Why the 49ers Haven't Announced an Extension for John Lynch Yet

The other thing we haven't discussed is there doesn't seem to be any extension for John Lynch. Now, I want to have things to say about that. I have questions about him as a general manager managing the draft, although Iggy, I think this draft turned out to be pretty good. Stripling, the poor guy, got hurt right away in the running back. Black is very good. So those are two, to me, very good picks. But I want to say something about Lynch. I don't know if he should get an extension or not. There may be better personnel people. I don't know. But I want to come back to something he said. Somebody asked him in a news conference about Jed. What is his thoughts about what happened with Jed and, you know, with the hookers, with the sting. And his response, it's a paraphrase, but it's pretty close, is he didn't discuss Jed. He said the York family has been very good to me. Isn't that pretty much what he said? Might be a direct quote. Okay. And what I'm thinking is it means something different to me now than when he said it. When he said it, I thought he was just avoiding the Jed issue. Now I think he's maybe saying the Yorks are good to me and I hope they continue to be good to me and give me an extension. Right. I mean, it takes on a further meaning. Would you agree with that? A hundred percent. Like, hey guys, all of you, I love you. Don't you like me too? Don't you think I'm a really important part of this operation? But like, like, I mean, they may have extended him, but they may not have the courage to announce it yet. They might want to wait for Kalen Black to have a hundred yard game or Dajon Stribling to come back from his ankle injury or who knows. I see what you, Iggy. They could have extended him already. Absolutely. In fact, I bet they did. I bet they did that. Why wouldn't they not extending him? What would sort of, uh, indicate that they have some type of standard that's built around winning a super bowl? I don't think they do. I don't think they do. I love it. So another meaning when he says the Yorks have been very good to me could mean they already extended me. I love it. I love it. They took care of me. Uh-huh. They won't, they won't say so, but it's okay. I know that they gave me another extension. That's my best guess is they extend both. I love it. I love it. Iggy, there is so much we don't know about this team. They, they operate in the shadows, right? And it's funny. I mean, this whole thing I think is allowing us to re-examine decades of what the 49ers have done. For example, one of the first things Jed ever did was extend Mike Singletary as, uh, not extend him, but promote him from interim head coach to full-blown head coach. You were, you were, you know, working at the time. I was there. And you wrote on the spot, like, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. What is the freaking rush? And you put it on Jed. And you felt like, okay, here's a young man who's excited and he's 27. He's running his team. Now in retrospect, this might just be how that family works, how they do business. I think it's more likely. I don't think Jed had the power. He had to talk to mommy and daddy and they said, Hey, this Singletary, he's the man. He's the man. Yeah. Right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And Iggy, he wasn't the man. Weren't we in the green room one time at the sports NBC sports Bay area and the kicker told us what they thought about Singletary. Oh man. Such a good, such a good story. Tell him what he said. And this was the Singletary had been fired. Yeah. Let's head over to prize picks and make some official projections for the 49ers stars. Brock Purdy, 27 and a half passing touchdowns, more or less. I'm going to say more Debo Samuel 724 and a half receiving yards. I'm going to say less Mike Evans, six and a half receiving touchdowns. I'm going to say more download the prize picks app, new users play five bucks and get 150 in lineups when you win. If you use promo code H M a. So we're in the, we're in the green room and I'll know how we got on this subject. And he was like, all right, here's, here's when we knew we were fucked. This is it. Many, right? Here's what we knew we were fucked. So I guess they had just named him the head coach. He wasn't the interim coach anymore. And they come back for a training camp. And there's always like some team meeting just to kick off the year. And so they're all sitting in their seats and Singletary comes out. And I guess he kind of like struts out cause he's Mike's freaking Singletary, you know, he's strong. And instead of like saying something or looking at people, he grabs a marker and turns to the dry erase board and gives his back to all the, uh, the players and just writes on the board 16 and Oh, and circles it and turns around with his hands across his chest. Just like any questions. And they're like, Oh no, we're fucked. This guy has no clue. Yeah. 16 and football players are smart. They're smart. And they're looking in this guy's a clown, right? We're not going to be 16 and Oh, not even close. In fact, the fact that you think we're going to be 16 and Oh, makes me think we're going to be bad this year. This is completely unrealistic. Who are we? And that really happened. We were, and we looked at each other in the green room, like, Holy ----, right? Holy ----. We got, we got a nude Nick for a leader. And so we bring that up because it shows that the, um, York's don't necessarily have the best judgment and they're quick to leap to a bad decision. And extremely quickly and extending Kyle when they did is a bad decision. I'm not saying extending Kyle is a bad decision. I'm talking about timing. Yeah. He wasn't going to request a trade. He wasn't going to walk away from the team. He was going to keep doing his job with a smile on his face. And he could have made even more money if he waited six months and showed that he could beat Mike McDaniel McDonald. I go back to the Superbowl and win it. He, I mean, he has the team to win the Superbowl this year. If he does that, he, he could be making $20 million. It could have benefited all sides, but the Niners do business this way. Iggy currently constituted. I believe he has the team that can win the Superbowl. I don't mean they will cause there are other good teams, but they have a team capable of winning the Superbowl if healthy. And this if is big, it's capital letters, bold face. It's a big, if it's an, if for every team, but it's, I say even a little, it is a little bit more for the Niners. And again, there's a million factors why, but all we know is even though they went to Australia and kick ass against the team that people thought was the best team in the league, they lost four players for a long time in the process. Two in practice, two defensive linemen, Alfred Collins and Sam Oquano, and then two during the game, Dajon Stripling and Jake Tonjes. So you can't do that every week, even if you're winning because eventually you won't, you know, Iggy for one other thing. They were supposed to have a bad defensive line. They had Stafford in trouble a lot. That defensive line with no names except for Bosa, I thought they were really, really good. Did you? They were. They were. And it's like, is that what you're going to do every week? Or was that what you did against a team that was jet lagged? I'd love to know. Yeah. But if that's what they're going to do every week and this team can win the Superbowl for sure. Absolutely. Yeah.
