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!!!

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
