rams80 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Jake Locker in a Sam Bradford like situation.Except Bradford made money by waiting (and letting the NFL's broken rookie scale do its thing) and Locker's going to go in the 3rd Round.So, no, its not like Bradford's situation at all.

dfwabel Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Does anyone else think that the fact that Luck is staying for another year might be a strong indication that Harbaugh isn't going anywhere either? All these interviews and speculation could be nothing more than a money grab by Jim Harbaugh. Stanford has never been bigger on the college football scene. Maybe Jim Harbaugh is using all this to get NFL money out of a college job. Who could blame him? He's got it made at Stanford. I could be wrong but I think if Harbaugh were really headed elsehwere, there's just no way Luck comes back for another season. Why would he come back to play for a different coach and risk having a bad season while learning a new system etc? Especially when it could hurt his NFL "stock?" I just think there's no way Andrew Luck leaves a guarantee of millions of dollars on the table to play for some new coach. Something ain't adding up here. Just a thought.Maybe Luck just likes going to college.That is true, but Luck can afford to remain in college. His family is well off and there is not the immediate need to assist them unlike many others. He is more in the position which the Mannings and Grant Hill were in to decide to come back for another/final season. I have no idea if the NFL is Luck's dream as a career, but I do know that with is major and his grades that he will have a pretty nice life if he did not even play the game.

Don't know if Stanford is a leading school for that but I do have some experience with the area. My ex- was a nurse at an office right on the edge of Stanford's campus and Palo Alto is awesome.

Everyone thought Bradford wouldn't go number 1 last season, but Jake Locker decided to stay.While Bradford got hurt (again), he hadn't played incredibly poorly on the field when it counted during his abbreviated final college season. Locker embarrassed himself severely against the top flight competition on his schedule, especially on national television en route to a 7-6 season. (1st Nebraska game, Stanford game, UCLA game, even though they won the Holiday Bowl he didn't do so hot in that game either.)Scouts may give you the benefit of the doubt with injuries. They won't with consistently craptacular performances in clutch situations on the field./Actually, looking at it again, 3rd Round seems kind of generous.

BlueSky Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If they can get Harbaugh to play QB, the Niners should be an eight-win team!Hey, baseball managers wear unis, maybe he can at least be the backup and stand over there in his headset wearing #4.It's been done before, at least with assistants. Most recently in...this surprised me...2003, when Broncos CB Jimmy Spencer doubled as an assistant coach. Before him, the last to do it was Coach/RB Dan Reeves with the Cowboys.George Halas at one point was the Bears' head coach, GM, ticket sales manager...and played on both offense and defense.

Unocal Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm not sold on the Ravens. Since their Super Bowl win back in 2000, other than the Chargers, Baltimore has been the biggest tease in the AFC. Everyone hypes them as an AFC Super Bowl threat- can't get there.John Harbaugh is in the early stages of becoming Norv Turner-esque- can't get it done in January.

jkrdevil Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not surprising. It is an obvious move for both sides. 49ers need a young good coach they can sell to their fanbase, and Harbaugh gets a promotion to the NFL and doesn't even have to move.

Lights Out Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Now espn's going crazy on how the 49ers are loaded.Except they're not. Their starting quarterback spot is a carousel of Troy and Alex Smith, and they have basically no chance at Andrew Luck. Awful starting quarterback(s) = you won't win in the NFL = your team's not "loaded." POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Pending lockout, we won't have to wait long for the Harbaugh Brothers Bowl (a storyline that will no doubt be driven deep into the ground before they even kickoff). The AFC North plays the NFC West next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
