Choosing Carolina over San Fran?

Trying to look at this objectively. If I were coach Harbaugh and had my choice, wanting to be successful early, I would choose San Francisco. However that just me hedging my bets so to speak. So trying to answer objectively as possible, which would you choose?

My main reason is that a 7-9 team just won the division. I wouldn't have to go against Brees, Ryan and Freeman. Cubbords aren't bare and even though Luck would be gone (possibly), I could still get a pretty decent Cam Newton, or Mallet, etc. I might be able to salvage one of the Smiths. Also I am already in California, won't have to move the family.

Why would you choose Carolina over San Fran? Try to be as objective as possible.

One reason I can think of off the top of my head...from personal level, lower taxes and lower cost of living. My 10 mil/yr would go alot further in NC vs. CA.

I posted this in another thread.

Yeah and another thing, if the money is remotely similar, why in the hell would you go to SanFran with no QB worth a damn. When he could come here and have a kid that he PERSONALLY recruited.

I mean what better way to start your NFL coaching career than with a good organization, YOUR personal recruit and a player that you have called the best player in the country, and a team with talent at key positions, and finally and more recently, the ability to hire your own coaching staff.

Plus, there are rumors that he will tick off a lot of Stanford folks when he leaves.

Ownership is a big one.

Richardson >>>>>>>> Yorks

Despite Fox's bleating about what a cheap franchise we are (and the subsequent media run with it), we're a respected franchise who has never been shy with the checkbook until this one year.

We've also been much more competitive (while in a stronger conference) than the 49ers of late, this being our only truly bad team in a long while.

This. I live in Cali and have a bit of family in NC, and my brother took a job in NC making the same as he did in Cali, but upgraded from a 3 bed 2 1/2 bath townhouse to a 5 bed 4 bath house in NC. Just makes good financial sense.

Who the hell wouldn't choose Carolina over San Fran?

Panthers have the #1 draft pick.

The new CBA will probably be in place before the next season starts. Panthers will probably be like 50m+ under the cap. A new HC will have a field day.

Carolina, has more young talent to work with than the 9ers do, yes, on defense and offense. Especially on offense if you consider what our rookie WRs did to the 49ers earlier in the season.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
