Why does all of the national media not give Carolina a chance at Harbaugh?

[Hotsauce]

It seems that everything outside of NC/SC is saying that JH will likely goto 49ers or Broncos. In some Articles, they dont even mention Carolina as having a chance of getting Harbaugh...why is that? My guess is that the national media doesnt want Carolina to have Luck/Harbaugh...My friends who are Dallas/Philly/Steeler/Redskins fans all are giving me crap b/c I think that Harbaugh is coming to Carolina...Freakin drives me nuts!

Remember how the media looked after Cliff Lee went to the Phillies? Kinda like this:

[Squirrel]

Because Richardson is cheap!

[Kurb]

b/c they fear we will become relevant and thus they would have to actually try and get info out of the black hole of info known as Panther FO.

Because we are small market and they could care less about us.

[Jangler]

Because they want to look stupid?

[Mvp2014]

Because we are small market and they could care less about us.

:iagree: that goes for the NFL too, not just the media

[Hotsauce]

[Kettle]

i agree with Jangler. they do it so much... that has to be it!

[Catalyst]

Because they love their big market teams and can't stand the thought of two huge names like Luck/Harbaugh coming here. The Harbaugh ignoring I can understand - there is at least some evidence that he won't be here, but last night all you heard about Luck is 49ers this, Broncos that, we WE have the #1 pick! Yet not a word about the Panthers getting him.

I think the NFL likes our franchise because we do make money and sell out our games. It's not like we are the Jags or the Bucs.

Yup, we're not "sexy" like the 49ers or the Broncos... as a general rule the national sports media ignores us, so this is no different.

According to Gantt, we've been talking to Harbaugh "for weeks".

[Panthro]

I loled everytime they said he was the clear #1 Pick...whenever he decides to declare. Completely ignoring the fact the Panthers have the 1st pick

[Jase]

It could be because he isn't coming here.

Nah, that's not it.
