We're just past the middle of the NFL season, which means the midseason awards and rankings are coming out aplenty. Sporting News has been compiling responses from 111 different NFL players on 31 different teams to many questions that factor into their NFL awards.

Players asked were not allowed to say their own coaches, so it's not as though 50 of the 53 49ers players were asked and responded accordingly. Harbaugh has led the 49ers to a 7-1 record and is one overtime reception away from a stellar 8-0. Mike McCarthy and Jim Schwartz both received at least 20 votes apiece, but Harbaugh is the clear winner with 50. After the jump, some quotes.
