Harbaugh + Luck

equals joke of the league...That would mean we went from physical football to making a match made in heaven espn headline. I DONT want Luck, it just feels like Matt Stafford/ Alex Smith. Promote someone from within the organization to coach, fire davidson.

Our personnel/system hasn't produced a playoff win in 5 years.

Stay the course!

You guys should really do just maybe a single fuging once of research before you post.

Stanford sure had a soft program when Toby Gerhart was pounding the rock for them.

Harbaugh runs a system where our backs could excell and Luck would be at home making play action reads.

You mean an upgrade from 70's style football to a real offense?

got it that would be so awful.

Alex Smith, and Stafford to a point, were the number one overall basically be default. There was no one else that was perceived to be an elite prospect at QB at the time, and those two teams desperately needed to draft a QB. It would be similar to drafting Ryan Mallet with the first pick if Luck doesn't come out.

And anyone that thinks promoting from within the organization is a good idea needs to be kicked in head.

For the most part I think the package deal probably is silly. There is, however, probably some merit to believing that their existing relationship would help smooth over the transition period assuming that Luck is our QB of choice on his own (duh?) and that Harbaugh is our coach of choice on his own (matter of opinion - I could go either way on this one but I think he's going to make a good HC for someone). If each is our choice on their own why not be happy that there's a potential benefit to having them both?

For Luck's part he's like any draft pick...any one can bust at any time. Given what we've seen of him though he's probably safer than a lot of the others.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
