Justin Herbert - Bolts Franchise QB Official Discussion

At least Herbert has the work ethic part down. It's a good read if anyone's interesting.
After passing up the NFL's millions to return to Oregon, Eugene native Justin Herbert is making the most of it.
Herbert leaves for the football facility around 5:30 each morning and doesn’t return to his apartment until around 8 p.m. He does most of his solitary film study in the fourth-floor quarterback meeting room, which Arroyo has started referring to as Herbert’s office. “I’ve told him we’ll get him a cot and a little fridge to put in the corner if he wants,” head coach Mario Cristobal says.

I love hearing about a good work ethic.
For argument's sake, I'll concede that he can become a good (or hopefully better) quarterback with good coaching. I don't feel like I trust our coaching to develop a raw QB prospect like Herbert.
I hope Telesco looks at this pick and sees his job as being tied to Herbert. With that in mind, I hope he has two primary goals:
1. Make sure he does whatever it takes to help his development. Hopefully they have a plan to add additional coaches to work with Herbert or have strong reason to believe they already have the right coach(es) to facilitate his development. I doubt that AL is gonna be that guy. I’m not a fan of AL, but as a former RB I don’t think he has much to offer Herbert with regards to developing at the QB position.
2. Keep him protected. Focus on developing an elite O-line. Brady didn’t always have great skill position players. He always had a good to great O-line.

Somebody melded video of Herbert throwing and Allen, Ekeler, Williams and Henry catching. It's cool.

The disturbing part of the Chargers staff is we have a rookie QB, but no dedicated QB coach. Last year Steichen started the year as the QB coach, and got promoted when Whiz got fired, but they haven't hired a replacement. I think Steichen did a good job with Rivers, since he was the QB coach for some of Rivers recent success.
The catch is that now Steichen has his QB, he has to start coming up with a plan of how they are going to put an offense together. The scheme itself will be the same playbook (with the usual year to year changes), but we run a multiple offense that has a lot of plays in it. A lot of the plays we run are things that are more for Phil, so those are going to be de-emphasized, while you put additional emphasis on other plays that Taylor and/or Hebert run better. I don't doubt he can do it, Steichen is a smart guy. But how is he going to do at doing that, and spending a lot of extra time with a backup, trying to develop.
The other issue is how much is AL going to concede the entire (near) future of the franchise is riding on Hebert? NFL teams are not designed to develop players. You have an offseason where the skill development takes place, along with some of TC. But as you get close to the season, it becomes more about getting ready to play the season, and by the time the season starts, there is very little skill development going on (for any position, not just QB). It would greatly accelerate Hebert's development if we set aside some time every day for Hebert and other young players to get some work on fundamentals. But there may be some cost to dedicating 15-20 minutes a day from game preparation to young player development, although I would argue that player development is the most important part of a successful franchise, since NFL rosters are in a constant state of flux, even when teams are not rebuilding (which is really bullshit, since they are constantly rebuilding, even the best teams).

Agreed steve.
that was part of my argument for why I wanted a more pro ready qb in Tua.
this really feels like a situation where not everyone was on-board with the pick
We beefed up the right side and didn’t hire a QB coach
looks like a plan to draft Tua.
any idea who is out there as a special consultant of perhaps full time qb coach?
I hope there’s a coherent plan in place for JH

Anyways, one of the reasons Lynn was hired was because they wanted someone who was more of a CEO type versus having an emphasis on one side only. Sort of the opposite of a Sean McVay or Matt Patricia. Even though I feel that an offense is helped out by a great running game, which Lynn does bring to the table. His emphasis on limiting turnovers also led to two of Rivers' best seasons IMHO.
