Jim Harbaugh could be Carolina Panthers' real deal

Harbaugh: "I think you play as long as you can, and then you coach, and then you die."

"Harbaugh also bows to no one, which former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly might remember. In 1997, while still a player, Harbaugh took a swing at Kelly after Kelly had questioned Harbaugh's toughness in a TV broadcast."

This is actually a decent article if you want to know a little more about Harbaugh.

Quote I liked...

Said Oliver Luck, the father of star quarterback Andrew and a former NFL quarterback himself: "In the parents' section, I sit there with heart surgeons, partners in major law firms - these kids are mostly from affluent families.

"And yet Jim has convinced these kids they are a lunch-pail, unionized, when-in-doubt-hit-somebody kind of team. Prior to Jim, Stanford was considered soft. Now those players smack you in the face. And that's all Jim."

Quote I loved...

Said Harbaugh: "I enjoy being out on the field and having your fingers right in the pie. I enjoy the feeling that gives you. You feel like you're walking out on a ledge: 'What the heck are we doing this to ourselves for?

Gannt seems sure that Harbaugh is in the consideration despite Schefter and every other national media talking head....I'm going with Darin on this one....

daringantt‎ They have, despite reports. RT @TedtheThird Why is all the Harbaugh talked centered on SF? You would think Car would give a look.

You're right, Darin Gantt is a much more highly respected football writer for the local Charlotte or Gastonia paper than Adam Schefter is a national NFL writer. Gantt has better sources and has open doors everywhere around the league while Schefter is some hack trying to eek out a living behind a typewriter.

Could both be right. Gantt one would think has good sources in the Panther HQ. So Gantt's assertion that the Panthers are interested could be true. Schefter could have sources close to Harbaugh saying he isn't interested in Charlotte and also be correct. Either Gantt or Schefter could also be getting smokescreens from people inside JR's secret lair.

national writers also have a lot more to cover so they don't know as much as a local guy.

I wouldn't underestimate the credibility of the writer that has covered the panthers and only the panthers for years.

Doesn't mean Gantt is the better journalist but I'm positive he's going to have the scoop better than most.

You could take a 3 star chef and he couldn't make BBQ as good as a 50 year old pit master.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
