Yeah...I'm done! That was the last straw. Incompetence of such a magnitude as to be unthinkable. Can they this really be for real. What drugs are those two on...Or is it that no-one wanted to be GM of this train wreck. For sure it's a train wreck now...

Jed and Paraag strike again.
There will be some shills saying that this is a good hire and we should give him a chance.
Colts got the cream of the crop GM, and we got a guy nobody else even considered as a scout.

Wouldn't rule out the Niners trying to bring in Mark Dominik to backstop the Lynch hire. Dominik worked with both Shanny and Lynch in Tampa.

We have to give Jed and Praage lots of credit for not leaking anything. This sure was a surprise.

Their own history.
They know that Shanahan and Lynch are unfireable for at least four years anyway.
A couple years to learn that's why lol. These guys got no experience at their new job.

Yes
So he was touched by hand of G**. He'll be ok.
Haha. I'm shocked by this hire, but I want to see who else comprises the FO before going apes**t. All-in-all as long as Kyle is HC I'm still stoked.

Not equivalent. Elway ran huge businesses before running the Broncos. He is an excellent businessman and negotiator. What's John Lynch EVER DONE?
He also ran a team before the Broncos

The more I think about it, the more excited I am. The stanford connection has almost never failed us, plus its reported that his number 2 will be a personnel specialist.
I think he has thought about being a GM for a long time and I'm sure he won't f**k it up.

OK, now this would make a LOT of sense. If Lynch is GM, but he has Dominik to run the scouting and Gamble to run the pro player evaluation, then Lynch is more the "big picture" Elway role for sure.
