2020 NFL Draft Discussion

He seems like a guy that would be better suited for a smaller market. Carolina for example. Hell even San Diego. Being a quieter guy, if we draft him, I pray the media doesn't eat him alive.

His best fit is as a marine biologist

I'm pulling for the kid. I hope he goes to the combine & tears it up. Then goes to his Pro Day & leaves jaws dropped. Then boggles minds at his interview.

That way, if that's the route we were planning on taking, it's a no doubter. & If not, some team will offer a King's ransom to move up. It's a Win Win for us.

A marine biologist who is drafted high in the first round and makes tens of millions of dollars.

….. you cannot develop an inaccurate QB into an accurate passer...... never has happened and never er will.....

First, that is simply not true. Not even remotely true. This was one of the thing with West Coast teams. Build up a players mechanics and they will become more accurate.. And MOST QB will develop downfield accuracy, just through repetition.

Josh Allen has gotten a lot better in the last 2 season. Lamar Jackson has gotten a lot better. Rivers, Eli and Ben all got better once they got in the NFL.

Steve Young was a good example of a player who improved his footwork and mechanics and developed into a more accurate QB.

If you want to take a QB who has some troubles, you have to rebuild their mechanics, which most teams have little or no time for. Jackson did a great job in the offseason working on his footwork and he is in a much better position to get his passes out on time than he did against us his rookie season.

A couple disclaimers. Remember that completion percentage doesn't NECESSARILY mean accuracy. These days, so many college QB are throwing a tons of bubble screens and passes behind the line, that completing them means nothing. Plenty of college spread teams hardly ever throw downfield.

I think what you might mean is that the Chargers should not necessarily draft a QB who is not accurate because we are the type of team that would not show the good sense and patience to take the time to develop a rookie QB, and would rather throw an inconsistent thrower to the wolves then develop his mechanics. There seems to be an element of truth to that, since we don't seem to give yount players (at other positions) the chance to develop (with the possible exception of Stick).

LOL...actually...I think Herbert looks more like a young Brad Pitt:

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

Nope.

Someone post a picture of Herbert next to a picture of young Tom Lee Jones.

Fact: Herbert has NEVER saved a beached whale.

If your every instinct is wrong, than the opposite ... would be right.

[richpjr]

Nope.

Perhaps not today, and that isn't a given. By the end of the season - easily.
