If you want Luck, Harbaugh is the key

If he pulls that one off, I'd root for his failure hardcore.

Me too (obviously) :lol:

I don't know that Harbaugh is looking to be the highest paid coach in the NFL, but I do think he's looking for an above average salary.

Can't honestly blame him. Any of us probably would too if we were in his spot.

My personal hope: Jerry opens the wallet for both Harbaugh and Luck.

(doubt I'm alone on that front)

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.

I'd expect most kids think that. Right up to the point their Coach or Agent tells them you're the number 1 pick in the NFL Draft and you need to go.

Aaahhh, but if he goes to another NFL team, Luck could always pull an Elway/Manning maneuver and say he won't play for any team but whomever has Harbaugh.

If the Panthers could get Phillip Rivers, a 1st round pick, a 3rd round pick and a 5th for Luck I'd be all for it. I don't see a QB the quality of Rivers in the draft after Luck however.

If he pulls that one off, I'd root for his failure hardcore.

Fine, but I'd take Rivers over Eli any day. Not to mention the 1st, 3rd and 5th that came along with him.

Would Harbaugh want to much $$$, thus playing him and Luck right out of Jerry's pocket? God, I hope not. For this to work, Harbaugh has to be flexible.

In reality Harbaugh has absolutley nothing to do whith Andrew Luck receiving a contract somewhere around 6yrs, 80 million if he comes out for the 2011 draft.

Specualtion that Harbaugh controls him somehow is purely bullshit.

This is a pretty simple fix.

Hire a GM who will hire Harbaugh with a lot of money and then he will select Andrew Luck. Who was the more important piece to the puzzle, Peyton Manning or Tony Dungy? Tom Brady or Bill Bellichick? Ben Roethlisberger or Bill Cowher? Drew Brees or Sean Peyton? I mean if you give me a choice to have any of those QBs or any of those coaches I am taking the QB every time. He is the one making plays.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
