You two are talking some serious bullshit.
Making playoffs is not good because we might face Houston???? So fucking what?
Dude, if we make the postseason there’s a good chance that Harbaugh stays, we keep the problem on the squad and most importantly we aren’t going to win games. We haven’t beaten good teams since 2014. Zero, zilch, nada. Don’t give me this “we almost beat KC we can’t beat anyone” crap. We haven’t beaten anyone. We don’t really have a chance at a ring. We “technically” have a chance. So tell me, as a franchise that’s close to actual contention, strengthen the trenches, acquire more weapons, and cross your fingers that LJ8 develops, in what universe does this actually help? Sure, he gets playoff experience, but with Harbaugh and his la lies, he might never get the chance to grow correctly, straight up. I’d much rather have a decade of prosperity ahead then make the playoffs this year and continue to be mediocre with Harbaugh.
Obviously, I’d love to see him prove me wrong and make a run but the playoffs would eat the guy alive. But I don’t see us beating anyone except the Steelers possibly. And us losing in an embarrassing fashion to every other team, including the Steelers possibly. We’d be too one dimensional. I’d rather not get the future of my franchise massacred knowing that our chances for a ring are less then 10%.
I wouldn’t want Joe starting either. He’d be a better passer but every bit as one dimensional.
TLDR: I want the best for the team long term right now. I don’t want us to fuck up Lamar’s development. Keeping Harbaugh is step one of doing that. Just my opinion. And if we make the postseason my gut tells me that Steve uses it as an excuse to keep him, and we continue the mediocre, unbalanced bullshit we’ve become accustomed to since 2014.
