John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4436

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.

Lynch " We looked who was available out there and in the end we liked the guys we have already on our team"

Reporter (Kawakami or Cohn) "but John 6 out of your 10 linemen are injured"

Yup, if only that "magical crystal ball" had been working back then......John would have known that 60% of our Linemen would be injured.

If only he knew that both our starting DE's were coming off torn ACL's. Oh wait

Bosa was back for week one...Williams shouldn't be too much longer. I would have been happy if he drafted or signed another Edge for sure, but my post was clearly directed to the 60% DL injuries comment. Maybe try reading the comments again very slowly, and hopefully you can grasp the concept this time.

Hopefully a full week of prep with Watkins in the rotation helps us. Denver's D is no joke and we now don't have an X. Itll be really hard to move the ball, IMO. Same against Seattle.

With Texans being 0-3, I wonder if they'll send any of the defensive guys our way in a trade.

Nobody's punting on the season on Week 3, especially a team that overcame a 0-3 start only last year.

Any trades will happen close to the deadline, as usual.

I wouldn't say that in the ny giants case, a trade could be had soon there with their qb out

Well that's a given lol. But quality teams that are having a down year are the ones most likely to send a guy or two away that's worth having. So those are the teams to watch. If someone is competing, they're unlikely trade away a quality player. Lol

I think teams wont even consider trading until deadline.

+1

Giants are 2-1 in a weak division. They're looking to be buying, not selling, IMO. If I'm the Giants I'm trading for Cousins ASAP if the Raiders decide to transition to Mendoza mid-season. I know LV is playing well, but they may believe that would make such a transition to a young QB easier. A QB like Cousins doesn't threaten Dart in 2027, either.
