John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 3941

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.

They ain't gonna do s**t, they happy with who they have, it's not a priority with this regime

I just made a post regarding this in the in game thread. Basically if they had a shot at an elite center prospect in the draft, rounds 1 or 2 only- would they pass in favor of the 27 - 30 year old "seasoned", but far less talented vet?

Yes absolutely they did that 2 years ago no reason to think they'd do anything differently now.

This. Mr. Shackleford is correct.

Instead of looking to add a DE, Lynch should look to trade Jennings and see if someone out there would be willing to give us a pick. At this point, we have to be realistic and look to sell and let the youngsters play.

Don't waste draft capital on this trash team. Play the young guys the rest of the way to get ready for next season. Hope Warner and Bosa heal properly

Play the young guys and let them develop on the field. Need to find the next wave of star players with the majority of the core on IR.

Trash take.

This "trash team" is 4-2 despite all the injuries.

CMC maybe another year, I think this is Trent's last year. I would trade Trent to the Chiefs and let him ride out into the sunset!
