you are so right, a team that tried their best to every game while their fans wished for the worst is so much worse than anything the patriots organization has done. I don't see why more people don't understand this.
I think that what he said about Harbaugh being in the "right place" is correct. Get a player for a few years and have control over his life. Harbaugh seems like someone who needs to control everything he can about his players; that's much more likely to occur in college than the pros. I think he'll do a good job selling himself to parents of recruits & success on the field will follow.
Whether he can summit Mt. Urban is another subject for another time.
Based on this? Neither IMO, low risk move. If he's cut (again) what's the down side?
I am happy for Gugny though, he was so hoping that TIMTEBOW!!! would get another chance to succeed.
