Re: Jay Glazer: Harbaugh helped Cameron hang on for as long he could until he was finally let go
No doubt, McNair picked the worst game ever to shit the bed, but overall they were 12 in scoring that year.
Yeah, I don't like being right about this, I really had hoped that I was going to be wrong, but I saw long ago the man fell short. If all things are equal in the playoffs, luck, injuries, skill, athleticism, and it comes down to head coach, there is only one question: so about the draft...

I haven't been a fan of Harbaugh since he was hired. Let's be honest. What does he bring to this team? Would he be a major loss? He's not an x's and o's guy. He isn't much of a game manager. He doesn't seem to be much of a motivator. He isn't much of a talent evaluator. He's not even good at surrounding himself with good assistants. If we find someone that is good at just one of those things then we have made an improvement.

Re: Jay Glazer: Harbaugh helped Cameron hang on for as long he could until he was finally let go
It's never all coach or all players when a team struggles. But For me, it's always mostly about the players. Coaches put you over the top maybe, but even Vince F'n Lombardi couldn't get the 2012 Raiders to the promised land.
There are deep problems with the talent level of this team. And honestly, that's how the NFL is designed--to punish teams that continue to win.
There is simply a dearth of impact players on this team who have come on-board since 2009. I mean just look at a roster of a Denver, a Houston, a San Francisco, even a Seattle, and compare their young players to the Ravens young players. It's not close...
Only 1 Belichick in the NFL right now and he's seems to be the only coach who can keep his team "elite" indefinitely. Harbaugh ain't Belichick but few have ever been. Obviously, Harbaugh has his weaknesses, probably the biggest being that he's overly cautious, but I just can't imagine many other coaches getting much different results as HC in Baltimore this season and in seasons past.

As for Cameron, Hindsight's 20-20 but Former Superiors make terrible subordinates. Harbaugh had a conflict of interest, and Cameron felt overly empowered. Can't have a subordinate who you feel you owe something to indefinitely.
Biscotti, being the owner he is, and the businessman he is, should have been the owner, identified the probelm and made the choice earlier. The buck stops with the Biscuit and he could have stepped in long ago to do something that clearly Harbaugh had trouble doing.

Agree with your whole post except
this part. BB does what Harbs does. Gets to the playoffs and takes it from there. BB hasn't won a Sb in 8 years, just gets imto the playiffs and
Loses just like we do. Why he isn't compared to Andy Reid the way Harbs is I have no idea. What has Belichik done that is so vastly superior to what Harbs has in the last 5 years?

Says the guy who's "inside source" told him that Ray, Pollard,and Yanda were playing this week. Forgive me for continuing to insist that you're pulling this stuff out of your hat, but you've been wrong as often as you've been right and the stuff you have been right on hasn't exactly been groundbreaking.
