ESPN doesn't want Harbaugh in Carolina.

That much is readily apparent. Fact is he may very well not even be on the Panthers' short list - neither the fans or ESPN's "insiders" have a clue. But to automatically discount the chance is foolish. Carolina does not have a long enough history or enough coaching changes to have a tendency they can reference and to claim that our ownership is cheap based on one year when history shows they will write a check when they feel it's appropriate is simply silly.

This. As Gantt said, Harbaugh is the 'belle of the ball' right now, and who wants to see her go home with Carolina? lol... not the nat'l media.

I'm trying not to buy into the hype and get my hopes up, but I'm really starting to connect some dots here... Think about this, we're the only organization whose owner Harbaugh is actually familiar with to my knowledge, even before all this "JR is cheap" talk. By familiar, I mean that he actually worked for recently. We were the last team that employed him as a player, so he knows JR. Only organization he worked for after that is the Raiders.

So, in my mind, that gives us a leg up on the other teams pursuing him - familiarity.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
