He is a perfectionist. I believed it was a fairly strong sport.”
As to how the QB battle will go after the second sport, Harbaugh did not have a solution. McCarthy will get his shot towards Hawai’i to show he ought to be the starter, and Harbaugh mentioned the play on the sector will decide what occurs the remainder of the season.
“I feel I mentioned the identical factor to you guys, I would like to have a beginning quarterback going into every one and really clear with that,” Harbaugh mentioned. “Additionally, mentioned if issues are precisely the identical as they have been popping out of camp, they’re fairly near useless even, then we have been going to should — as coaches — discover a technique to maximize each of their abilities for one of the best use of the crew.
