John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 2753

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.

Same folk who choose to complain we didn't make that trade would be the same ones complaining about making that trade, had we done that.

Just sayin'.

The only thing that can stop this team is injuries. The only dang thing and we just happen to have the worst luck. Even in 2019 we were riddled with injuries.

LMAO the 2019 team was healthy as hell. 🧢

I agree, I think the only missing big piece was our center if I'm not mistaken.

Dee Ford. Kwon Alexander. Matt Breida lol. We were good enough to overcome that however.

I thought they all played in the Super Bowl? Maybe not breida.

We were unhealthy during the season, but got healthy just in time for the playoffs. Good timing

I don't blame him for not trading 3 first rounders for Stafford.

But I tell ya what. This thread is gonna get real good in April once he passes on Quarterback in the draft

So does this mean this is a tank year for detroit before they toss goff next year?

they still seem to be making the playoffs most of the time. Is it really that much of a big deal?

That is until they trade Aaron Donald for 3 first-round picks.

That's what I would do if I were them after this season.

Maybe it's bc the Lions new GM likes Goff (helped draft him) and is using him as a decent placeholder (much like Hoyer) until they find their QB. You still have to beat the offer, so 2 firsts without a bad contract?!?

The only way they can get 3 first round picks trading Aaron Donald is if they fire their GM Les Snead, and Snead join another team

Niner fans were bragging about the same crap with Ramsey. But I have yet to see the ramifications in all honesty. I'm actually beginning to appreciate Les Snead's aggressiveness
