Looks to be a power struggle out in San Fran. Already had Jimmy Haslam confirm trade talks were had with SF for Harbaugh.[/quote]

It's a bit of a stretch to say trade talks were had

Could you imagine this board if DSnyder made these comments:

[QUOTE]“This is the one I’m comfortable with — the status we are in right now with our staff,” Jones said during a two-hour interview with the media aboard his blue-star emblazoned Cowboys bus outside Lucas Oil Stadium at the NFL Scouting Combine.

“I like our staff. Jason should know, and I know that he knows, that the plan here and has been for him to be long term, and long term certainly being beyond this year, the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Jason has a high tolerance for ambiguity. He really does. That is very important in this situation.”

While Jones wants Garrett to continue to run his football team, he wants him to stay clear of the offense.

There was definite ambiguity in that last season, muddying the waters for offensive coordinator/play caller Bill Callahan, whose power was routinely usurped by the head coach.

“Jason was really your coordinator last year,” Jones said. “That’s a fact. That was one of the issues. It was unfair to Bill. All of it was manifested by the fact that it was very difficult for Jason to get out of that role. That’s why we had such a tough time articulating it early. That’s why we made some of the switches we made during the middle of the season.

“All of it was manifested by the fact that it was very difficult for Jason to get out of that role. We laugh, but there is a difference when you’re sitting in the room and as the coach and you say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, y’all put some salt and pepper in there’ than after it has already been cooked and you’re tasting it outside the room and it might need a little salt and pepper. It’s a big difference.”

and what does it mean when a head coach has a high tolerance for ambiguity?

[quote=Chico23231;1060337]So you would say get rid of the sc and play would become better? I dont think it would, I would say look at the style of play vs the rules change and that's where you see "this problem". The game has changed in the last 10 years dramatically.

I think I like the ability to of teams to become good or bad quickly.[/quote]

It would get better IMO.
Today when a team gets loaded with talent and wins, they can not afford to keep all of their talent. Even if they wanted to keep all of their great players, the cap prevents it. It will happen to Seattle come contract time for these young guys.

[quote=Lotus;1060348]You are right, the era of the super teams is gone.

Is that really so bad? The era of the super teams was great...if you were one of the super teams. The bad teams had a hard time getting good and in the meantime knew that they were just whipping posts for SF, Dallas, and us. It was not a good time for fans of non-super teams.[/quote]

It is bad because you force the top teams to eventually lose talent due to the salary cap Even if a high priced veteran and team want to stay together, the cap can make it impossible sometimes.
This is the main problem I have with the cap, teams work so hard to acquire talent and in certain situations have to part ways because of the cap. The player, team and its fans all lose. What is the point? To even the playing field for cheap owners do not want to spend when necessary to field a strong team. Raiders and Cleveland are like $40million under the cap. Wonder why they suck.?.?
Owners like Jack Kent Cooke took care of his veterans, why is that a bad thing? Some of today's owners are cheap and greedy.

That he is able to kiss whatever ass is placed in front of him, no questions asked.

A very good read on the Harbaugh/Baalke situation.

Aaron Hernandez beat up another guy in prison pretty badly and is being moved.

Good read. Not very surprising. Harbaugh's relationship with Greg Roman (allegedly his "best friend" on the staff) is no great thing either.

Lot of buzz about Harbaugh going to the Dolphins next year. My gut still says college football. Don't know where though

I heard that the guy he beat was in handcuffs and couldn't defend himself. Soft ass Hernandez.

Hands probably wouldn't matter against an NFL player anyway.

Rage issues much? I get the whole hyper-emotion of the NFL but, damn, the man needs some professional help.

Murderers, rapists in the NFL. This makes NBA drama look tame by comparison.
