    not exactly accurate - are you saying that Harbaugh was a good QB? that was Jim, not John.


    Johnny was ready to be FIRED. I lived in Maryland most of my life and THEN. Biscotti was READY to fire him that season. Flacco was sucking, they made the SWITCH to Lamar mid season and it ALL CHANGED.

    and.....to JOHNS CREDIT - HE CHANGED. Something our dumb coach cannot and won't do. and John will hire GREAT Coordinators. Tomlin won't

    We absolutely passed on him, every team did, he went 32nd. I attended Louisville and followed him in college. On draft night that year I was jumping for joy because he fell to us. I blogged on here that we should take him and all the responses were that we didn’t need another slash, he’s a Mike Vick wanna be etc. Then they took a safety that should have gone in the 3-4th round.

    More than likely could have had Lamar and the safety.

    Hindsight.... Though guys like Lamar haven't been successful until recently (Vick aside). We also had a chance to draft Hurts and took Claypool instead.

    Tomlin would've screwed him up anyways... so it probably a moot point either way.

    I heard some rumblings that we might.. I thought it was too big of a risk. Turns out that it was the best thing we could have done lol

    Uh, I was at the Blue Bottle Saloon in Wichita the night the Steelers didn't draft Lamar and I don't remember you being there to hear my opinion.
