors, they have no wide out depth. It's like the twilight zone.

When it comes to next man up, no one did better than the Niners front office team this year. That's truly an amazing accomplishment.
