Takeaways from the Shanahan/Lynch presser: There’s a risk any season you go into without a top-five QB

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan just finished up their media availability and spoke for a little under 45 minutes. As one might expect, the conversation centered around the quarterback position. I think we might have gotten three questions that weren’t centered around QB.

Lynch does a great job of mentioning the other names involved in the Niners' front office. When discussing the free agents the team retained, Lynch named dropped a handful of people from Paraag Marathe to Brian Hampton to even Denise York. It may not seem like much, but the folks working behind the scenes rarely get the credit they deserve, so it’s nice for the GM to give each person a shoutout.
