John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4420

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 the LG situation under control. Sign a Vet or trade for a player. In the playoffs, we are most likely going to face great DL's (and in the regular season 4 times vs the Rams and Seahawks). This will improve our offense and help us win games.....and another SB

Hate to trade a 1st for Nelson when both safety positions are as big a question mark as LG is.

exactly faithful. They can't be stubborn and think they can always scheme up protections and the running game (Unless you have Brunskill vs Aaron Donald

). You can't scheme up against the Seahawks DL sorry. Get a big move done dammit.

That would be a great trade worth a 2nd and a future 3rd, but the colts need him for Taylor and the offense to succeed, so I doubt it materializes. There are 1 or 2 good guards available as FA's but like I said our FO is in denial

Well we did, remember. Traded for a decent veteran at LG in Patterson.

I highly doubt they will spend a 1st on a safety, just use the pick on someone proven.

BA has missed the reinstatement deadline of Sept 1 to be paid his option bonus and the deadline is now Sept 1 of 2027. That gives the 49ers 363 days of contractual control - even if he is reinstated, without a massive payout required.

RIGHT NOW the 49ers can… https://t.co/7AdTmuFmhe

At this point this is like watching a horror movie.

"Just get in the car and leave the damn cabin!!!"

EVERYONE watching this knows what dude needs to do, and he just.....doesn't.

I hope he for once stands on business with what he says that he's never coming back into the building etc... that means he can't actually reinstate.

You can't. It's literally impossible. I hate to break it to you guys, but everyone in professional sports is on PEDs. This ain't your grandpappy's world where people were pumping only anabolic steroids. This new age s**t is different ie peptides, growth hormones, sarms, stims, etc.

Personally, I think they should do the opposite and allow everything. Full transparency under medical supervision. No more playing this dumbass game of pretending athletes making millions of dollars are clean(they're not).

I'm 100% with you. Been saying it for years. At minimum allow it when guys are rehabbing and trying to recover from injuries.

Trade a first round pick in one of the more talented drafts in a while for a 30 year old guard who you will have to give a record setting contract to?

No thanks...

2nd rounder would be highest I'd go.
