John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4519

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.

In coming to a contract compromise with Vea before the regular season, the Bucs "didn't act as if he was part of their long-term future, and if teams come looking for a big, run-stuffing defensive tackle, Tampa would be silly not to listen," Graziano said. Vea through Week 6 has a 17 percent pass rush win rate, which ranks 15th among defensive tackles. - Denny Carter

Going on a limb here and predicting John Lynch makes this trade for Vita Vea. I understand how solid Halton and Osa been, but he would definitely upgrade the run defense. I just don't think Lynch swings for the fences for a pass rusher with Bosa coming back and how improved the pass rush has been with Height, White and even Dugger.

I'd do it. He's signed for next year too.

If you want to see Osa and Halton's production increase 10 fold put them next to a NT like Vea who demands a double

Or imagine this 5 man front Morris likes using:

DE- Bosa
DT- Osa
NT- Vea
DT- Halton
DE- Williams

With Height and White getting reps too.

That would be one helluva D-line!!! That would be a pretty solid D-line rotation too.

Oh that trade is still talked about as one of the worst ever

Niner fans never forget. They're still talking about missed calls in the last SB appearance. Still complaining about not picking Mahomes even though that was never going to happen.

This is my pick.

We saw what a difference Evans made. He was the type of receiver the team hasn't had in years. Vea is the type of D lineman they haven't had in years. A really stout guy in the middle that can stuff the run. Nice to have those guys on short yardage situations. Put him next to an active guy like Halton od Isa with Bosa and Williams or Height on the edge and you can create some havoc. With that front it can allow more safety blitzes to get through.

Gonna be a hefty price. I'm thinking a little bit more than what Denver traded for Waddle.

Garrett Wilson would definitely be a splash but I can't help but wonder who we would lose because of him. His contract is not cheap.

I would offer our 3027 first and that's it. I think a first is good enough

Yeah, who knows if the world will even exist as we know it in 100 years, let alone the NFL. Might as well send far future picks if teams are dumb enough to accept.

I like this rotation. Let's be honest it's going to be Chiefs. Need to stop their run or any other team that might have a good running game.

what about Elliot ? He was just released by titans. We didn't have any issues with him here and we don't know the whole story.

I was hoping with the Cowboys doing bad they could trade for Turpin( )
But i would rather they go get Dallas Goedert or a similar TE than a Jennings type.

Turpin is only rostersble for special teams. As a WR, he's as bad as cowing

Hang on now I'm no Dallas fan or Turpin fan, but the dude has caught multiple TDs, decent yards, and was involved heavily in their offense at one point. It's disrespectful to compare him to Cowing
