That feeling when you realize you'll no longer have to listen to listen to every single dumb*** thought that enters and rattles around in Lynch's empty head during game broadcasts...

With a halfway competent owner, sure. But with Kim Jong York running things over there, I don't know if it's the best spot for a first time GM...John Lynch is extremely intelligent, hard working, and well composed. The man is a pro at everything he does. If he is given time he could be very good.
The Rooney's hiring philosophy is to hire the smartest guy you can find and give him time to figure it out. The 49ers are halfway there.

Kind of like John Elway.
How'd that work out?
I really don't get why people don't remember this.Elway has owned, managed, and had his hand in numerous businesses operations for years since retiring from the NFL. More importantly, he was the co owner of an Arena League football team in Colorado for a handful of years before joining the Broncos. He also spent time in the AFL's Exec Committee. Furthermore, he didn't start off as the Broncos GM. He spent a year in a different position, (not sure of the title) because he wanted to learn the ropes before stepping into that position. He had a ton of qualifications and experience for that job, and there's a reason it took so long, despite his success, to gain his current position. So no, kind of not like John Elway.

The 49ers are far removed from the Montana and Young days.
It makes me happy.

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.
