If you want Luck, Harbaugh is the key

The statements made by Jim Harbaugh today about Andrew Luck preferring to stay in school could very easily be taken at face value.

But if you wanna wrap your tinfoil hat on, they could also be taken as a subtle opening volley in contract negotiations.

"Want my quarterback?" Harbaugh says, "Then pay me to be your head coach" :sosp:

I doubt anyone would dispute that the chances of Andrew Luck coming out for the NFL Draft go way up if his head coach bolts for the pros.

So getting Luck as your franchise Qb could very well be predicated on your being willing to spring for his coach.

Granted, this could be a reach, but when you think about it, doesn't really seem all that far-fetched.

The question becomes whether or not the Panthers would be willing to do it.

Do anything in their power to get LUCK. We have the chance to get a prospect "elite" QB!. We need him now!!!. If we do not draft him, i would have to strongly consider switching teams. Besides, i think JR would have to draft him. As much screwing he did with our fanbase this season, he would have no choice.....

What were the statements?

I always thought our best shot at getting both or either....was us getting both via the # 1 pick this year. Panthers are a good organization for a coach to work for. Harbaugh with the chance to come here with his QB.......got to be an opportunity hard to pass up.

I'm sorry but I just have a difficult time believing a quarterback is going pass up a chance to enter the pros when it's a pretty well known thing that there will be a rookie salary cap in place by next year. He'd be giving up something like $30+++ million dollars if he chose to stay.

Second-hand stuff from Peter King. Stated that Harbaugh believes Luck has always planned to stay in school but believes he will make the decision after the bowl game.

Let's be honest here. If Harbaugh wants to play poker here, he's holding the cards.

I also think the "Michigan" possibility is ploy for Harbaugh. I wouldn't be shocked for us to land both.

I don't know much about Harbaugh as I haven't seen a single Stanford game (will be watching the bowl game) but would assume he'd be an offensive minded coach so would Harbaugh be inclined or at least consider keeping Meeks on staff? I like Meeks and think this long term plan for this young defense is working. We just need a high profile, first round quality DT in the 2012 draft (assuming we take Luck and have no 2nd round pick in this draft.)

WOW! THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXCITING OFF SEASON!!!

      Rookie Jersey Numbers

      It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit

      T-Mac or Nalo

      T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
