Herbert looks like crap since he left LAC & now Hurts looks like gold in PHI.

To be fair, Chargers' OC is now Joe Lombardi. Dude made the Stafford and Megatron connection look like poo.

The Lions had the #1 defense that year. Ol' Joe is just Shula x10.

There’s no need to use hyperbole. Steichen is good, but Herbert “looks like crap” because he’s 

a) playing with broken ribs for almost the whole season (without missing any time)

b) had his #1 receiver play 3 quarters of football all season and his #3 receiver has played in 3 games.

c) lost his #2 receiver last month.

d) lost his pro bowl left tackle for the season in week 3

e) #1 TE is out in addition to the #2 TE

This of course doesn’t even touch how much their defense is banged up too. But yeah, If Shane was still there, none of that would matter?

 

 

Sounds almost as if football is a team game, and the talent and performance of your teammates matters.

Nah.

Can't be that.

Did not know he was going through a rib injury.  Knew he was banged up at the onset of the year but didn't know otherwise.  Thx for the context.  Still have to wonder the impact, the LAC offense has been struggling regardless.

I’d say a lot of that is talent around the QB.  

Kennan Allen and Mike Williams are hurt 

AJ Brown and DeVanta Smith have been healthy

Yeah Carter doesn't look that bad but Josh Palmer ain't the best dude in the WR department.  I'm not holding to some unwavering opinion but it's interesting to see how that team has changed.  Still, they have a healthy Ekeler and most of the OL in place.  Zion has been playing great and Salyer (R) has actually been holding up very well in place at LT.  Was a big part of that UGA line, remember wanting that dude in the mid rounds.  It's a mix but you know, why not get a bit hyperbolic to emphasize my preference 🙂

Very possible, and I'd have no problem with that whatsoever.

The one question I would have would be whether Reich's age (60) might be a factor for Tepper.

Wasn’t there talk about Tepper wanting someone with HC experience and offensively minded. I think Payton is his main choice but will have to settle for Reich

There was, then it changed. Latest word was that he finally got the memo that young offensive coaches are the thing right now.

That said, I think he could still go for Reich.

I think Payton might be off the table but I doubt anyone will believe it.

What is Reichs general coaching style viewed as? Aggressive/Conservative? I see that he's a major Jesus freak but not much on x's and o's stuff

I don't know much about him but is Jalen Hurts pretty good? I know he struggled and took his lumps his first year like any QB would but I'm guessing the guy is pretty decent now? If so that's one heck of a pick up as I know he wasn't some number one or number two overall pick like so many here feel we must have in order to get a successful franchise QB of the future.

Hurts is playing well. Like fields he showed flashes early but got the typical “he can’t pass and is just a running qb bs” that so many try people try to pigeonhole qbs like him as. Luckily the eagles didn’t listen to people that thought the team should move on, and instead built around him. They trade for AJ Brown, draft Devonta Smith and put a staff around him that built around his strengths and what do you know, he can actually play.

    • As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.
    • It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.   
    • From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
