McKinnon torn ACL, Brieda in 2018 was a walking bandaid. There's nothing wrong with a 3 RB committee which the Patriots showed and I'm sure Shanny can make use of him like he did so well in ATL.

49ersfan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Kinda out of left field for me, but i can see us liking this a lot during the season, if we can effectively utilize a 3 headed monster at RB (McKinnon, Breida, Coleman). I'm a fan of more weapons and Shanny has experience with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paraag negotiates the contracts from what I understand but ultimately it’s up to John Lynch how high we are willing to go and how important a player is to this team.

So is it really fair to pin the hefty contracts on Lynch if Paraag and Shanny have an obvious influence on it? I agree with what @Gore Whore 21 said that Lynch sets the bar and gives the final nod, but still. I like this regime a lot more than the Baalke regime.

It's actually funny...I never terribly minded Baalke's free agency approach, particularly in the early going. He was constrained in a manner which we aren't now, so he had to be more judicious, and I thought he made appropriate risks and made some decent signings (until the team completely flatlined - the year he only got Zane Beadles in free agency was horrific). But he couldn't draft at all. Here, I'm liking the drafts...not liking the FA approach too much (though I think the trades have both been good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans feel that a GM should open his wallet and trust his guys to do what is best. Some GMs take a more direct interest in making specific decisions. I get the sense that Lynch falls somewhere in between. He respects his guys, but probably steps in when he doesn't care for something. At the end of the day, my pure guess is.. yes.. Lynch does have to shoulder much of the choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are just referring to the type of ppl he is bringing in I get the criticism of the Alexander contract, because quite frankly, it deserves to be criticized. It's a bit on the insane side. And most people have called us out on that. But it's a little hard to take this article seriously when this is in the first real paragraph: Quote The 49ers followed that move by adding to a position of strength when Lynch agreed to a trade a 2020 second-round draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for Dee Ford, according to The MMQB's Albert Breer. Adding to a position of strength? Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Lynch is still new to the GM position relatively, so I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the back seat more than often and lets the other guys get more input in like you said. We'll never truly know unless we're in there with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4L Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The main problem I have with this signing is that he is basically taking breidas spot. I mean, we know mostert will be active for STs. Then McKinnon probably will too. We aren't going to have 5 running backs active including juice. You only get 46 active guys Breida earned a role on this offense last year. I just don't get this move unless we plan on trading breida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
