Why does all of the national media not give Carolina a chance at Harbaugh?

It seems that everything outside of NC/SC is saying that JH will likely goto 49ers or Broncos. In some Articles, they dont even mention Carolina as having a chance of getting Harbaugh...why is that? My guess is that the national media doesnt want Carolina to have Luck/Harbaugh...My friends who are Dallas/Philly/Steeler/Redskins fans all are giving me crap b/c I think that Harbaugh is coming to Carolina...Freakin drives me nuts!

Because they love their big market teams and can't stand the thought of two huge names like Luck/Harbaugh coming here. The Harbaugh ignoring I can understand - there is at least some evidence that he won't be here, but last night all you heard about Luck is 49ers this, Broncos that, we WE have the #1 pick! Yet not a word about the Panthers getting him.

Because we are small market and they could care less about us.

Yup, we're not "sexy" like the 49ers or the Broncos... as a general rule the national sports media ignores us, so this is no different.

According to Gantt, we've been talking to Harbaugh "for weeks".

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
