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.

    • The reason I hate the Sadiq link to us is as follows: -Shallow starting LT draft. We've got to sh1t or get off the pot.  If we don't get a first round LT, it's a wasted pick to slow roll a developmental type later in the draft. -WRs might drop.  If a legit WR drops to #19, why would we pass them up?  -McNeil-Warren or Thienemen: We have got to upgrade safety. -Slot CB. We could upgrade over Smith Wade. -Better production TEs later in the draft. .
    • Kittle, McBride (actually had one great year), Kraft, Loveland, Kelce, LaPorta would all have to be exceptions which is now making the high production guys more of the exception.  Look at Warren's stats before that final year he was featured in his offense.  A fraction of the yards and 2 TDs over 3 years.  That is my case and point.  They featured this talented TE his senior year and his stats were amazing.  TE's college receiving stats are tough to translate in the NFL.
    • I don't understand where this idea of Smith-Wade being an effective safety came from. I am all for adding a CB in the draft, but I want no part of Smith-Wade being anything more than a depth safety at best if we move him to safety. At the end of the day, Smith-Wade is a JAG, whether its at nickel or safety
