Harbaugh was out in Illinois for a private workout for Garappolo earlier this week. Supposedly Niners are very high on him - quick release, good arm, etc. His stock may have shot up to 2nd/early-3rd. Cassel would be a nice option for a 1-2 yr starter as Houston rebuilds.

Of course lol The entire organization probably laughs at every statement he tweets claiming that the Texans will do this or that.
this is what passes for an "insider/beatwriter?" Does he realize that saying what you want to happen isn't the same as reporting that it will happen. And it would be nice if he actually reported some evidence-based thinking as opposed to mere conjecture. or it would be nice if he had an original thought period.
I'll be stunned if he actually reported something newsworthy(and not conjecture) or had an original thought.
