John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4539

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.

Wow, we're a team that could decide to attempt to trade for DeForest Buckner? Are we also a team that could decide not to attempt to trade for DeForest Buckner?

Personally, if we stop Dijon mustard today, I don't think we need Buckner.

Today's loss can be a blessing in disguise. Win with all the injuries and the FO could say our "moves" are getting guys back from injury. This might create some urgency to go all in this year.
