A CASE FOR DRAFTING HERBERT I MEAN LEVIS

While on YT watching film on all the qb's being discussed here I came across this

go to 39:15 mark.

That led me to go here. https://www.thepowderblues.com/forum/forum/los-angeles-chargers-forum-nfl-forum-padres-forum/charger-s-2017-draft-forum/748977-2020-nfl-draft-discussion/page7#post892712

That's when it got interesting, the similarities were astounding. 

Bryce Young / Tua was on their minds

Joe Burrow / CJ Stroud was out of reach they were picking 6th

Jordon Love / AR was moving up the boards trough media hype

Herbert / Levis was a hard pass, do not want

 

Some quotes from their board:

You are going to hate the Herbert pick.

Some heads will explode here if they were to pick Herbert here!

Hebert is very comparable to Paxon Lynch and other similar QB's who have awesome physical skills, but lack consistent accuracy, and intangibles so they usually are drafted high and are big busts in NFL......

Love may be in similar category, but at least he interviews better than herbert..... unfortunately neither of them ever played against a good defense like both Burrow and Tua have.....
 

Liars month. Everyone relax. And prepare yourself emotionally for when they take Herbert.

 

Hebert has a canon for an arm But throws almost every pass like a straight bullet pass in madden football..... when Hebert has a wide open receiver, he still throws a bullet instead of throwing a touch pass that allows receiver to adjust to the ball...... either he hits them with a strike or misses them badly..... bullet passes are needed for some plays against certain coverages, but when defense play zone, Hebert will have to loft the ball over defenders into soft spots in zone....... he did not do that in his bowl games or senior bowl...... and played primarily against bad defenses.... and almost all his completions were to open first reads...... he was horrible when first reads were covered.....

 

Can someone tell me that Herbert is a lot better than Stick or Taylor ?

Nope.

 

I don't want Herbert...too flat footed in the pocket and not accurate enough. Didn't give a darn about his Senior Bowl performance.

 

Herbert on Proday Launching Flatfooted 64 yards... Remember Levis pro day same thing,

 

I dont want Herbert but damn if he aint got a cannon.

 

 

Then there was one post saying it was their best off-season with F.A. ,new coach, new uniforms.
 

Like I said a lot of similarities today. I like to gamble, the draft is a gamble.... I'll take Young or Levis.

Oh there's also this....

Sweet jesus this is going to be a long 3 weeks.

Levis was a fine option at #9, once we made the trade up to #1 it became a 2 horse race.

Stop trying to make Levis or AR a possibility, it won't happen.

First off I think they should have stayed put, there is no clear number  1 qb.

Secondly I just made the thread to show how similar the two situations are and that you don't know who's going to do what.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
