John Lynch - 49ers GM

People who like to think they know a lot about the topic under discussion but are actually pretty clueless. People who think the team would be better off if only the front office would listen to them. People who hate a particular player or exec and turn every post into an indictment of the object of their scorn and surprisingly at least one poster who seems to actually hate the team, has never in my memory ever posted a single positive thing about them, and likes to frame all of his posts in one sentence responses that I guess he thinks are clever. Which of course they aren't. If you have the patience though and stay out of certain threads, like this one, you will find that there are about 20 or 30 people who post in here on a regular basis who actually have some interesting things to say. A lot of it is pretty tiresome though

Wow. Foster really ruined Lynch's approval rating on here all by himself. It was a regular love-fest with Shanny-lynch, then 2 arrests later and people are questioning all his moves since he got here. Unbelievable.

I've never seen a more bipolar, whiny fanbase than ours. It's really pathetic.

WOW, we held trent and every other gm responsible for players they drafted and did not turn out . why in the world is lynch a sacred cow

Sure, but he still quit. I feel bad for em but doesn't mean he makes a good player for the team

Dudes like Goodwin lost his baby and still played that week and became better because of it. That is what we should be looking for. High character and mentally tough. Not the ones who pack it up and go home.

Lynch has done a lot of good things. Jimmy G being the best. Also, Garcon and the Juice were nice additions. Trent Taylor looks cool. Colbert looks nice. Weathespoon a nice prospect. Kittle shows promise.

I don't see why we can't discuss some potential mistakes if we can gush over Jimmy G like he's the next 10 time super bowl champ. Lynch has done well but as a noob we should keep an eye out for errors, imo.

Goodwins situation is different than what Williams went through. And people are all different and handle situations differently.

And yet Kyle Shanahan, Bobby Turner and Williams Utah HC Kyle Whittingham all say otherwise. All men who have personally spoke to him about his situation and were compassionate to what he had and was still going through.

agree times ten. its like early in the year when we lost games and then won them, if kyle deserves credit for winning games then he also deserved some critical discussion on losing games. of course had lynch not got jimmy in here we would not have won those games in my opinion

show me where some are questioning "all of his moves".. some of us showed great concern he misjudged two players in williams and foster. when we do that, some posters just get all bent out of shape and form the impression that lynch is some one who is above scrutiny

I know they are different situations. But both were tragic. And people do handle things differently. That is my point. We are better off getting the ones who handle it like Goodwin did. It sounds rough and cold but it is a business. Do you want to hire the guy who quit when his sister died or the guy who fought through that and worked his butt off and became better? It is an easy choice imo.

Solomon Thomas is in a similar situation i wouldn't be shocked if he walks away or takes some time to deal with his loss.

Oh yeah huh, poor guy.

Hopefully he goes the Goodwin route and not the Williams way.
