No reps (if Chargers PR is being truthful)...looked poised and had some nice NFL throws. If he had just run for the 1st instead of the INT...he likely beats Mahomes in his first start. They definitely had some "home cooking", late...but he still threw for over 300. You look for "flashes" with a rookie...he played way better than I thought he would. I hear he was inconsistent in college...have a great game then suck. We'll see... Last edited by BlackOp; 09-23-2020 at 01:52 PM.. |

We've seen literally every young QB in the league make throws like Herbert made on Sunday. Have you ever watched a Sam Darnold highlight reel? He makes some absolutely Mahomes-esque throws at times. But then he flat out sucks at times too.
The simple fact is that it's one game. He wasn't horrible, he wasn't great. Statistically, most of these young QB's are going to hover somewhere between league average and outright failure. The success rate for true franchise QB's is just low. |

What did he NOT display? No one's crowning his ass. We're saying after his first game, the arrow is pointed up. That could change of course, but there's really nothing to complain about from his first start. |

Everybody gets all horny over young QB's when they make 2 or 3 good throws early in their career. And then it just never materializes beyond that. It's just simple math. |

Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Deshaun Watson Lamar Jackson Carson Wentz Kyler Murray Joe Burrow looks pretty good through two games. And to be fair to Mayfield and Darnold, those guys play for franchises that are historical trainwrecks. |

Deshaun Watson is great for stats. Loser mentality. Pouts. Holds onto the ball too long. Definitely not a top tier QB. Carson Wentz can't even stay on the field. And for now, I'm just not going to address Lamar Jackson. Out of that list, Patrick Mahomes is on a HoF trajectory and you simply can't argue otherwise. Kyler Murray looks very promising. The rest of those guys have HUGE question marks of one kind or another (outside of Jackson, who still has question marks of his own). |

Thats a serious life threatening mistake.
Most of the ones I've been involved with were in the ER or ICU where the patient is looking a death if we don't do that procedure soon. If we have time we got to the X-Ray to make sure in the placement of the needle. |

Herbert looked good last week, but with the patchwork defense the Chiefs trotted out to the field, that's not particularly hard to achieve for a top 10 drafted QB. Needless to say the jury is well and truly still out.

The Chargers medical staff is a bigger threat to the Chargers' players and it's probably why they're all hurt all the time

Herbert’s college tape is FULL of reasons to be skeptical.
Maybe that’s why some people aren’t going to overreact to one game? |

And @ Baker’s story not being written yet.
He sucks and if you can’t see it at this point, I don’t know what to tell you. Darnold is a guy that’s in an awful situation, but Baker has great weapons, a great running game, and a solid OL. He is who he is at this point. |

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Zero tolerance at all for reservation or hesitation. You MUST either hate him or love him. There's no in between. I'm done arguing about it. I've said all I need to say. |
