Yes, I'm not a huge fan of analytics other than as a tool for managers to use. Lynch called it just that and I hope he uses his knowledge/intuition as much or more than analytics. The problems start when you have an analytics guy with an ear of the owner overruling or short circuiting the GM. If that happens it can become a very dysfunctional system. Paraag's power in the organization is still worrisome to me and I really want Lynch to have a chance without having Jed and Paraag looking over his shoulder every time he turns around.

You said it better than me!

The only time Paraage should provide Lynch with analytics is if he asks for it.

Makes me wonder if that department will start to shrink while more football guys are brought into the FO by Lynch.

He tried to rocket science it to much. I remember in the past our injuries were tolerable. This year was a disaster. Hey Uyeyama, if it aint broke...

Anyone who still needs convincing, go listen to the 20 minute Murph & Mac KNBR interview with Lynch. Youll be all in after hearing that.

He has some great, Bay Area centric stories. He was drafted in the 2nd round (66th overall) of the expansion Florida Marlins in the 1992 MLB draft. The 2nd ever draft pick in Marlins history. He was a mediocre QB at Stanford, so he had fully committed to playing baseball after he was drafted.

Bill Walsh took over as Stanford football coach, and called Lynch in to talk before he made any final decisions. He told Lynch "I think you should stay here and play football. I want to convert you to S, and I believe you have the abilities to become a Hall of Fame level NFL S." So he stayed with football.

Durinf his brief stint in the Marlins minor league system, he was roommates with a 17 year old Edgar Renteria, and was asked to look out for him.

Fun fact, for 49ers GM Scot McCloughan was also drafted in the 1992 MLB draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. Weird coincidence.
Cool stories, but I see no relevance how all that translates to him being the GM to rebuild the franchise. I'm not going all in because he has cool stories. Everyone has cool stories.

I never said the stories were the thing that would convince you.

Go listen to the interview.

Okay you said, "Youll be all in after hearing that." Then went on about all those stories. I've heard that interview. He knows what he doesn't know and will surround himself with the people he knows. That's swell. Tell me what part of that interview should get me to, "be all in after hearing that". Save your eye roll emoticon.

I wasn't going to explain the entire interview in a post. I just brought up the stories as an interesting side note.

Everything Lynch said told me he gets it. He understands what he doesn't know, and his limitations, and is building a staff to strengthen those things. He's essentially going to be in charge of football operations, and delegate. Adam Peters was a fantastic hire, and shows he knows what to look for.

Not to defend Uyeyama but our total injured list ranked #23 (low) in the league, according to mangameslost.com. Losing Bowman was the 4th most significant injury in the league (AP, Watt and Cutler higher impact on their team). We sucked because our starters sucked and the backups sucked. It wasn't that we had a high injury rate. We didn't. We were in the bottom 1/3.

By comparison, Atlanta ranked #25 and New England ranked #27 in terms of number of games lost due to injury. IOW, our injury rate was roughly the same as the two teams in the Super Bowl.

Got it. He is saying the right things and is humble about what he doesn't know. I was listening to the NN podcast (reaction to Lynch hiring) and they brought up a good point imo. How does Lynch know if the advice he is getting is bad/good advice if he has such little experience in front office issues?

If one of his right hand men say, "you should do this, but not that". He has no prior experience to decide if the advice is worth applying. I'm excited about the hire, but I'm not all in because there is so much unknown. And I'm not implying that getting someone with front office experience would have increased the chances of success, I'm implying that because there is no history/experience, there is a lot to be unsure about. My excitement and skepticism about Lynch blurs together.
What's Willis doing these days?
