IMO, beating one of AFCW opponents is good, but not a solid measure of AP’s effectiveness, even the Chiefs, because we always seem to play the Chiefs tough. It’s the unfamiliar opponents, like the Dolphins, that will impress me. I still think, no matter what AP does, unless he makes a good playoff run, that Mark will at least attempt to do this the right way. The funny thing is, if AOC ends being a serviceable starter, the former regime may have had a pretty good draft this year.

We used to say the Niners crowd was the Brie and Chardonnay crowd. Back when both games were on, and you could only watch one, the Raiders were on.

I personally believe Harbaugh is actually the perfect person, in ALL of football, to change the culture. Again, just my opinion.

Don’t know if anyone else saw Hindi’s top 5 list, but Jon Gruden was number 2. He said that A: The NFL may let Gruden come back because Gruden knows where the bodies are buried and could potentially get Goodell fired and B: Mark still LOVES Gruden. How about a situation where Gru comes back but has a separate, independent, with 50-50 control over personnel decisions?

I agree. Hopefully, if Harbaugh interviews, he’s open to having a GM that’s independent, has as much say as him when it comes to personnel decisions, but who is on the same page and pulling in the same direction. That’s really what is important.

Go ahead and put the whiners in the hate category
