NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

Schefter is reporting SF is hiring Hall-of-Fame candidate and FOX analyst John Lynch as GM, sources tell ESPN. Lynch back to Bay Area, where he went to Stanford.

This should be interesting

No. Shanahan and Lynch are going to have LOOOOOOONG leashes.

They will be there till at least 2020, barring consecutive disastrous seasons similar to this past year. There is no way they make another leadership change after trying 4 guys in 4 years. Niners are probably the least talented team in the league. Baalke squandered a ton of fucking draft picks, taking fliers on injury cases that never worked out. He found a few decent players no doubt, but the cupboard is bare, and Shanahan isnt going to have shit to work with.

He has Devonta Freeman, Julio Jones, and the potential league MVP at QB. Now he is going to have a question mark at QB, and El Guapo and Torrey Smith as his biggest offensive weapons. Lynch better turn out to be the next Bill Walsh because he is going to have to hit on a ton of draft picks to get this team back to any sort of relevance.

Well that sucks. Bucs fan my whole life so it was nice to see John Lynch on TV every now and then in the broadcast gig. Now I'll just have to read about the continued shitty performance of the 49ers organization, unless him and Shanahan can turn it around.

Shit, I thought it was always a SB rematch. I guess that's not set in stone though. The patriots can host if atlanta's new stadium isn't ready or has some kind of conflict with the international booger flicker's convention.

Schedules don't always allow for a Super Bowl rematch, however next year the NFC South and AFC East play it each so it's entirely possible they could make it the opening matchup. Kind of like how this year the NFC South and AFC West played each other so we were able to get the Broncos/Panthers matchup.

Matchups are out but the dates are not. If you know how the scheduling works (this isn't directed at you Uber, just in general) then you know who's going to play who the next season the instant the regular season standings are finalized. I'd bet on a rematch in Foxboro which helps the Falcons (kinda) since that'll be one less cold weather game they'd have to deal with. They also have @CHI and @NYJ so it's just a timing thing. Bucs have @GB and @BUF so they better hope to baby jesus those games are early in the schedule.

You don't know who John Lynch is? He was an anomaly as a white boy playing safety, and playing it well! Known for his big hits while playing for Tampa Bay and Denver.

Archuleta played around the time as Lynch as well. Basically same MO as Lynch.

Lynch was also considered a dirty player as well, great safety but shitty human on the football field.

Ive never heard that? He obviously relished blowing motherfuckers up, but your making him sound like Suh or something. Every nasty defender has a mean streak, give me a break.

Pats' Harrison can't wash hands of dirtiest player label

Don't care what you remember, he was considered a dirty player by his peers.

Looks like the Vegas deal is all but dead in the water for Oakland. Maybe San Antonio will be back on the table next.

Too lazy to look it up, but any reason why?
