The best do 2 things:
1-Evaluate talent that fits
2-Humbly support/equip HC vision"

For once he's right.
I'd feel so much better if Heath Evans hated Lynch.

All I keep hearing is that hes as smart as anyones ever dealt with in the game, will be the hardest worker in the organization, is a great talent evaluator, will get big respect from the players, and has outstanding business and communication skills.
Hes going to hire personnel guys to help with his lack of experience there, but hes very much qualified to run a FO.
Baalke was a highly respected scout, but he couldn't communicate, and was too stubborn to admit when his personally scouted talent wasnt good. Lynch is the opposite, and will do the actual job of GM, letting the scouting department do their job.
Im really liking the hire after the initial shock of disappointment.
His mock drafts are like April Fools dayOriginally posted by KID9R:http://www.walterfootball.com/coachfirehire.php

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.

Exactly! I have a great friend who played in the league, same position similar career length, pro bowler, All madden, same positions, played on a historic team, engineering degree etc. I've had enough conversations with him to know I'd NEVER want him to be our GM. Playing the game doesn't make one a great talent evaluator.

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