Can you predict offseason activities and overall team health too?

That's above my head. Maybe I'll read yours for illumination. :grovel:

You're probably alluding to those of us that want new management here.

But I recall some prominent Bears' fans on blogs and Twitter--Pace backers-- chortling and ridiculing Lynch / Shanahan last year, working out their angst about the Trubisky trade-up.

Which team looks like it has a brighter future now?
Lynch has drafted 27 players in three years. You could consider two of those players "stars". Nick Bosa and George Kittle.

There's a couple good ones in Deebo Samuel and Mike McGlinchey.

A couple contributors in Fred Warner and Ahkello Witherspoon.

That's it. Solomon Thomas, Reuben Foster, and C.J. Beathard were pretty big misses. To a lesser extent so were Dante Pettis, Jalen Hurd, and Tarvarius Moore.

Not taking anything away from the season the Niners have had... but you are drastically overvaluing what Lynch has done just as badly as you undervalue what Pace has.
I'll quibble with Beathard. He was a third round quarterback who at least looks like a long term competent backup. That can hardly be called a miss.

boy, the asshole who started this thread sure did jump to conclusions. I'm sure what he meant to post was "John Lynch, future hall of fame general manager?!?!?" Currently lobbying Halas Hall to fire Pace and hire, I dunno, Jason Witten I guess.
