JR never denied that Harbaugh COULD be considered in the "process".

Not really.

I don't believe we'll get him, but I think you're reading too much into it.

I am not convinced that Gantt was wrong.

Neither am I.

If they came out and said that they had talked to Harbaugh, given the timeline, it would be an admission of tampering.

Worth noting that the Panthers willingly tampered to get Dom Capers (lost a compensatory third rounder because of it).

And for those who remember the 2006 Midnight Vigil, how many believe those contracts for Hartwig and Kemoeatu were written between midnight and 1am?

Honestly, JR didn't sound like someone trying to cover up the activities of an organization, he sounded like someone who had never even heard or considered Jim Harbaugh... either that or he is trying to strengthen their bargaining position by making Harbaugh have to be the one to make the concessions.

I honestly am taking it at face value; Hurney & JR haven't talked to Harbaugh, JR has no idea about him. That does not mean Morrison or someone hasn't talked to Harbaugh but today really put me off the idea he'd be coming to Carolina.

Except of course there are no rules as far as NFL teams talking to college coaches during the football season.

I was fairly certain that was the case too. Wouldn't be any different than another college poaching some coach right before their bowl game, which happens all the time.

Actually, there are. They can't go outside the organization during the season. That's why you always see "interim" head coaches, and also why you've had no official reports of anyone talking to Harbaugh before now.

If they allowed for teams to go outside, teams could just fire their head coach with a few weeks left in the season in order to get a "jump start" on the rest of the league. More than one team did fire their head coach this season. Do you have any reports of them talking to anyone - college or pro - prior to now?

What was John Elway representing the Broncos doing at the Orange Bowl game last night then? It could still technically be called "in the season". And it was pretty much common knowledge that Elway was sent there to sweet talk Harbaugh into coming to Denver.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
