It's odd: If Peyton Manning was named the GM of the 49ers, people on CP would have the opposite response.

But because it's Lynch, who's obviously qualified and NOT a "figurehead", the decision is derided.

It doesn't make any sense and it certainly doesn't make any sense for Lynch to be a puppet for the next half decade when he was earning plenty from Fox.

I don't like any person who was once a Bronco. He was okay when he was a Buccaneer, but that's the best I can say.

People should have seen this coming. They interviewed ESPN analyst Louis Riddick a few weeks ago.

The 49ers are a more embarrassing franchise than the Browns right now. Can't believe it

Glad Elway has another ally in the NFL decision maker world.

Is their a more toxic NFL team?

How does he feel about candy wrappers?

ROFL at the signing and anyone spinning this

I wouldn't have faith in Manning as a GM either.

He may do as well as Matt Millen.

The last Stanford GM took his team to two Super Bowls in four years and won in 2015.

But sure, John Lynch is going to flame out like Ryan Grigson.

:facepalm:

I don't know if anyone can overcome that ownership.

****, I would.

No former player studied the NFL like Peyton, outside of Elway.

Manning would be a great hire

At this rate Trent Green will be our next GM

As usual, dumb as ****
