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.

Herbert is playing with a serious rib injury.

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.

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

If tepper wants the best here it is. Panthers rarely land a great coach. Going for mostly conservative, lower money coaches. This guy will get paid but his resume backs that up. He's a QB guru.

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.

Cool your jets folks. We once had an OC look pretty well going into the later part of the season undefeated. Let's see how it plays out before you crown his ass.

 

He was who we thought he was.

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.
