No way in hell do I mess with his mechanics.

I agree. Don't broke what ain't fixed . Maybe this offseason they can make him more aware of throwing lanes so less balls are batted down, maybe moving around in the pocket. But don't mess with the arm. Don't want to give him the Steve Sax Yips throwing the ball.

I still think that the reason Herbert gets so many balls batted down for being so tall, is trajectory and release point. I think he needs to learn when to put more arc on some of the balls he throws when the situation calls for it, instead of firing a rocket from a lower release point. He would have fewer passes batted down and his passes, especially the shorter ones, would be more catchable. I guess I'm saying the reason for receivers dropping his balls and the number of his passes that are batted down, originate from the same cause, and I think it's something he can remedy on his own as he learns to understand situations better with more experience.

Me neither. And Mayfield leads the NFL in batted passes over the past 4 seasons, including this one. At least that is what they said on the broadcast last night. Don't remember the exact number but it was around 50. Pretty startling.

Absolutely not. The kid throws 65 yard dimes on the run under pressure... Don't touch a damn thing.

So another UN truth by Ugly truth? Needs to change his username lol.

A note about the railing collapse after the Washington/Philly game. The fact no one from the stadium was there to help reminded me of something a retired policeman said after the 2011 beating of Bryan Stowe at Dodger Stadium. He was quick to point out a team cares about security when you are entering the gates and sitting in your seats for one reason only-you are going to generate revenue while entering and watching. But once the game ends, no one is adding $$ to the owner's pockets. Although he said too much alcohol is part of the mix, the cop got it right - Snyder got your money for the day, why bother caring about you now?

Believe it or not, at Carson the sheriff patrols were in full force after the Chargers played. Maybe Spanos got that right???

Agree - let him grow and learn naturally. Shit, he releases the ball about 4 feet higher than Rivers did. He’s a top QB in the league already and playing better in his first 2 years than literally any QB in history. Sometimes defenders time their jump and are just there - this freak out over bat downs is pretty silly imo. Don’t change the star QB - get better fucking blocking. Knock those fuckers down when they jump in the air and jump that 300+ lbs on their sternum a few times.

Fouts used to tell his O linemen to hit the D guys in the gut if they stuck their arms up to block passes.

Game manager QB is not something anybody wins with since five ever.

According to Staley, it's the nature of the offense we run. Really tight formations and some short drop back RPO options. I think his mechanics are fine.

Have you watched the Patriots this year?

COVID restrictions in Los Angeles could force the NFL to move the SB to another location.
