Solid signing Mr. Lynch.
Wow can't believe we paid that much for him and let Hyde walk when he took 5M a yr. McKinnon will look great in Shannys system of course but what other team was offering him almost 8M a yr?? Wtf

He is a chess piece and someone not many linebackers can cover. He is in the mold of Dion Lewis, Christian Mcaffrey or Kamara and returns kicks also.

Agreed. Great post.

He's a returner too?

Yes.Returned 12 kicks last yr averaged 26 yards


Errrrrmagardh we overpaidz! Our future and depthz!

Shanny runs 2 RBs.

Freeman makes over 8 million a year and splits rushes with Coleman. You're fixating on price.

Under Shanahan Freeman rushed 227 times in 2016.

From the Richburg signing and this we're fully transitioning to outside zone dominant and McKinnon fit's that scheme much better than what the Vikings used him for.

Exactly.

I said rush not touches.

You're literally the only one arguing this. Give it up. Receiving backs don't get 250 rushes.

Where did i say 250 rushes???

He hasn't been anywhere near the player Kamara showed as a rookie but he does have the potential to be a mismatch nightmare guy in Kyle's offense. He has really good hands and he has big time speed but everything I have read on him is that he has really poor vision. This scares me. He was a pretty good player in Minnesota but could never take the leap to becoming a real good player and a difference maker. Hopefully that changes in SF

I blame most of his lack of production on Minnesota pushing touches to Peterson and Norv Turner. Like Boise said, CRIMINALLY underused. His athleticism and strength are off the charts, check his combine numbers. The rank is for overall that year, not RB class... Link

Event Stat Rank
Broad Jump 11'0" T-2nd
Vertical Jump 40'5" 3rd
Bench Press 32 reps T-8th
40-yard dash 4.41 6th
Well well all that bashing we fans have been giving the other teams about them signing guys we wanted for huge contracts, 49ers just went and did this.
Folks trippin bout the numbers, chill for a minute till we get the particulars.

Maybe its incentive laden with $5k per catch and $5m for being an all pro RB. LOL...never know with Marathe behind the wheel on these contracts. Comes down to guaranteed money anyway as the overall number is just for media fluff.

Exactly! Could be $10mil Gaurav for all We know kw
This team needs a size infusion on another note. I dont see a goaline back or redzone target on the team right now unless its Juice?

Hyde doesn't fit this offense.
