John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4406

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.

Maybe Jed York will spend his money wisely this time by getting a couple of players on this list

These are the options if we were to make any moves for two of our needs in Free Agency.

One of those ERs has to be much better than one of our backups

At least one of those IOLs has to better at LG than what were going with right now

Am I lying

2025 draft class is not looking good. I know Mykel is hurt but regardless it's not what we expected so far
