This is a great read. It's the transcript from Harbaugh meeting with the San Fran media. Funny how Harbaugh seems annoyed at some of the questions.

On Carolina's defense:

"The linebackers and the defensive line. I think this is the best defensive line we'll play. The linebacking crew is outstanding, great talent, play very hard, and a really smart group, they play well together. The secondary's very physical, cover extremely well. All-in-all this is a formidable defense and we understand the task that's in front of us this week."

On recruiting Luke while at Stanford:

"I thought it went really well. Sat in the home visit in the living room there in Cincinnati with the Kuechly's and felt confident and sure that Luke would be a Stanford man. And walked out of the living room that night feeling pretty darn good about it and got the tragic news the following week that he was going to Boston College."

When Cam was coming out if college, Harbaugh described him as "plutonium grade raw material". What did he mean by that?

"It's just, uniquely talented. My son, Jack Harbaugh, who's now a little over 14 months old, I mean, on the curve he's outside of the 100 percentile now. Above, he's above the 100 percentile. He's big, he's big, growing very well. Yeah, Cam Newton would be further outside the graph. He's in a world by himself. He's tremendously talented."

Lol wut

Overall some good insight from a great football mind. http://www.ninersnation.com/2013/11/6/5074906/jim-harbaugh-transcript-quinton-patton-aldon-smith-cam-newton

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
