Sorry. I don't buy the idea that Harbaugh really wanted him. If he did, he didn't pay much attention to scouting reports and game film. I believe this was a Baalke pick, not a Harbaugh pick.
I've said this before, it could be Rathman holding LMJ back. It's plausible that Harbs wanted LMJ but once in the pros, he hasn't come along well. If the RB coach is trusted, and LMJ isn't "good"...Harbs may be going off of Rathmans suggestion to not play him.
