John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3716

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.

yeah, it's what I did,... 7 games from 17 is more than enough to judge a player,... and he was crap against the run,... pure and utter crap

we need to fix the run defense which was one of the worst of the entire league and do you want to sign a 30 yo guy, who's going to be very expensive (while there are many cheaper players) and who was the worst run defender last year?
OK, fine.,... but I just hope they don't sign him

I don't mind a couple vets at the right price, but regardless I expect a few o and d linemen taken this draft. We need to infuse the trenches with young blood.

i think reports during the combine said SF would target OL, cornerback and maybe WR in FA. I don't think there was ever going to be a big splash. Hopefully they can though with Dalman (unlikely), or Bosa or Greenlaw. I think Bartch may be the Banks replacement.

Let's see what they do this next few days before we judge.

Dalman is gonna be a Bear. I'm guessing they grab some DL help and a vet CB.

I'm hearing DJ Reed at corner is a possibility. sucks about Dalman, but that was never gonna happen.

Theymay be a little hesitant to pay big for free agents since many of them don't work out. We've seen several recent signings get released after a year or two. Injuries . Poor scheme fit. Whatever.

There's that old saying that says buyer beware. When teams release a player there is always a reason. Could be salary. Could be declining production. Could be a locker room issue. Theh there's the injury issue which is more common when you sign older payers.

Obviously I don't know but I don't see the niners getting crazy in FA this year.
Perhaps a couple.
Focus on draft.
Late summer FA pick ups.

I don't see how you can do anything significant with purdys deal outstanding...

This has already been botched so badly.

What if he doesn't sign and now it's a scramble at QB because he wants a trade.

How can you make any moves if you don't know what you have resource wise to make those moves...

I wonder if they have a deal done and are waiting to announce?

waiting to have other QBs signed is only going to drive the price higher.

If say Darnold gets a monster deal then the 9ers really botched this badly.

Yah but whose to say he wouldn't bounce back with the 49ers, that seems to happen with some of the free agents they sign. Sometimes different supporting cast, different coaches make the player better.

Remember everyone, it feels good to win free agency, but teams that do don't win championships.

Nothing wrong with adding a few players, say one big signing then a bunch of second tier free agents.
