Posted January 4, 20214 yr Moderator In a move that should not come as a surprise to anyone, Anthony Lynn was fired as the Chargers head coach. The Chargers finished 7-9, and but for some very bad coaching decisions, could have been in the fight for a playoff spot. With Herbert at quarterback, this will be a coveted position to fill.
January 4, 20214 yr Can't be a top ten draft pick as an Oregon quarterback and not get a new head coach in your second year. Harrington, Mariota and Herbert. Hopefully for Herbert he gets someone who works with him rather than tries to smash him into a predetermined offense. The upside for Herbert though is that he is far more a prototypical quarterback than Mariota and should fit in just about any NFL system.
January 4, 20214 yr Author Moderator From the minute he first stepped on a football field at Stanford to when he retired, the whole world basically has anointed Andrew Luck to be the best quarterback ever...who didn't really win anything. Don't have time to get in to all he didn't do, but one thing he did do was throw for more yards than did Justin Herbert in their rookie seasons. Luck did throw for 4, 374, Herbert, 4, 336. However, Herbert had a much better completion %, 66.7 to 54.1. Herbert also set the new TD record, 21, to Luck's, 23. Luck did throw more interceptions, 18-10. and Luck played in one more game. So, will people start talking about Herbert the way they did about Luck?
January 5, 20214 yr Sarcasm here but the PAC must be a lot tougher than the NFL???--Herbie has been outstanding--Makes me proud
January 5, 20214 yr Administrator So many ways to address this: 1 hour ago, 1Ducker1 said: the PAC must be a lot tougher than the NFL? As Duckpop22 once said...."Mario Cristobal has held the Oregon offense down better than any defense since Auburn of 2010!" Mr. FishDuck
