Yes it does concentrate only on his 2019 season, which makes sense given that the most recent thing is what determines how much you've grown. It's the reason people concentrate so much on Love's 2019 season vs. his 2018 season.

It's just better to see the film breakdown. I would recommend trying to get the 90 day free subscription. Just make sure to cancel it right after you register so it doesn't automatically charge you after 90 days.

well, Love's situation was highly different. 9 new starters on offense, a new HC and OC because his 2018 season was so good they got hired by bigger schools. Again, just like Herbert the talent you play with can have a large affect. receivers not in the right place.in the case of Herbert, his receivers averaged more than 5 drops a game.

The thing about Herbert is that he can make throws that Tyrod and Stick just can't make.

When you look at some of Mahomes big plays, he isn't being some genuis reading defenses.
Reid is taking advantage of his arm talent being able to throw a 50 yards strike on a bootleg with one read.

When you have Herbert and his arm talent you can also call some one read plays where he throws 50 yards on the move. And get big chucks just like that.

It will be hard for Lynn to sit Herbert, if he starts to feel they need more chunk plays than Tyrod can give them.

When we found out PR was leaving and Taylor would be the man, one of the first thoughts I had was there goes those third and long conversions. Now, looking forward to when Herbert is ready to take over I'm thinking there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, the question is when will he be ready?

Agreed.
in a physical game, sometimes we can outsmart ourselves when we underestimate the power of physical tools.
strengths can compensate for weaknesses.
It all starts with physical capabilities
big physical receivers will help

remember how fun it was to watch 6’4” Rivers throwing to 6’4” Vincent Jackson, 6’4” Gates and 6’5” Floyd?
(want 2009 back)

Well it’s going to be ridiculously entertaining to see 6’6”JH play “DB keep away” with 6’8” Parham, 6’4” Mike Williams, KA etc.

Yep...especially in the red zone...lay the rock up there to Parham and let the shrimpy little 5-10 CB's jump all they want...

Herbert also had 3 different coaches, 3 different OCs and 3 different offensive schemes in his 4 years.

Lamp has not played in 3 years and now gets a 4th year, 2nd rounder salary. Thats a lot. He needs to significantly outperform the younger, cheaper guys just to keep his job. The team would save at least a million by replacing him as a backup with a younger guy. Flat out, he needs to be a starter this year.

If I remember correctly Lamp played last year. but he got injured somewhere mid season and was IR'd. If I remember correctly he performed admirably while he was in there. So he has not NOT played in 3 years. But I agree he must play the whole season as a starter and be good at it.

[Formula 21]

Lamp has had two starts and 3 surgeries in 3 years. Is he a non power conference guy that was overrated to start? I hope he succeeds, but I don’t recall him as being an overly talented player when he did play. As I said, I hope he steps up and wins a starters job because we all thought he was very talented. So far, he’s only shown that he cant beat out underperformers, gets paid a lot and gets hurt a lot.



The Los Angeles Chargers selected Lamp in the second round (38th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. Lamp was the first offensive guard drafted in 2017.^[14]

On May 11, the Los Angeles Chargers signed Lamp to a four-year, $6.66 million contract with $3.75 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2.98 million.[15] On August 2, 2017, Lamp suffered a torn ACL during training camp, and was ruled out for his entire rookie season.[16]He was officially placed on injured reserve on September 2, 2017.[17]

On May 15, 2018, Lamp underwent a minor knee procedure, described as a routine cleanup.^[18] He entered 2018 as a backup guard to starters Dan Feeney and Michael Schofield. He only played in two games, and was a healthy scratch for much of the season.

In 2019, Lamp played in seven games with two starts before suffering a broken fibula. He was placed on injured reserve on October 23, 2019.^[19]

Ps. And maybe with new coaching, Lamp gets a fresh look and shows what hd can do. I hope so.

I remember reading that Lamp was one of the best OTs in college and that he was a steal where he was drafted. but of course your best ability is availability.

Lamp was highly touted coming out as a potential first rounder. We were all thrilled to get him in the 2nd. But now he seems to be on the track of some other early picks we have had. They come out and don't do anything for 3 years and just fade away leaving us disappointed.
