John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 4612

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.

Secondary has been an issue. Even with pressure, guys are open instantaneously.

Imagine if Demo or Green misses time……or both

I actually wonder...
Hypothetically, would it help us more to get an elite safety or an elite CB? Not that I don't think there's an elite DB we could get, but just for discussion sake.

YES! Depending on the health of Green and Lenoir. Green's injury didn't look good and he needed help getting off the field.

Brown has no buisness starting. He made a nice tackle on Mayer to save a TD but he is a liability in coverage. Mustapha has been pretty good but has lapses in coverage. Sigle is better than Brown but shouldn't be a starter.

Jessie Bates would be ideal. So would Budda Baker.

At corner Juju Brents would be a good fit as a boundary corner.

Sigle should absolutely be a starter once he's right. Him and Bates then him Bates and Mustapha in a 3 S alignment would be strong.

Will McDonald per Rapoport wants out of NYJets. Let's bring him over. He's a buddy of Brock too I think from college?

#Jets pass-rusher Will McDonald IV has informed the team that he wants to be traded, sources say.

McDonald has played sparingly this season and is extremely frustrated with his usage. The former first-rounder wants more opportunities and the team is aware. pic.twitter.com/QCxFC0Ciwn

I'd give our 2nd rounder up for him and do his 2027 salary as a signing bonus and spread it out and then actively resign him next year for an extended contract. With him on the field perhaps Bosa would have less doubles and chips and perhaps he'd play more . . . ?

Asked this in the realistic trade thread but I do feel that Lynch is staying pat. Anyone agree at this point? Hope I'm wrong but I think the Niners are too cheap right now. I think they've made their offers and other teams are seeing if anyone gives them more. If not, then maybe we get an off name that may or may not make an impact this year.

I think that maybe they don't think this team is good enough to go all-in on this year.
