John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3713

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.

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

Focusing more on today and tomorrow, while other teams are making trades and signing their guys. We are still negotiating. Looks like we are letting all of our f/a guys walk or test the market, which pretty much equals the same thing.

this will be an interesting off-season.

you know damn well what I mean.

90% of the GMs in the league would love to have Lynch's record.

He hasn't proved to be a as good as the Chiefs/Eagles GMs and thats about it.

Tbh aside Greenlaw and ward (who won't be back as he needs a fresh start and that's fine) nobody needed to be retained.

with that in mind you'd think they'd be zeroed in in getting Purdy done and fast.

if they don't plug a few holes in FA I'll start believing Jed has a money problem. Safety, center, online and dline tbh. We need to see some moves.

Money problems or a lack of confidence

The Patriots and Chiefs have been on a Super Bowl run, the eagles are now on that path. Our Super Bowl run was in the 80's and 90's.

It could be but that won't be determined by anything that's happened up to this point.

knock it off. You are not being serious right now.

So he is the 3rd or 4th best GM in the league - good luck replacing that with a name you don't even have in mind.

You're going to be disappointed. Lynch will be the GM for many years. Don't conflate your opinions with reality. Don't do this to yourself.

Why do you want him gone if he's a top 3-4 gm in the league?

Fair question. I said earlier the two wr deals they made are bad. But I'd say Bosa's deal is fair. Warners and kittles deal I would say the team won.

I think when they paid BA the idea was we had a real Super Bowl run ahead of us. That crashed the f out lol. I don't think there's that same expectation/aspiration this year. The learning lesson for them is sb run or not look at each deal more objectively etc.

I don't and never said I did.
I am a big fan of him.
