John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4052

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.

The Raiders shutting him down when he wants to play says a lot about how he plays. The Raiders should have shut him down at the half way point of the season with their thinking considering how bad the whole team is.

Maxx Crosby has reportedly left the team's facility due to a disagreement over his playing status for the team's two final regular season games, per @JayGlazer

No way the Raiders would trade with us directly.

I wish we could trade for Maxx. Al Davis never wanted to deal w/us out of jealousy because we won so many SB's and played in the same area.

But that horrible owner, mark Davis, is living in the past and that's why they have no future.

Any team claiming Trevon Diggs would be responsible for his remaining $472,222 guaranteed game check this season. That makes it likely he clears waivers and then will become a free agent. https://t.co/mHM1j7D0al

No, he's washed. Even when he was good, he gambled a lot. I remember him getting a ton of picks in 2021, but Shanahan attacked him in the playoffs.

not going to happen but can he be moved to S? He is a bit of a playmaker even if he gets beat might be useful as a centerfielder

Moving a FA CB to S WK18 on a new team? If we're truly looking for a S there's gotta be someone chilling on a PS or unsigned
