John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3707

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.

It's signing Joey and then dumping Floyd that concerns me.

Yeah that's not a good idea without good depth. It is interesting and may give us a narrative for the league. You know the Ray Rice bowl, Andy Reid finally wins one and the Taylor swift bowl.

We were on the short list on those.

I think he'll be signed for the very reason that he can still be a good player and most of all, won't count against the comp pick formula.

Sounds like we're gonna be interested in Jonathan Allen

Have a feeling we're going to hear our name being interested in everyone and won't actually do too much. Can see Bosa coming, but doubt Allen does.

Allen is definitely going to be more expensive.

If he was willing to come down to somewhere 49ers are willing to pay, he'd be part of the Deebo trade.

Probably wasn't willing to take whatever and go into the FA waters.

True but it might be better for team to give him a new deal then restructure or extend what he already had in place.

Garrett is off the table getting extended by the Browns. I guess he didn't care about winning a championship after all. We shouldn't be dreaming about high priced FAs and need to focus on drafting studs.

Smelled like a new deal push from the start.

Meanwhile, I've heard Joey Bosa and 49ers are having good conversations and this feels like it's headed toward a deal.

Nothing is done, but the Bosa brothers want to be together and probably will get there this year. Which likely means this will be a moderate deal + incentives.

He wasn't ever on the table

A little sneaky power move by Garrett. We know what his priorities are.

Signing Bosa and Allen changes nothing about the draft. Both will be in a rotation and the need to get younger and bulk up the DL long term remains.

this is nice to hear. Bosa was the best player on the field in week 1 vs LV. Then the next week I think, he injured his groin and wasn't the same all season. If we can get him and he stays relatively healthy, he and little bro would be very exciting duo to watch.
