John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3712

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.

Nope

Despite finishing last, the 49ers are favored to win the NFC West again 👀

This was before the Adams signing.

I take JJ all day. Ricky. Maybe BA. Kittle. Yee have little faith. f**k the Rams.

This has nothing to do with faith, this is about the favorite odds of winning the west. It was already close odds the Niners dropped Collins, Rams added Adams.

J j is a stud and will get to light it up further. Same for Ricky. Draft not here yet.

That said we'll probably overpay for Joey so I'll sound dumb soon lol

Then we're both coping because I see it the same way.

This isn't a comparison of players lol.... obviously its not draft time yet and the odds will probably change again after the draft.

I have a funny feeling we'll sign Amari Cooper in response to this. Just a hunch.

I thought it said Davante Adams signing two year deal with 49ers. Didn't bother reading the rest. Lol

His seat could not be colder. He's closer to a lifetime contract than getting fired.

You may be right, but who knows. I think he can still get better at his job.

So… it's either two years $46M or one year $26M? That doesn't make it cheaper lol
