Herbert isn’t one of the Chargers top problems. But his tendency to get passes deflected by DL is extremely concerning. He leads the league in that category despite being like the tallest starting QB in the NFL.

They need to work on his mechanics to fix that because there’s a no way a QB this tall should get so many of his passes knocked down.

He has a long way to go and I fear this experimental coaching staff will waste his young developmental years as I mentioned in another post.

Lombardi is definitely not good for him. The stats Herbert’s putting up are in spite of him but most casuals don’t realize that.

There's nothing wrong with Herbert's mechanics. However, he can, and I am sure he will, learn to put a bit more touch on some passes. He does tend to rocket the ball, which entails a lower release point and a straight-line trajectory. He will learn that on some throws it is better to put a little loft on them, it's better for the receiver and the release point and arc will be higher.

Putting touch on passes won’t stop his passes from being deflected by the DL over and over again.

But what you said is a good point as well. He needs to take a page out of Mac Jones playbook. If Jones throws pillows, Herbert must throw stones.

Herbert's weakest area is in reading some defenses quickly.

That is something our second year quarterback will improve on.

Or is Slayer wrong when he says "hit the Jugs ?"

I haven't really noticed Herbert having a low delivery. I suspect it has more to do with how many tight formations we run leaving more defenders packed close, along with a really weak right side of the line that is always getting pushed back into his face.

If anyone thinks all NFL teams are playing by the same Covid rules you are naive. The disparity in cases between teams just doesn’t pass the smell test. And of course teams like the Patriots who never adhere strictly to any rules have no outbreaks on their squad. Coincidence? I doubt it

They said Rivers threw a very catchable ball as well. He didnt have a rocket arm but i dont know if that means he had great anticipation to make it that way (which he did have good anticipation) by throwing them open as they say or he just had that touch.

In anycase Herberts arm comes in handy plenty but it dont hurt to know when to rifle one and to give the recievers a better chance on others. However i dont recall this many drops last year and Cook has had many of them while replacing Henry.

The opposing DBs dont seem to have a problem catching them.

Now speaking of Mac Jones, they may have a low drop rate this year but you cant argue 6 SB wins with Brady. Think id rather have those with more drops sprinkled in.

There we're a few overthrown passes by Thor
he thought he was still throwing to Mike Williams
I'm not worried
but regarding passes deflected at the LOS
That's mainly because he's giving it away with his eyes
look at the replays
he'll stare down that first option (I believe the playcall is pre determined to go to the quick first or second option)
I've seen JH do a great job reading post snap and looking defenders off, we need to forget the quick stuff, or lessen it

Yep, they probably have a "friendly" connection within the testing organization.

Exactly.Me and a friend of mine(turd fan puke)were discussing how much better rona protocols would help the NFL brass message games than even the crooked ass Refs.Look how it work for us against the Texans.Yeah they were missing players too but look who that situation actually helped.Now their 4-1 after scorin 41.Funny huh?
