John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4397

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.

Get another solid Edge and a true FS in here

Are we certain MM is the answer? Davis / Sigle might be solid backups at best, I'm just not sure either one is good enough to start

Heres that BIG edge rusher signing.

what i like about romello is i understand he's a 25 year old rook or something like that, that means maybe he comes into the nfl mature and ready to ball

Lets hope he becomes a great player for us!

Another draft without any actual long holdouts thank god but the new CBA really makes holding out too hard as the money is all set for the most part

The Niners always get their draft picks signed. The holdouts happen after that.
