John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4602

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.

And can we stop recommending signing a f**king piece of s**t woman beater Tyreek Hill. Dude should be in prison not on a nfl roster

Don't forget beating and attempted murder of children

It's a wise move. Strong ST player and our coverage units haven't been up to par since he was injured.

Some of you clearly aren't "ALL IN" on winning a Super Bowl.

So your integrity is for sale. Good to know.

I don't think we should sign Hill, but none of this is up to me anyways.

After watching NFL analysts and insiders having no clue who the 49ers would pick in the 2021 draft, I'm very much doubtful when I hear that there were media leaks. During the JL/Shanahan era, not saying that the building is leak-proof, but they really try to avoid letting things get out.

Is it possible that we asked about Jauan Jennings? Yes. Is it possible that we had a deal in place, but JJ nixed it? Yes. Is it possible that either the 49ers or Vikings are sending smoke trails out? Yup, all those things are possible. But I can also see a lot of rumor mongers just hearing whispers and running with it and NFL front offices don't really care to dispute every media claim at there.

In either case, trading for Jauan Jennings is an odd idea, but it has merit if they don't believe in the depth of the WR room.
On the flip side, it doesn't make sense for the Vikings to help out another team they're competing for NFC seeding. And while our WR room is decimated by injuries, players we've invested in are back (Kirk), coming back after the bye (Deebo, Robinson, Evans), and will eventually be back (Stribling).

So all in all,

I wonder what the offer was ? I would take a 2nd or Kyle Hamilton

The #Ravens have been active this morning. They called the #49ers on QB Mac Jones. However, they seem to be pretty far off on compensation. pic.twitter.com/o8dSpJ27NL

I'm sure Lynch was anticipating the call and had a price ready.

I recall hearing a rumor during the offseason that Lynch wanted a 2nd for Mac because they believe Mac is a starter in the league.
