John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4343

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.

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

Yeah, he's a slot cornerback, and only 58 snaps at FS doesn't make me say "yeah sign him to play FS".

PFF has him at 1,002 snaps at Safety and being that SS and FS are interchangeable in today's NFL I'd say that's sufficient. And it's not like players like Charles Woodson had a bunch of snaps before changing positions. Some players when they get older move to Safety and others retire. I trust a slot corner to safety than a boundary corner to safety for instincts and feel.

I'd put money on Kenny being a better FS than Jaiir Brown from day one. In both run support and coverage.

I thought I read somewhere that he had over 1000 snaps at FS?
