And offensive tackle Trent Williams is fully behind the team\u2019s contract decision at quarterback. However, general manager John Lynch dropped an \u201cembarrassing\u201d admission about the 49ers\u2019 struggles in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Lynch made the comments on the Pat McAfee Show, according to the show\u2019s YouTube page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, that&#8217;s one thing, you talked about it, certainly not our standard, embarrassing what happened last year,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cA lot of reasons for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>49ers GM John Lynch says team can be better<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 49ers suffered injuries last season that contributed to the poor season, Lynch said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInjuries to Christian (McCaffrey) and whatnot,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cBut ultimately, those are just excuses, and we had to own that. And we had to take a hard look and say, where can we be better?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers finished 6-11, putting them dead last in the NFC West. And perhaps the only good thing about that is they could make a worst-to-first run in 2025. Lynch said he believes the players understand what needs to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I knew our players took that to heart was Day 1 of offseason program,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cAnd we had 100% attendance. For something that&#8217;s voluntary. And that spoke to me that our players understood we fell way short of our standard. The work&#8217;s been excellent, and now they got to continue that work away from here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Article Continues BelowAnother thing that bodes well for the 49ers is McCaffrey appears to be ready to roll health-wise. Also, he looks explosive, according to 49erswebzone.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stand back there, where I used to stand\u2014just about 30 yards deeper\u2014and it looks really good to me,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cThat&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll tell you. He looks bouncy; he looks explosive. Christian likes the work. As talented as he is, he&#8217;s a feel player, and he likes to work, and he&#8217;s put in the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBelieve me, he&#8217;s as intense a competitor as I&#8217;ve ever been around. He&#8217;s maniacal in his approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan added that McCaffrey lives with a \u201cready\u201d mindset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristian, he&#8217;s as ready as any player I&#8217;ve ever been around,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cWhen he gets hurt, he&#8217;s got to rehab and get better. Right now, he&#8217;s as healthy as can be. We&#8217;ve got to kind of protect him from himself, but Christian has a good idea of what he needs to do right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s doing a lot less than he normally would do, but I know he&#8217;s excited on how healthy he feels, and the fact that he can get out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Francisco 49ers finished 6-11 last years, and general manager John Lynch dropped an embarrassing admission about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":61163,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[241,9,12],"class_list":["post-61162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-john-lynch","tag-nfl","tag-san-francisco-49ers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
