You act like this never happens in the NFL. Foster will get another chance and if he screws up it's on Foster not Lynch

why does it kill you to just say lynch made an error in player judgement.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Lynch spent time with the guy. He also sent a pastor/counselor and another staffer to spend two days with him. They all affirmed that he was worth the risk. As of 2/13/18 it looks like the decision reached by all those people MAY have been wrong. However, there should be no rush to judgement. There is no need to hurry. OTAs are two months away. There is plenty of time to reach a measured decision as to what to do. In the meantime, the legal proceedings will bring us a great deal more information.

For my part, I am fine with him serving a one year suspension if for nothing more than sending him a stern wake-up call.

As to short-term action by Lynch, the only thing that is clear is that he no longer has any options with the first choice in the draft. It MUST be a ILB, either Smith or Edmunds. So while that may not be the worst thing that could happen, it shows how serious this matter has become.

My .02 worth...

He makes no mistakes becuase drafting a guy in the first who leads the league in arrests is normal. Great job gm of the year.

Why? Even without Reuben OL, CB and LEO are bigger needs. We'll need to add to the position either way but Croyle should resign, Smith is coming back at WILL along with Lee who has some upside. I don't get people panicking about having to take an ILB early now..

Yes he is the GM of the year.

Drafting and trading players is his Job. Now, say if JG turned out to be a bust then he should be blamed.

Kyle Shanny says to throw in Joe Williams on Lynch's tab.

We can still take an ILB and fix the oline

We don't need to draft ILB with the first pick. The 49ers managed without foster for multiple games.

sorry. its a big need now. no clue about smith and what else do you have? no we draft a inside backer with our first pick or second.

well it looks like you are getting yourself ready to blame Lynch if we don't go LB

Could address LB'er in FA, or outside of the first or second round round. This team is not obligated to go after the high priced FA's or most hyped LB'ers in the draft class, Borland and Bowman both were found in the 3rd round. We may take one early or sign a name player to fill the void but also a chance we do not.

He's not an all-pro already so clearly it was a huge mistake drafting him, in the fourth round. Fireable offense for Lynch?

i just think its amusing the people lynch said would be cornerstones for our defense in ward and foster went down the tubes or are going down the tubes. and what has joe done to make anyone think he will be a player for us or even be on the team next year. maybe lynch should not run around with his mouth making such bold predictions for players like ward and foster
