Yes, he absolutely does! I was just remarking on how well thought out his analysis was during the last week of the season. I'm pumped about this hire!!

Does he???

John Lynch is smart, so the fact that he's this bad of a broadcaster means he's lazy. He's says dumb/wrong things all the time

And Ben Muth is?

They didn't care when he was hired. Because he was John "MFer" Elway. Coming in to save the day like he did for them as a player. The 49ers hire is more Matt Millen because he is going to a team he has no connection to, while having no experience.

Elway also had some semblance of fo experience. We just hired a TV analyst who's been out of the game for roughly 10 years.

I would've preferred someone with more experience,but if we are looking to find talent in sure he wouldn't have any problems identifying them. From what I know of Lynch Free Agents won't hesitate to come here.

You can point to Elway but the closer comparison is lukelt Matt Millen. Run Shanny run you don't want any part of this dumpster fire.

By that logic Tomsula had some semblance of head coaching experience.

I havent heard one FA come out and say they want to come to SF and play for Lynch

Why would you? lmao this is the first day anyone heard he was a GM.... Or even back in football.

Most scouts are college players that never made it. He made it and is going to be a hall of famer. I think he can judge if a player can hack it more than an ex college player. All he does is watch football now, and make an analisys.

He can judge what the scouts give him and make defense decisions. Shanahan can take what the scouts give him and make offense decisions.

He knows more about championship culture than anyone we have
you guys can be scared. I'm shocked but more excited than scared.

Who gives a F what Ben has to say? You?

I'll take the world of a Football Outsiders guy who at the time had no idea he would be an NFL GM, was just making a comment on his broadcasting.

Awww, the GM that's not really a GM that Jedaraag can still control.

Brilliant

Indeed, it appears this way. All the interviews seem to be wall paper for the outcome that Jed & Pre wanted all along. Those two and their power structure remain the same. Hopefully this portends a separation of powers between them and the new GM/Coach tandem.

#49ers ass't GM Tom Gamble capable of running the draft, but 49ers likely to add someone else w/ FO experience. Nothing imminent, I'm told.

Wait so Lynch wont be running the draft?

Shanahan will be. Lol. You know this, man

This draft will be an extension of baalke and gamble unless shanny has been moonlighting as a scout this past year.

Dumpster fire?

You can always go be a Raiders fan, not only are they winning but there's a strong possibility they become the Las Vegas Raiders. No one is holding you back, peace out.

f**k it let's ride.
