In 1995, Harbaugh led the NFL in passer rating From 1991-1997, he was the only QB not named Steve Young to win the passer rating title

[@Bwwe82090]

Wow that's pretty cool!

[@kcomao]

Since when did leading the league in passer rating called the passing title? Passing title would be referring to yards. And harbough finished 24th in yards that year with only 2575. Not good at all.

[@jeremiahhayward8452]

⁠@@kcomaoHe also only started 12 games that year. That’s over 200 yards a game. How’s that “not good at all”? Way to make such a confident statement yet have no idea what you’re talking about.

[@kcomao]

@@jeremiahhayward8452 so that would put him at 19th that year at yards per game. So that’s the bottom half of starting quarter backs. So Yes, not very good.

[@kaminator515]

The only issue Jim Harbaugh ever had was he was made by Mike Dika to be unnecessarily looking over his shoulder with hometown boy being forced in for Harbaugh whenever Harbaugh and Ditka didn't see eye to eye. Probably in my opinion the best QB the Bears ever had.

[@marcd1981]

Brought back some memories, for sure. And Harbaugh could ball! He was actually a decent running QB, running through tacklers instead of sliding. The ugly Ravens helmet logo back then; curious as to why the failed Hail Mary was shown. Most Hail Marys fail, they should have shown a successful one (if he had one). Just read through a bunch of comments before mine. I see people commenting on his 66-74 record as to why he wouldn't have won a SB, or be considered great. There are a couple of other players that come to mind, one being Barry Sanders, who's team had a 74-79 record while he played for them. Would you not consider Sanders to be one of the best (if not the best) runner of all time?

[@marcoc.9703]

I also think Jim was a really good player, especially in his years with the Colts. Despite his time with the Bears, where there wasn't a team even up to par in the Colts years I found him exciting to watch him play. Huge heart, courage, I admired him very much.

[@timburr4453]

Always liked Harbaugh. For some reason I always thought he was a bit of a smaller QB than he actually was (6'3 215) he didn't look big on the field. He was somebody that just found ways to get it done, nomatter how ugly it was or what kind of game he was having to that point. Not the best accuracy, average arm, sometimes he could be a bit sloppy due to trying too hard...but he was smart, elusive, and just had naturally good football instincts. A very high football IQ. He was very good when plays broke down and thrived in pressure situations. And he also didn't throw very many interceptions
