John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3077

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.

We go through this every year. Not sure why you guys want to overpay for guys only looking for max contracts on day 1?

I bet you didn't notice teams that are consistently good have yet to sign anyone. I wonder why????

I certainly wasn't the guy who was hyping JC Jackson and the like. I keep my expectations fairly low

I did notice them losing 47-17 in the playoffs.

Or prudently aggressive. idk

We don't want to get into a bidding war. We want players who other teams don't want.

Like, Josh Norman.

Maybe it's because they already have a good roster and no glaring needs at OL, CB, Edge, PR/KR like us.

So we don't have a good roster? Those teams don't have holes? C'mon bro…

It's sad. Day 1 of free agency are for teams who have a ton of cap space and suck for the most part.

but yet we have fans who expect the 49ers to somehow pull $20 million out of their butthole so they can overpay for one of these dudes.
