Why does everyone think harbaugh is going to be so great? Or Luck for that matter. A lot of great college coaches and QB's just can't up their game in the NFL. Think about Saban and Spurrier/and counless great college QB's. Its a 50/50 gamble with both of them.

I will take 50/50 over 0/100 with Clausen

I'm not defending Clausen by no means, I think we definitely need someone else at QB. But some people on here act like luck is the second coming of brady or something. There has just been too many heisman winners and supposedly great college QB's that suck. If I had my way we would get a proven vet QB through free agency. McNabb would be my first choice.

McNabb is a bandaid.

Agree and there is a certain amount of risk with ANY coach you hire and ANY QB you draft, that's just the nature of the game but it's the kind of risk you have to be willing to take if you want to be great. There is also a well-documented risk in assuming that a established NFL coach or a vet QB who had success in one setting can reproduce that success in another setting.

My desire to get Harbaugh is 2-fold:

1. I think he has the potential to be a great NFL head coach based on everything I've seen, heard and read about him. He's not Steve Spurrier, he played and coached in the NFL until as recently as 2004 (Spurrier was away from the NFL for a LONG time) and he's suceeded at Stanford while running a true pro-style offense (not some gimmick "fun n' gun" offense that is totally dependant on having much better athletes than your opponent).

2. Hiring Harbaugh would almost certainly deliver Luck to us and I think Luck has the potential to be a franchise QB based on everything I've seen, heard and read about him.

The only thing he's proven is that outside of Philly he's average at best and on the downside of his career.

I'll pass.

Matter of opinion I guess. We could get Luck and get someone like Matt Ryan who steps in and does great. Or we could get David Carr. Hence it's a 50/50 gamble. All draft picks are I guess.
