Oh, fps. It was just an example. NFl history is literally replete with examples of players that should've been taken higher and weren't for a variety of reasons.

I think the Ravens started Lamar before he was ready. That's the only point I was making there.

I know where Harbaugh came from. They only talk about it before virtually every Ravens game, so even if I didn't know for some reason, I'd just have to watch one Ravens/Chiefs game to know. But I posted this same information prior to last year's Ravens game, among other things, concerning how well Harbaugh probably knows Andy.
But as I recall, several ESPN/FoxSports analysts and even former Ravens players have mentioned over the years that Harbaugh develops good relationships with his QBs, that he has always been that guy.
