The bidding war thing, it's not like they're going to offer a billion dollars.  Most owners in the league can afford to be aggressive in the bidding war.  It's more about not wanting to piss off other owners by driving up the price on coach contracts as well as taking a risk on how long of a contract to offer.  The Gruden fiasco might have made owners shy about offering such long contracts, but Tepper showed with Rhule he doesn't mind sinking a bunch of money just because he offered a long contract.  Glad we have an owner that doesn't stubbornly stick to mistakes, and also isn't so impatient that he cuts bait at the first sign of adversity.

I trust Allbright 100 times out of 100 over Kunkel

I don't trust either, but the Broncos certainly are worse situation, tied to a bad QB for quite a while.  I'd say our QB situation is better just because we have freedom to do whatever he wants at QB rather than being saddled with a bad one that they can't cut.  And even not considering their bad QB situation, their roster isn't nearly as good as ours.  We'd HAVE to be a more attractive situation than Denver.

Comparing the three teams: on paper broncos maybe and I mean maybe have the better roster than the panthers. but they are better than Indy. Panthers have more draft picks than Indy and Denver. Cap space, I’m not sure on. I think indy leads the way on that but after next year we are looking at the most we have ever had. Also, with some cuts and restructures, we are in god shape for this coming season. Looking at all that, to me, we have the edge. It all just depends on where he wants to go. 
 

I’ve heard for a few weeks now Indy is it bc he has ties there and if I’m not mistaken he’s close with Irsay. I live near Indy so all my friends are Colts fans and I’m just saying what they are hearing.

Ben mentioned yesterday that we are more attractive then Denver as well and he’s a Denver media guy.

Broncos want him too and they can outbid all of us plus the teams put together 

Why do some of y'all believe that the billionaire with the most money is the one that's going to win the bidding war? We're talking billions, not even millions, and certainly not thousands, hundreds or tens. This isn't eBay with a bunch of broke folks. All of these owners can win this thing, and it probably won't even come down to a relatively few millions, it will likely come down to other, or at least additional, aspects of the contract. The potential winner of the bidding war could easily win Harbaugh, but lose the battle by grossly overpaying and overvaluing Harbaugh's services while a less expensive candidate actually leads his team to a championship. No one, even if they are loaded, wants to do that. Potential bidders are keenly aware of that possibility, and that's probably what will keep any money offered within the realm of practicality. All of these guys can afford to pay outrageous money, but they don't want to look like fools.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
