John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4087

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.

$30m in dead money. Don't expect any big name signings.

Dam I forgot about BA's deadweight contract. They gotta find a FA upgrade for Brendal

Crap team with holes all over. Injuries everywhere. Aging team with no heart. Missed draft picks and bad free agent deals galore. Terrible trades like Trey Lance. At some point you need to take accountability. Time to move on from him.

I don't trust these boneheads whatsoever in the draft.

Promote him to president or whatever and get someone from the rams' front office. Give Kyle the players and the ability to retool regularly like McVay does.

I doubt he can reload with the way he's been picking, we need a new talent evaluator!

the Trey Lance debacle looms large. 90% of this board was complicit. Shame

Im honestly not interested in big name signings. We need lots of help and that comes from the draft and having players on rookie contracts. Seven picks in the first four rounds is enough to few a couple of holes.
