Harbaugh does the dishes for the mother of a recruit.

Harbaugh was 9th in passing yards in 1991

the 8 ahead of him for reference.

Warren Moon
Dan Marino
Jim Kelly
Mark Rypien
Bernie Kosar
Jim Everett
Ken O'Brien
John Elway
Those are some good QBs. 9th isn’t bad for Jimmy Jam
 
If you last 14 years in the NFL -- you are doing something right.

How many OSU QB's have lasted 14 years in the NFL in the history of your program?
Brian Hoyer has been in the NFL for 14 years and has a Super Bowl ring. Is he “doing something right”?

Back up QB is perhaps the best job in America. I’ve seen some of Branden Weedens homes in Oklahoma. Guy has it pretty good.


But he wasn’t a good Pro QB. He wasn’t average either
 
Behind Jim Everett and Ken O'Brien though. Lol. I'd hardly call them great QBs.
Marino and Moon were chuckers even for back then. Wonder why Harbaugh didn’t sling it

Brian Hoyer spent much of his career as Tom Brady’s backup. He doesn’t even need to worry about people being upset and demanding he be the starting QB.
 
Bobby Hebert is a good comp to Jimmy Jam


That would probably piss off some Saints fans if we had any here
 
He was the OG game manager but not a good one. Memory is fun but I don’t remember the other QBs in the league then.

And was Jimmy Jam better than Jim McMahon? I’d say no
You questioning Jim Harbaugh's accomplishments makes me very uncomfortable. I'm not okay with hate but will pray for you at church on Sunday.
 
I'd day he's borderline top 20 of QB's during his generation, which would put him as below average. He's certainly not a "top QB of his time." He's not even all that close to it. He had one really great year, the rest of his career was the definition of mediocrity.
But during his generation. There were 100's and 100's of QB drafted into the NFL. So being borderline top 20 is pretty damn good, no?

He doesn’t have any accomplishments. That’s the point bech


And all that other jibberish you spitting doesn’t make no sense mang

There were 28 teams when we entered the league, and 30 by 1995. If you're sitting around the 20th-best QB, you are by definition a below average nfl starter. He wasn't a good QB. He was simply okay. Best thing he did was lead the Colts to a shitty record in 1997 so they could draft Peyton.
 
Again -- any QB that lasts 14 years in the NFL is the furthest from a hack you can get. Even if you are a backup QB for 14 years -- you are the elite of the elite at the position for that time period.
Holy crap, dude...did you just invent the term "Elite Backup" for the purposes of pimping your coach?

Look, Harbaugh was great in that one season with Marchibroda as his wingman, and "Let 'Er RIP!" is an iconic piece of NFL history, but that's pretty much his career.

For the love of all that is holy -- I never called him a NFL great. I said he was one of the elite QB of his era, as in one of the select few who had a long NFL career. He was in the NFL 14 years and was a starter for 10 years. Was he a world beater? Hell no. But 100's of QB's were drafted while he was in the NFL, yet he was able to last in the league for 14 years, most as a starter.

This of it like this. Say each team has 2 QB's with some having 3 QB's in the NFL. That's roughly 70 QB's on NFL rosters when he was drafted. Now in 14 years -- there were roughly 200 QB's drafted while he was in the NFL. That is now 270 QB's on rosters or drafted. If a QB is in the top 20 out of 270 QB's -- That means he is better than 93% of all NFL QB's during his era. I'd say that is pretty good for a journeyman QB, which is essentially what he was.

Tough to call him an elite backup when he started 140 games in the NFL. He was a journeyman QB, but any QB who can last that long in the NFL is one of the elite QB's of that era.

The NFL is the pinnacle of football. If you are good enough to last 10+ years at ANY position in the NFL, you are one of the elite.

14 years :facepalm:

4 of those years junior he started less than 5 games. His first 3 years he started 7 games. He’s was an elite backup!!

He averaged less than 1 TD per game in his career.

Look at the other middle or lower tier QBs then. They were not good either





I mean when you go homer you go homer

He wasn't an elite QB of his era. Those would be Marino, Elway, Young, along with many others. He's basically Ryan Fitzpatrick, only with worse numbers, because of the era. Fitzpatrick was okay.

Harbaugh played a lot, to his credit. But when he played he was the definition of average. He literally had one great year, with a bunch of average to below average mixed in. So yes, he played a lot, which counts for something, I guess but not much.

Exactly. Claiming Harbaugh was a "elite QB for the era" because he played in a good amount of games is comedy.

So an Elite Pine-Rider, then
