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 Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      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.
