Like Elway, he graduated from Stanford and is a smart guy.

The Carolina Panthers hired a sportwriter in Marty Hurney, who led them to a Super Bowl.
Elway also held several FO jobs and owned a team.

Good lord, you guys overrate running a scouting department and hiring scouts.

Each and every year, going back at least a decade, Chiefs fans have churned out considerably better "mock drafts" than the "professionals.

Lynch wasn't hired as a CPA or lawyer or genetic scientist. He wasn't hired as a criminologist or as the CEO of NASA.

He's the GM of a ****ing football team.

He's a lucky bastard.

So....Chiefs fans are equally qualified to be a general manager as people who spend years in the front office of an NFL team?

Nobody cares if teh Niners suck, but let's be honest, this guy just isn't qualified. Maybe he'll do well, but it'd be shocking as hell. He's never done ANY of this stuff before.

I mean, seriously -- they basically just picked a random good former NFL player and put him in charge of their football operations, and that seems perfectly ok with you?

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 would be surprised if PFM were hired as a GM right now, and I would view it as a considerable risk. Not necessarily a bad risk, but it would be a risky move. I think PFM needs some executive experience at a lower level before being an NFL GM. I don't know what experience Lynch has that makes him a worthy hire for the 9ers. Lynch is a smart guy, but he's not PFM smart, so maybe Lynch has been doing executive stuff on the down low that I am unaware of?

It's ****ing football. The guy has spent his entire life in football.

Good grief. He hasn't been hired to design the first hyperspace craft.

He has never managed people, never disciplined or fired someone, never built a workplace culture. He has to do a lot more than drafting guys.

Matt Millen failed because he was learning a lot of these small things right away and made simple mistakes experienced GMs wouldn't make. Hell, time and time and time again ultra-experienced personnel guys like Pioli, Savage, Farmer, and Kokinos fail and fail hard. It's not an easy job. I'm sure he'll do fine drafting players. But how will he negotiate a trade deal, how will he discipline players and coaches, how will he respond to a PR crisis. It would be different if you're pairing him with Andy Reid or Bellichick. But he's paired with a head coach who's too raw to have all the answers himself.

It worked when they did it with Mike Singletary.

Oh, wait. It didn't work at all.
