John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4342

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.

Heres his stat line for 2025:

27 pressures, 2 sacks, 14 solo tackles.

Agree, and if I was the 49er GM, I'd definitely pencil him in as a recruit for being Kyle's assistant LB coach in the future.

If you look at future years we have no cap space

The plan obvious to anyone is to roll over space and make future years easier while leaving flexibility for a mid season acquisition if needed for a SB push if everything aligns

One of the things putting us over the cap, ATM, is BA's projected $41M cap hit. So that isn't going to happen. Once we cut him post June 1, we will have even more cap space this year.

also Bosa is projected to have $54M cap hit, I'm sure that'll change too. Factor in the roll over and those two things - the salary cap will be fine.

Why would they get rid of him if he was still good?

He requested a release and they granted it to him. I think he would be intriguing as a FS.

Because what this team really needs is another undersized nickel corner

I don't know much about him but he does have 21 career Interceptions.

Why would Glynch be interested in a FS now, they had all 3 days to get a legit one (Shnanny brainwashed him to hate on safeties)

Moore isn't really a safety. Not sure why they're labeling him like that. He's a slot guy. I'm sure he could play FS but a bit small.

Just looked and he's got 58 snaps at FS in his 9 years in the NFL…

Yeah. Plus this regime also never, ever really considered moving someone from slot to play safety. The other way around, for sure - they did it with Ward and also Logan Ryan.

Strib had 9 drops is 5 seasons. KC had 7 last year alone and 19 in 3 seasons.
