Why is Scott Baio in the back?

I love the argument that Jed is no longer cheap.

1. A franchise tag would have been close (maybe a 4 million discount?) to what they are paying him yearly anyway. Plus, if they waited another year, it could have been a Kirk Cousins type situation. They went with the market price which was smart.

2. 120 Million in cap space....you better make that deal happen regardless.

3. If you think this is a lot of money (and it is), just wait until February of 2019 when this contract looks modest.

Why does he get credit for this in the first place? It's not like he was the dude who wrote the contract. He said he's staying out of personnel decisions as an owner should. Lynch and whoever wrote the contract should get more credit than Jed.You have a franchise QB and you pay him. it's that simple. Lets see what else happens during free agency before we can remove the "cheap" label. The Yorks will never be truly accepted by 49ers fans for the terrible decisions and leadership shown since their ownership. Yes, they have gotten close to the top. But until they bring the 6th trophy home, they deserve the criticisms they get. And frankly, bay area media is awfully soft on them IMO.

On a scale of 1-10 how much do you think you know about anything you just said?

Wait so he doesn't get credit for make our qb the highest paid player in NFL history per yr, but he does get labeled cheap for not spend all the cap space in previous yrs? Talk about a hypocritical BS comment lol.

If he's not responsible for contracts and where money is allocated, then what makes him cheap to begin with? Dude wanted to make harbs one of the highest paid HC's, but Jim turned down a two yr extension back in 2013. He made that coaching staff overall one of the highest paid coaching staffs in the league as well. He then hired two coaches in two yrs, realized they were bad moves and ate their contracts...if he was cheap jim tomsula would still be our head coach.

The whole jed is cheap is such a old/stale statement. IF you can't give him credit for this deal, then you have no business calling him cheap for not spending money on players previously. IF you want to call him an idiot for putting guys like Baalke in charge and taking him over harbs then that's totally different.

Can't say that I have ever given a lot of thought to Jed York one way or the other but I think a lot of the criticism he gets is based on "fan" emotions and misconceptions. He was pretty young when he took over the team which was a responsibility that his father and mother clearly didn't want. I don't think there has ever been a question about his lacking the desire to win, I mean really what owner of any sports team doesn't want his team to be successful. I just think because of his inexperience he felt he needed to rely on his GM to sort of lead the way. I think Trent Baalke probably talked a good game and made a good impression on him and won his confidence and so Jed probably deferred to his judgement more than perhaps he should have. Winning Executive of the year probably didn't hurt Baalke's standing either and I actually think that Baalke had a pretty good idea in his desire to create and identity for the team, smash mouth football with a tough defense, and hold true to that vision. Unfortunately he proved to be such a poor evaluator of talent that he couldn't keep the team competitive.

I had no real issue with the Tomsula hire, I just think he was in over his head that first year and felt he might have gotten better with more time but he clearly wasn't "the Guy". I never liked the Chip Kelly hire and am glad that experiment only lasted a year and resulted in Baalke being shown the door as well. However, having learned from those missteps finally brought Jed to Shanahan and Lynch. While Lynch was a bit of an unknown quantity I liked the Shanahan hire from the get go. Thought he was a much better choice than McDaniels would have been and liked that he was sort of a legacy hire that could help return the SF offense to some kind of respectability. It feels like they have finally got it right now. While it is still early in the process I think the Lynch/ Shanahan combo is a pretty good one and hopefully they'll be around for a long time

I had an issue with the tomsula hire, especially moving from harbs to him smh. I didn't hate the kelly hire at least he had some success.

Couldn't be happier with who we have at the helm now

I thought this was interesting:

Tim K: Where we you when this team was 0-9, 1-10? Were you concerned about what was going on here?

York: No … I feel like Kyle and John are a very good partnership. And knowing Kyle and knowing how he thinks about football and knowing what his vision is for the team, I felt very good; even when were 0-9, our locker room was a lot tighter than I've seen 49ers locker rooms in the past with much better records than that.

It's a credit to Lynch and Shanahan and the kind of players they put a premium on acquiring. Even Garrett Celek had mentioned previously that he feels this team is closer than the Super Bowl team had been.

Like Prague, I think Jed gets faaar too much criticism. Putting together a winning team is hard, but he did it with Harbs and crew. Not his fault Harbs is an immature baby who can't respect authority. He's now done it a second time imo. Anyone who expected him not to go through a learning curve in the likes of Nolan/Singletary/Tomsula/Kelly isn't being real honest with themselves and are likely allowing their emotions to rule them. We are all guilty of it, but on the subject of York for whatever reason people don't seem to come back to reality and hold on to the opinion that he's a bumbling man child who lucks into any success he has rather than engineers it. I think he really got it right this time and I hope he continues to just sit back and let the dynamic duo continue to run this thing, straight to a parade.

The true hero of the contract negotiation

Yep. Still haven't forgiven him for letting Harbaugh go, but getting Shana Lynch and Jimmy is helping me get over it.

TBH, letting Harbaugh go was a good thing. Dude was going to keep Greg Roman.

Well, as I've stated before, I think Greg and Jim Harbaugh were trying to bring a long ball offense and the GM was at cross purposes in trying to draft for a short passing game. Having said that, I think if Baalke could have drafted better, we'd probably still be watching Jim's tantrums on the sideline and still above .500. But don't get me wrong, I love our situation as it is now with Jimmy, but there was a price to pay as a fan. We had to watch Jim FartSula and Chip Smelly coach these teams since Harbaugh left, and go 0-9 before there was a break in the dark clouds.

I don't think that's fat. I think that's his skin. He's had to develop some thick skin for his mistakes these past couple of seasons.
