Can we PLEASE get Harbaugh and Luck? PLEASE!?! | Page 2

I am aware that this isn't anything particularly new, but I've been spending the past few days looking for a new QB in the college ranks. I've been downloading Stanford (Andrew Luck), Auburn (Cam Newton), Arkansas (Ryan Mallet), and Washington (Jake Locker) games. So far, I've only watched a few of the Stanford games, but I can't think of a better match than the 49ers and Harbaugh/Luck. Harbaugh runs a West Coast Offense with multiple TEs (sometimes as many as 3) and a POWER running O. His lines are HUGE and mobile. They also run a number of WR and TE screens. Any of that sound like it fits our personel? Harbaugh would have the mammoth line in place, he'd have all of the TEs he needs, and he'd have at least one WR who ran all sorts of WR screen in college. The Luck part is the hard part. The guy looks like Peyton Manning with mobility. He likely won't pan out to be that good, but the guy simply looks fantastic. I am almost NEVER a fan of trading up. I think it const too much and seldom pans out. This is the exception. I say trade the farm for him if necessary. Do whatever it takes to get this guy. He wouldn't have to learn the O because he's already running it so his learning curve would be shorter. He'd still have to adapt to the speed of the game, but not having to start from scratch would be a HUGE advantage. Like I said before, none of this is new and has been mentioned before, but after watching just a few games (and I'll be watching more) I can't think of a better fit for either the 49ers or for Jim Harbaugh. So Jed....back up the Brinks truck on Harbaughs front lawn and trade all that they ask to get Andrew Luck.

Luck, yes. Every expert has agreed that he has every too to succeed in the nfl, more so than even Bradford. I am starving for an elite qb, and this guy will be one. Trade up at all cost to acquire him.

Harbaugh, no. It is time we got a coach that is tried and true at the NFL level. If rumors are true about Holmgren, he'd be first choice as we need a gm also. Gruden would be great if Holmgren wouldn't come. Billick would be third choice.

He looks like Matt Ryan. And Ryan managed to pull a franchise around completely in one year.

We have the pieces. I actually believe that our talent level is above average for NFL teams. But we have had strings of awful football minds pulling the strings for years. Fix the coaching, then they can determine what to do.

(Mike Smith has a lot to do with Matt Ryan's success)
