John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3730

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.

We did pass on our guys who have been often injured these past 2 seasons. I'm ok with the young healthy movement…. But we will negate that by signing Joey Bosa probably

Free Agency lasts a long time, plus there is still the draft. We have to pay the piper

If you think the Niners were going to be big players in signing big flashy FA, you haven't been paying attention.

Every year the fans melt down during FA. This team has never been splashy during FA. Outside of like...2007 and I think 2011 maybe...I can't think of a time where they made insanely bold moves in March.

When we did it it didn't work, see Hargrave.

I did like the Mooney deal in F/A a few years ago.

Yeah, that TE Luke "318" Farrell is a shining star in this cloudy day

Agreed. Gotta rip the band aid off at some point. The guys from our team who just got paid elsewhere were marginal at best or constantly injured and are cashing in. Mooney was a good signing.

Best FA signing is Justin Smith after Mike Nolan's helicopter date.
