We are starting to see some people saying Kyler Murray/Hebert is/will be better than Patrick Mahomes. I think it’s ridiculous, but there are people that feel that way. I was wondering if anyone here would choose Kyler or Justin over Mahomes. So the choice is simple: who would you rather have as QB for the next 12 years? Murray, Herbert Or Mahomes? [Reply]

Stafford was surrounded by talent at nearly every position.
The results weren't the same but they play the game similarly and I think that's where Herbert's ceiling probably is.
Herbert's floor though? People need to chill on him a bit if you asked me. [Reply]

It was the same story last year. Talent out the wazoo and he finishes 5-11.
And it ain't all Derwin James being injured or Philip Rivers throwing too many picks, either. Those are piss poor excuses. Andy Reid in 2014 had a gaping hole at LG (remember Mike McGlynn?) the entire season and Eric Fisher was still pretty bad. Derrick Johnson, Eric Berry, and Jamaal Charles all had season ending injuries early in the year. And our QB didn't throw a single TD to a WR. And that team still finished above .500.
A good coach can do better than 5-11 and a 1-5 start to this year with that talent, especially when his rookie QB is playing this well. I don't see how anybody can hem and haw about how good the Chargers look on paper every offseason and then claim they still have a good head coach when they inevitably disappoint.
If the losses are due to Herbert messing up in key situations, then Lynn should be playing Taylor. It's about wins and losses, and Lynn isn't getting the job done. [Reply]
I want proof of these "some people are starting to say Murray/Herbert could be better than Mahomes" people. This sounds like a made up statement to justify this dumb thread. [Reply]
