John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 2764

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.

What have the Bears won with awesome Mack? They must have at least made a conference championship, right?

lol, we are still the team to beat in the div. We don't need to give up that much for Staff, shoot we don't have to give that much for Watson.

The Bears went all in on to raise their ceiling to an 8-8 team.

Neither the Mack trade or Beckham trade paid the dividends people said they would for the team that got them. I'd say he's been prudent to not give up too much for players.

Mack has been awesome. OBJ got a serious injury.

Mack trade looks ok for the Bears, but we now have Bosa, who is so much younger and just as good, if not better. So we should have no regrets for not trading for Mack.

This is the way to go.

Kyle needs to draft & develop his own QB. Deshaun Watson will cost the moon. Use Jimmy G as a bridge. The rookie comes in on a reasonable contract with less pressure. Other QBs available in trades are just as risky as drafting a QB. Kyle & JL have to prove they can nail the pick

3 things, Kyle has never developed a rookie QB into a finished product. He has also never shown the eye for drafting a good QB to begin with, other than his dad liking Cousins. Not to mention him and Lynch are in win now mode, not develop a rookie QB mode.

I dont trust Kyle to have the scouting eye to pick a good one, or the patience to develop one.

yeah good point. And to think CJ was a higher draft pick than even Cousins.

Giving up two first round picks for an edge rusher seems like a little too much Imo, regardless of how good Mack Is

Whoever trades for Watson is going to have to pay a ransom. The rams messed up the trade market. They offered way more than anyone else - they might of had to cause they didn't have any picks this year to give away

They had to over pay to have a team take that horrible Goff contract

Every year Kirk Cousins to the Niners rumors pop up. It goes back to Kyle showing some interest in him at one time and the fact that Cousins isn't so good that he would cost a lot. Assuming he stays healthy I would rather keep JG.

Dee Ford has the same sack/game percentage as Mack ! hint: according to the Jimmy thread > games you don't play in don't count
