Players want Jim Harbaugh gone?!?

[Russ Smith]

Kaepernick does have a game-breaking receiving target--his name is Vernon Davis, and he's a remarkable two-way player. Kaep's deep-passing stats when Davis is/not available is actually pretty staggering. I think that Barnwell or someone did a write-up on it for Grantland the week of the Cards-49ers game.

The thing with Kaepernick is--and this is what I was thinking watching the game yesterday--he doesn't have any rhythm as a passer. It takes him forever to get rid of the football. Sometimes you'll see guys hang around and wait for a play to develop, but with Kaep it seems like he's not diagnosing a play or looking for a target until he's at the top of his drop.

IMO, the 49ers have one of the best WR corps in the NFL for the next two years. Crabtree, Boldin, and Stevie Johnson are all B+ players or better.



Yeah, maybe. I'm not sure that there's any evidence that playing in a tough division makes you more likely to win the Super Bowl. Seattle, sure, but that may be recency bias. The AFC North wasn't all that nasty two years ago when Baltimore won.

that's a point the local media has been making, Kaepernick makes the improv plays but he is not makign the "designed" ones that are there to be made.

perfect example Crabtree slant wide open for a TD bad throw incomplete. Same drive might even be next play he rolls left and makes an insanely good throw to Johnson for the TD. Completely botches the easy play then has to make an incredible one for the TD. It's MUCH easier if you hit the designed plays that are there.

Baalke should go before Harbucket

Player and the GM...this is a case where the grass isn't always greener.



I agree Harbaugh's antics can be child like, but he is a pretty smart guy with a history of success. I hope he goes to the Raiders, and raises that ship in San Fran's backyard.

Well Dennis Allen just got fired so...

If the players don't want him, then he must be doing something right. Team Prima Donna.

Maybe, maybe not. I remember Anquan having to talk to him and pull him off the field last year in a playoff game to make sure he didn't earn the team a penalty.

He's a great coach, but he's an over-actor.

Seriously, I think Harbaugh would go there because they will pay, they will give personnel control, and he can win in Baalke's backyard.

Why do we have so many threads about harbaugh and his status with players on a cardinals board?

I agree. That is a valid point. We have a "Phoenix Suns" area to post and also an "other NBA talk" section. I really would like to see a "other NFL talk" section added. Just my 2 cents.

How much traffic does other NBA talk get?

 

[football karma]

Baalke/FO and Harbaugh are in the passive aggressive, aggressive aggressive conflict

I suspect that there are a few vets in the locker room that are annoyed with Harbaughs act. The owner is also a little bit of a jock sniffer, so he gets direct stuff from a few guys.

They tried to trade him this offseason, and they know he is leaving when the contract runs out. So -- if you are the GM / owner do you want to see Roman leave this offseason and then Harbaugh the next?

So this is a set up to justify letting him go after the season so they keep Roman

Don't you think "other NFL Talk" will get a lot more talk. I do. This is a football town! I want to hear about the Cardinals in the "Arizona Cardinals" section. Don't you?

I see OT threads here that don't hold much interest to me so I know what you mean but I have mixed feelings about moving them. The sub forums are where threads go to die so if it's a topic that interests me it's a little disappointing to see it relegated to "Other" status.

I'm not a huge fan of Jim Harbaugh as a person but I think he's a terrific HC.

These players must be complete losers, the 49ers were laughing stock of the NFL before Harbaugh took over and turned them into contenders.

I guess they want to go back to being on the same level as the Raiders and having a revolving door at HC.

 

[GatorAZ]

He's just too intense and not in a professional way. If they guy had an ounce of self awareness he could be an all time great coach.

I would have to agree here. I think he's a great coach and I like him and would love it if he were my teams coach. With that said he argues every call to the extreme and seems to lose his temper way too easily. That starts to wear on people especially if winning stops.

Its been an idea to add it, but looking at the Other NBA talk section, it just may not be used much. So you think the Other NFL Talk will be more active due to this forum being more active in the football world then NBA?

Agree with this. At least if it's here there's a chance for someone to drive-by post. If it's relegated somewhere else and takes more clicks to get there there's no chance of that happening.

the players do not want jimmy gone....the players are trying to use their friends in the media to get what they want from him....... we have all seen players want a coach gone.....the RB starts falling down before he gets to the los....passes hit the dirt five yards ahead of the wr...lbers wiff on easy tackles......and the team as a whole loses embarrassingly .....not happening in SF right now....they don't want him gone, just want him to lighten up on the crazy restrictions

It might be a little more active but I doubt it would be much different than all the other "others". If it were me, I might consider starting a monthly OT thread on the Cards forum. Encourage posters to use it for all topics that might be of interest to Cards fans that aren't strictly on topic. If it gets too unwieldy, perhaps a weekly OT thread or just lock it and start a new one when it reaches X amount of posts. Maybe it's a dumb idea, I don't know?

What if we worded the new topic differently than NFL talk to say "Other NFL" or something to that nature??

 

[kerouac9]

I think that if there were more legit Cardinals stories, the off-topic stuff would disappear into the background. Wait for the games to start again. If the board looks this cluttered in Week 12 with OT conversations, then think about taking some action.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting? If you put it in the main form, it will draw posters. If you put it in a sub forum, its corpse will draw flies. Unless you offer popcorn or lots of quality nudity, people simply aren't going to make the extra clicks just to find one thread. JMO.

+1 this is exactly what I was thinking as I read, glad u said it K9 . Next week will be full of threads about how Stanton rules/sux, Bowles should be fired/given a raise, Dockett didn't tweet for 3 minutes straight etc...so no worries to me about OT threads in the Cards board....I actually like em since I'm too lazy to go anywhere else lol

Just keep a 'football' forum. You still can pick and choose what you wish to open or comment upon.
