John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4198

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.

Completely rebuild? You on prescription medicine?

The Niners have more problems than they have answers. Boss,Warner,Trent,Kittle and McCaffrey will all be on their way out when the Niners are ready to win again. The Niners are third in their own division. You're only kidding yourself if you think this roster is going to compete.

Behind - Yes
far behind - No

Health and a good draft and they are right in this.

I mean… we did beat both on the road last season.

Whether those wins were fools gold or not is for you to decide though.

I'm feeling pretty pessimistic about our aging players and roster in general.

maybe I'm just bitter about how the rams and Seahawks have won their championships also

A team which went 12-5 last year with their two best defensive players and their best wide receiver down and out, their starting qb down for eight games and injuries scattered around the rest of the roster do not go a complete rebuild. There isn't any point in even talking about it. It doesn't happen and it won't happen. End.

Would love to see them make trades though.

Same thing. Those players take up cap space too.

I'm sure we'll make some moves but I doubt it will be any big splash signings or trades.

They weren't fools gold. We were a good team last year. Ended poorly ngl. But we beat the bears in a shootout late in the season when they were hot. Consistently pretty good all year

How about rebuild 3/5 of the Oline starting with center and going left.

No problem with work on the O line and the wide receiver room, tight end assistance and pass rush. But that is what teams do in the offseason.
