John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3709

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.

Signing those two, who I both believe will be 30 next season, is a great start. I'm also all for doing what it takes to draft Mason Graham.

Joey will be 30 on 11 July. Nick will be 28 on 23 October.

How credible is Frascella? Granted it feels like only a matter of time since we have Nick.

Zero credibility, but creditable guys like TK think it will happen

I got a good feeling if this actually happens.

If he can remain healthy it's an awesome addition.

I got a good feeling too. All the 49ers need from his is 10 healthy games and I bet that puts the 9ers in the playoffs. Shoot Dee Ford only gave the 9ers 11 games, 2 starts his first year and the 49ers went to the Super Bowl.

Let's hope this works out better than when we got Chase Young

Not at all. But he's probably just going of TK's post.

He said Lance Newmark would be the Jets GM. They hired Darren Mougey.

I think Jonathan Allen, depending on the price tag, also is a possibility -- the 49ers can theoretically sign both veteran D-linemen. Doesn't mean they will. But adding Joey Bosa, I'm told, wouldn't rule out also going after Allen. https://t.co/MT1BT1AsNK

49ers have released defensive tackle Maliek Collins, per source. He will be a free agent Wednesday and eligible to sign with teams at that time.

I am mystified at how that didn't work.

I know it was just one play but that glaring lack of effort was just horrific for his legacy in SF.

Levi Unwuzurike would be an interesting signing for DT

This makes sense after releasing Collins. Get them both, and draft an offensive tackle at 11

A fallback option to Jonathan Allen?

Why? Chase Young only was a name due to school, draft positioning and rookie year. After that nothing much
