Yep. Worst and stupidest ownership in the League. Bar None. Even Cleveland is laughing at us now. Pathetic.

See how it plays out before you criticize it. The way they were doing it wasn't working, let's see how this works out.

No idea what you're talking about but a draft board is never made by a single person, scouting is never conducted by a single person even the draft and draft trades are often managed by several executives. Unless your assumption is that Lynch will be the only guy in the 49ers front office, its safe to assume he will have plenty of people assisting in the process.

It would serve Jed/Paraag right if Shanny laughed his butt off and stayed another year in Atlanta

The best do 2 things:

For once he's right.

I'd feel so much better if Heath Evans hated Lynch.

Garcia has got to be kicking himself. If he just begged to be GM he'd have a job.

No he needed to cold call Shanahan not scream about it on twitter.

Heath Evans "Frickin LOVES" this move. He actually said something nice about the 49ers...

Well that settled it. Its a disaster of a move.

Actually, as much as I hate him, he was right about Chip Kelly's flameout.

Even if he gave Jed a lot of money and bought him expensive dinners (not cheap ones) including tips, they weren't gonna invite him to the play house / glory Hole Parties

Because they hired a GM that their new HC could and wanted to work with?

You people are illogical as all f**k. At some point it helps to stop being bitter about everything and just see what happens.

49ers hire GM John Lynch: JED YORK IS THE WORST OWNER OF ALL TIME Grade
The 49ers have hired John Lynch to be their general manager. John Lynch. The color analyst for FOX. The guy who used to play safety for the Broncos and Buccaneers and then went right into the broadcasting booth. The guy with absolutely no scouting or personnel decision-making experience. That John Lynch.

I actually had to check the date to see if it was April Fools' Day. I can't believe this hire. The last time an NFL team brought in a TV analyst to be a general manager, the Lions hired Matt Millen, and we saw how that worked out.

The 49ers interviewed plenty of people who could've done a great job as the general manager. And yet, they failed to bring in any of them, opting for someone completely unqualified for the job instead. Lynch is a smart guy who is obviously very knowledgeable about football, but he's not capable of being an NFL general manager; not without any sort of experience.

This is completely embarrassing. With this hire, Jed York has established himself as the worst owner of all time in any sport. It's quite the accomplishment. York should throw himself a parade and hire more people to tell him how cool he is and what a great job he's doing. That seems to be the only thing he's good at.

He makes the final call. A guy with 0 experience is making the final say. Somebody that knows probably nothing about the players being debated over.

Media personalities becoming GMs has worked out great in the past.

No. If we had a good FO i would feel better about.

No experience + Jedraag = No bueno

Plus a rookie coach needs a GM who know exactly what to do. I doubt a guy with no experience will be able to handle it.

Big risk at a high level position. Decisions like this is why dork will be paying three HC salaries this season.

Either it works out and Jed and Marathe look like geniuses and everyone is kissing their asses or it flops and the team remains in dumpster fire status.

Personally I'm hoping it works out but only time will tell.

Mr too. It is their vision.

You can bet he had his fingers all over this. Lynch called him before he even talked to the 49ers.
