Is Jim Harbaugh Making the Right Choice?

Jim Harbaugh is heading to the San Francisco 49ers. He is leaving the college ranks and the 12-1 Stanford Cardinal, even with Andrew Luck returning. He is joining an NFL team that missed the playoffs despite being picked to win the weak NFC West. They still don't know who their quarterback is. They have a lot of question marks across the board. Do you think Jim Harbaugh made the right choice?

Andrew Luck Staying at Stanford

Andrew Luck, the quarterback of Stanford, has announced he will return to Stanford for his senior season. This made headlines because Andrew Luck was the consensus #1 pick for the NFL Draft and the Carolina Panthers already stated they had intentions of drafting the Stanford product. Instead, he will return to the program. He stated that he consulted Peyton Manning and Sam Bradford about what to do. He passed up a lot of gauranteed money but you can't blame the young man. He must really like Stanford and values his student-athlete role. He stated that he would like to complete his degree in architectural design. Welcome back, Mr. Luck.

Andrew Luck Finishes 2nd, LaMichael James Finishes 3rd in Heisman Trophy Voting

Andrew Luck of Stanford and LaMichael James of Oregon finished 2nd and 3rd in the Heisman Trophy balloting. It was expected Cam Newton of Auburn would runaway with the award. He did just that, but it was cool to see two Pac-10 players finish 2nd and 3rd. Both players had tremendous seasons and are headed to BCS games. Both should have NFL potential and have the talent to make an impact for a team. Congrats to both players and good luck in your BCS games!
