And the Winner of the 49'ers GM Sweepstakes is John Lynch?

Salute: Pro Football Talk

Lynch, 45, has been working as a game analyst for FOX and has no front-office experience. 

What this means is that he's a figurehead and the real powers of a traditional General Manager are vested in someone else.  There is no way on this green earth that John Lynch just becomes somebody's GM with full powers and authority as his peers with no prior front office experience.

Not even the currently moribund 49'ers are capable of that.

I think.
