Talked to John Lynch a few times last year. Extremely smart dude, wide range of FB knowledge. Intrigued to see how he he does as a GM.

Incredible. Former Bronco John Lynch is 49ers new GM, per reports. Lynch close to Mike Shanahan/John Elway/Peyton Manning. #9sports

John Lynch can lead an organization and build an impressive front office of scouts and evaluators in exactly the same way Elway has.

Got to hand it to 49ers. John Lynch-Kyle Shanahan is a major splash. Instantly most exciting GM-Head coach duo in NFL. #9sports
