John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3710

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.

Would love this.

Heavy emphasis on rotating players in. Will help close out games in the 4th quarter.

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

I don't know how good Allen is, but according to PFF his ratings are worse than Collins. Collins also played doubled his snaps too.

Both seem to suck against the run.

I wanted Allen something fierce when he was coming out of college. Dude was a complete animal at bama. He's had a good career but seems to have declined over the last two years.

idk the circumstances but I would be happy with him in our system. He would mainly need to just eat up o line and let LBs eat. Salehs system is simpler for the players

Id rather have Collins than Allen. Hes a tad younger and is already under team control and has dead cap hit...and they still would have to pay Allen...

Yeah, but I don't get how getting Allen who we will probably have to pay more, is older and isn't as good as Collins according to PFF and sucks against the run like Collins is the upgrade or correct move.... I think Collins was a better pass rusher last year too. This move is confusing if we really are replacing Collins with Allen.

Exactly. It boggles my mind as to why do this sidegrade that probably would involve more money spent unless Collins is upset or demands to start no matter what

While the idea of playing with his brother Nick in San Francisco appeals to Joey Bosa, he is expected to garner strong interest from the Dolphins, per source.

A fallback option to Jonathan Allen?

Think I'd rather have DJ

I'd like Joey here cuz I think it's a good fit and I think he and Nick would make each other better and it's a cool story…but if he wants to prove himself out of us then it's not a big deal either.

As seen with so many, MONEY talks..... It's also most likely Joey's last chance of a big deal so I'm thinking he might take whoever offers the most years and guaranteed money.

They're not going to bid on him. The Niners have one thing no other team can offer. If Joey doesn't value that then that's fine. No use in having a unique offer AND paying the highest rate.
