John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 366 | 49ers Webzone Forum

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.

Man now I don't know how to feel... this is exciting but is there a such thing as buying too many pieces?

Would you rather us not spend the remaining 80 mil in salary cap?

I'm hoping we save a decent chunk for next year. It makes sense this season to get a lot of B & C players with the expectation that a few will probably be busts and then when we have only one or two holes (rather than last year's swiss cheese) we can spend the rest on some big time names.

Normally I'd agree but we were bereft of depth and talent and we have the money. Even the best drafts only net 3-4 contributors, we need to rebuild in FA as well. The one thing that Baalke left us was $$$.

Need to set a culture and a tone on defense. If we get Poe. I would say we are a Big WR, pass rusher, OC, and Cousins away from competing for a playoff spot.

Gordon is still under contract with Cleveland. I believe Cleveland will actually keep him and let Pryor walk. That's the feeling I get.

Lynch and co gets an A for free agency from me so far. Don't get why some of you are complaining about these signings. I don't remember the last time we were this active. If we land Pryor or Bouye, it's an A+

A lot of people say we aren't close to competing, but realistically if we sign FA properly, draft a couple playmakers and get a qb (cousins or draft Watson/trubisky), then I don't see why we can't make the Wildcard this year at worst.

Assuming we can gameplay well.

Everything is going to take time to gel together.

I'm still predicting 6 wins this year.

Not a contender yet. A Cousins trade, an Alshon Jeffery pick up. Get a piece or two in the draft, seriously the unthinkable could happen. We have the 20th hardest schedule in the NFL next year.

Lol u high?

Cleveland i believe has already pretty much said they have washed their hands with him and are moving on.
