Reason for optimism?

There is a new report out that the Panthers / Harbaugh conversations were actually heavily driven from the Harbaugh side - and the Panthers decided to look elsewhere.  Full info here:  https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/report-1-nfl-team-turned-down-jim-harbaugh-after-speaking/ar-AA166lrJ?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=49862d5002f4437981dfe329aade457a

 

I'm personally happy that we didn't just cave in to another used car salesman.  Maybe we did learn our lesson.

I may be the only person that really didn't have a strong opinion of hiring Harbaugh one way or another.  Yeah, reports out of the Niners camp had him wearing thin on the locker room, but he also had a lot of help by the two stooges above him (Baalke and York), so it is tough to assess how that would have gone without "hepp."

But, if he wanted what I have seen in terms of money and control, yep, bring on the punter and move on.

What this confirms is that the Panthers job is not seen as the worst of those available/expected to be available.  I know that is a shock to a lot of people, but the Broncos are a mess, the Colts are a little less of a fiasco than the Broncos, and if the Cardinals job comes available it is not exactly a pearl, either.  Houston is, well, Houston.  Let's face it, none of these teams are in the market (along with maybe some others) because their long-time, beloved, successful coach decided to hang 'em up while things were going great.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
