Poor Mitch had a rough go in here. Kyle was upset at Lynch for trading up to get C.J. BeatHard in the 3rd because of the scrutiny it would bring.

Mitch is getting that treatment now for going early in the 4th.

First I've heard of that

That's because your glasses are foggy.

Care to share the source of it?

Good luck finding that. IIRC it was a video. Kyle himself talked about how moving up in the 3rd was a concern for BeatHard; adding more pressure because of the 3rd round stigma vs. 4th round. He wasn't mad at Lynch for moving up but more concerned for his new QB.

I could be dead wrong since I'm going off memory but I could of sworn it was Kyle that actively wanted CJ in the 3rd. Something about Kyle saying he didn't want to go to bed that Friday night not knowing if he would get him or not.

Yes, that's right. Shanahan only wanted BeatHard, so Lynch green lighted going up to get him.
NC's spreading fake news to please the Aussies.

From The MMQB's Peter King:
. . . someone suggested moving from early in the fourth round to late in the third, five spots up, to snare the only quarterback Shanahan wanted in this draft: Iowa's C.J. Beathard. "We'd all sleep a little better if we got him instead of waiting 'til tomorrow," York said.
So they dealt for the 104th pick to choose Beathard, the grandson of former Super Bowl GM Bobby Beathard. "He processes the game so well," Shanahan said. "Tough as s—. Got a chance. He reminds me a lot of Kirk Cousins."
Both Shanahan and general manager John Lynch indicated they thought Beathard would get taken as early as Round 4, so San Francisco moved back into the third round to get Shanahan's guy.

Yeah like I said, Lynch did Kyle a solid by moving up so they could all sleep better. But after that, Kyle in an interview had reservations about it because of the stigma and potentially, added pressure.

Not that shy of this is even a bit important. It's not like Kyle punched Lynch in the face for trying to do what was best for him and give him a peace of mind. LOL

I almost forgot...go Mitch...and our beloved Aussie fans!

For those concerned that there'll be a swamping of know nothing bandwagoners swarming in, breathe easier. Although mitch got some media coverage, he didn't have rabid fan following to start with.

Hayne was considered by some as a superstar by followers of NRL and consequently could do no wrong to the point of delusional belief he'd be showing you lot how it is done.

I think that is the advantage of taking foreign imports through the college system. If they had any following beforehand, with their public profile going quiet because of college, and the college sports profile over here (non existant) means bogans would've got bored and looked elsewhere for their fun.

That said, those of us still here are having fun with this thread all the same

That was quick

Cue the next meltdown

What happened to the other 6 years?

Should have been a lifetime contract

I just hope he is better than Pinion oh God I hated Mr. Shank

Punter getting 4th rounder money, he couldn't wait to sign

What? Not 10 years? I hope they at least fit him for his HOF gold jacket.

Did he sign it with a feathered shank?

Might as well just hand us our Lombardi now too, while they're at it.

Well the good thing about Pinion is all the arguments on why we drafted a Punter are still good. "If we have him for 10 years and if he is as good as we think he is ... what a great pick!". Wasn't a great pick then and ....
