Coach's Notebook: Jan. 14

On the theme of running quarterbacks, there’s been stories about how when you had Colts QB Andrew Luck already signed that you also were sort of recruiting Redskins QB Robert Griffin III to possibly have a two-quarterback system? I don’t if that you actually said that. Is that accurate, and do you think that could have worked out?
“It’s true that we recruited Robert Griffin, yeah.”

Did you have designs of possibly having a two quarterback system?
“Not necessarily, no. They would have competed for the job and the top player would have played. Again, this is like, is this relevant? It doesn’t seem relevant. Doesn’t seem relevant to what we’re trying to accomplish this week.”

If a reporter is writing about running quarterbacks, it could tie in.
“OK, well good luck with that story and good luck with that story.”

Thank you for your assistance.
“You’re welcome.”

I watched that live today and that was one of my all-time favorite Harbaugh quotes and they are really starting to pile up, but that was a great exchange and look he had at the end there.

I'm always interested in seeing how different websites' numbers compare.

Rogers (ESPN) - 55 rec on 90 att, 575 yards, 3 TDs
Rogers (PFF) - 68 rec on 97 att, 615 yards, 3 TDs

-----

Brown (ESPN) - 53 rec on 96 att, 722 yards, 1 TD
Brown (PFF) - 53 rec on 90 att, 719 yards, 0 TDs

-----

Culliver (ESPN) - 39 rec on 75 att, 490 yards, 4 TDs
Culliver (PFF) - 36 rec on 73 att, 471 yards, 4 TDs

-----

Samuel (ESPN) - 39 rec on 74 att, 606 yards, ? TDs
Samuel (PFF) - 41 rec on 77 att, 596 yards, 2 TDs

-----

Robinson (ESPN) - 47 rec on 85 att, 738 yards, ? TDs
Robinson (PFF) - 64 rec on 97 att, 835 yards, 4 TDs

-----

The biggest differences would be: that

PFF has 13 more receptions tagged to Rogers and 7 more attempts than ESPN's numbers. (Brown and Culliver's numbers are close).

Samuel's are close.

VERY big difference on Robinson's receptions allowed and attempts against between ESPN and PFF's numbers (17 rec difference and 12 attempts difference).

Also, it says in the ESPN article that between Samuel and Robinson they have allowed 5 TDs. According to PFF, they have attributed 6 against them.

Wow, those are some HUGE differences across the board, Chris. I can understand seeing a 3-5% difference in Att's but receptions should be identical, especially with the "all-22" now available.

Chris are you a subscriber to PFF?

Yeah. I've had trouble trusting ESPN's data in the past and I've had some back-and-forth with the PFF guys, so in my experiences I'm way more likely to trust PFF, but don't let Bingo hear that otherwise he'll start accusing me of stuff again. :rollseyes:

I watched this video but could not hear the question in bold - thanks for posting Chris!

Not to beat a dead horse, but pretty sure Delanie's struggled to catch balls regardless of the QB.

 

[Bemular]

Yeah. I've had trouble trusting ESPN's data in the past and I've had some back-and-forth with the PFF guys, so in my experiences I'm way more likely to trust PFF, but don't let Bingo hear that otherwise he'll start accusing me of stuff again. :rollseyes:

I have little faith in ESPN's #'s as well and use them only when I have to, and even then I use them almost exclusively for comparisons rather than confirmations. No worries with the secret - I'm on the hush-hush with BINGO.

On if Justin Smith reached his expectations: “We were confident he was going to be as close to 100 percent. He got the extra week. He probably could played a week earlier if we needed him to. He’s as healthy as he’s going to be for rest of the year. He’s going to have to get a procedure at the end of the season, which has been talked about and will be handled. But he’s confident and he’s ready to go. I wouldn’t expect a drop off whatsoever.”

“The 49ers are very pleased to say we’ve added great depth to our team.”

Sheesh. I think Harbaugh has used a football line like that before.
