Jim Harbaugh and Toby Gerhart (winning combo)

Clausen would need a way better situation than we could offer him to be successful. So much of his success at Notre Dame was throwing jump balls into obvious mismatches.

Clausen is virtually certain to be one of the first two QBs taken, and I have to imagine he'll go to a team that can offer him more help than we can.

It's really all Bradford, McCoy, and Tebow in the first round (Tebow though is going between the 23rd and 32nd pick, so he probably shouldn't concern us), and then in the second, I'd look at Pike or Lefeveour.
Which Qb in this years draft would give us the best chance to win with our current situation excluding an upgraded Oline?

I like McCluster too, but he's 5-9 170. Chris Johnson is 200lbs. McCluster can flat out fly though.

One offseason in the NFL will give him the weight that he needs. The third that we gave for Jarmon will hurt us though unless we trade down in the first.

Which Qb in this years draft would give us the best chance to win with our current situation excluding an upgraded Oline?I guess Bradford would be the answer, but in all honesty, we'd be better off spending picks on defensive playmakers who could score for us as opposed to someone who would play skittish at best and awful at worst behind this line.

I see no reason to rush on to the next man up though. There's no hurry, and there's a whole lot of rocket-armed passers lined up in 2011. The name of the game is positive change, not desperate attempts at trying to find someone who can be marginally better than Campbell in the future. That's not going to build a winner.

I'll reiterate that we should take a QB if the right guy falls to us. That's something I would have recommended last year as well, even though Campbell was coming off a pretty promising 2008 season. There's no such thing as too many good scheme fits.

Gerhart is solid, but here's another guy who could be a strong mid-round pick for us

I just can't say enough about this too, I hope Danny has been watching because Jim Harbaugh is a hell of a coach and Gerhart is the second coming of Riggins. Mark my words Jim harbaugh will be the next great coach in the NFL if anyone is smart enough to sign him, I hope the Skins do.

Not meaning to piss on your thread but he ran over Notre Dame for crying out loud. They might have the worst defense in the history of Div. 1 football. That was one of the worst displays on tackling I've ever seen. Gerhart is not going to be running over NFL LB's. Let's go get some linemen before we draft a RB. I'd be more than happy with Mason, Cartwright and a speed back. As for Harbaugh I'd say we pass cause he doesn't have any NFL coaching experience. Does he? No more college cocahes!

I can't believe that someone is going to pick this guy in the first or second round to play QB. Amazing.

I guess Oregon, USC and all the other Pac-10 teams Defenses suck too? As for coaching experience, his dad was a Western Kentucky coach, brother is Ravens coach, played in the NFL for many years and tutored players, this guy has winner written all over him. Mark my words, someone will take a chance on him and will be very glad they did.

Coaching career

During his final eight seasons in the NFL (1994-2001), Harbaugh was an NCAA-certified unpaid assistant coach under his father, Jack, at Western Kentucky University. Serving as an offensive consultant, he scouted and recruited high school student-athletes throughout several states including Florida, Indiana and Illinois. He was involved in recruiting 17 players on WKU's 2002 Division I-AA national champion team. His father was a football coach for 18 years, including 14 years as head coach at WKU.

Harbaugh was an assistant coach with the Oakland Raiders in 2002-2003. In 2002 he was an offensive assistant coach, and in 2003 he was the quarterbacks coach.

Prior to the 2004 season, Harbaugh was named head football coach at the University of San Diego. In his first year, he directed the Toreros to an overall mark of 7-4, including 5 straight wins to end the season. The following year, the team improved to 11-1 and won the 2005 Pioneer Football League Championship. In 2006, USD again went 11-1 winning their second consecutive Pioneer League title in the process.

On December 18, 2006, Harbaugh was named the head football coach at Stanford University, replacing Walt Harris. Harbaugh's father, Jack, was Stanford's defensive coordinator from 1980-1981, while Harbaugh attended Palo Alto High School, located directly across the street from Stanford Stadium.[1]

Harbaugh stirred some intra-conference controversy in March 2007, when he was quoted as saying rival-USC coach "Pete Carroll's only got one more year, though. He'll be there one more year. That's what I've heard. I heard it inside the staff." Upon further questions, Harbaugh claimed he had heard it from staff at USC. The comment caused a rebuke from Carroll.[2] At the Pacific 10 Conference media day on July 26, 2007, Harbaugh praised the Trojans, stating "There is no question in my mind that USC is the best team in the country and may be the best team in the history of college football." The declaration, especially in light of his earlier comment, garnered more media attention.[3][4] Later in the season, Stanford defeated #1 USC 24-23 with a touchdown in the final minute. With USC being the favorite by 41 points, it was statistically the greatest upset in college football history. Although Stanford lost to USC in 2008, Harbaugh and the Stanford Cardinal upset USC at home again with a score of 55-21 on November 15 2009. [5] Stanford's 55 points are most ever scored on USC in Trojan history. It was Pete Carroll's first November loss as coach of the Trojans.

In January 2009, Harbaugh was confirmed to have been interviewed by the New York Jets for the head coach position[6], although the job was eventually offered to Rex Ryan[7].

0 fumbles for his career too. Looks like a prospect.

He'll be a NFL coach sooner or later. I'll bet your bottom dollar.
