John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3079

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.

another way of looking at it:

2x 2023 4th Rd comp picks (if we don't sign anyone major to off-set)

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.

The salary cap is BS. The Saints are 60 million over the cap every year and never lose anyone. Hand out huge extensions and are now trying to trade for Deshaun Watsons huge contract. The 49ers front office has failed miserably at getting a QB to win a Superbowl all the while leaving holes in the roster. Passed on Tom Brady for Jimmy. Huge fail. Last offseason CB acquisitions were a complete joke. What is this year 6 or 7 for Lynch and we still don't know if we have a f**king QB. More question marks then answers.

LOL tHE SaLAry CAp iS a MyTH

Saints are unable to sign any of their free agents this year. They are losing their all pro LT and the pro bowl S bc they literally don't have the space to sign them. I bet they have a # of players they are willing to trade away for Watson to help get them under the cap. And when have the Saints been the franchise to model your franchise after? WTF have they done recently other than lose to the god damn 49ers!!!

So, we've lost two quality starters and haven't signed anyone ourselves yet.

The cap isn't a myth, but there are ways to manipulate It, ala the Rams/Chiefs

Both have recently won a super bowl. Why would they need to freak out?

You can only do so much manipulating. Saints are a good example there.

I know, yeah. The Rams and chiefs both won super bowls by pushing the cap to the limit.

I'm hating Lynch this offseason, but a superbowl and an nfc championship game in 3 years doesn't allow me to s**t on him... right now.

No doubt, at least they'll be able the say it was worth it, after winning x number of super bowls.
