Cowboys will pound Chargers

Herbert is a legit QB in this league, kid has some special arm talent and will take the Charges to some good places. Definitely not a journeyman qb. He broke the rookie throwing TD record for crying out loud

add to that we don't even have our premier "pass rushers" in dlaw and gregory so he will have all day to throw in the pocket to some legit WR's named Keenan Allen and Mike Williams

and Let's not forget about Joey Bosa, a top 5 EDGE rusher in the league last season, and we don't even have LA Collins

He’s not Montana in his prime or Brady or Manning, yet. He may get there, but now he is still a young QB who will make mistakes.

This is most uninformed or idiotic post I’ve seen on this weeks contest .

Herbert was Rookie of the year last year. Yea, a journeyman. Lol

Yeah, it was the first time I ever saw him play, and I thought he looked good. He did get injured in the game versus Washington, but is expected to play. So there is a chance he'll be hampered by injury, but I definitely would not underestimate him.

John813 · Sep 16, 2021

Herbert had two bad games last year imo.

Against NE and Miami. Both teams have an elite CB and another very good CB.
Miami kept Herbert in check by taking away his wide receivers 1 on 1 and blitzing him. It forced him to check down/stall drives.

Dallas has a good up and coming corner in Diggs then Ant Brown... We will have a hard time generating pressure on Herbert with Gregory and Lawrence out.

So, Herbert should have time to throw, and he will have options covered by guys who aren't known to be great in coverage.

For the record, I don't think Herbert is the greatest QB of all time. He has his flaws and it would not shock me if he struggled against certain looks Quinn thrown at him. He's still a young QB.

This^^^^^

The Charges QB is Justin Herbert not Bobby Hebert. J.Herbert might be the best of the youngest QBs in the NFL.

Doomsday101 · Sep 16, 2021

sports radio going on about how the Chargers are a top 5 defense and feel they could be the #1 defense before seasons end. Offensively they were able to handle Chase Young and the Washington front. Cowboys will have to fight their butts off if they expect to walk out with a win.

Is that a GORICO platinum guarantee??

Chargers pose a few matchup issues, but I don’t get this doom and gloom idea that that the Cowboys will start 0-2. Chargers have a journeyman QB. This isn’t Brady on the opposing offense. We should be able to confuse him, rattle him and get some picks.

Chargers DL is stout but if our OL can’t give Dak a reasonable amount of time to throw the ball and open running lanes for Zeke, then we are paying them too much and need to upgrade.

If this team has improved overall, then this game should be a win, and I think it will be.

We have lost 3 games in a row vs the Chargers.

In the last 24 hours Verdict has told us Anae, Golston and Armstrong are basically carbon copies of Lawrence and that Justin Herbert is a journeyman QB.

That's some sweet analysis right there.

ScipioCowboy · Sep 16, 2021

Is it possible OP thought journeyman meant something it didn’t?

Shane612 · Sep 16, 2021

Are the cowboys in any position to take anyone lightly?
:facepalm:

I think a lot of people including myself overhyped and tried to crown the Commanders based on a few performances they had last year. At the end of the day Commanders defensive front has proved nothing.

No possibly about it. He statistically 100% had the best rookie season ever and looks even more improved this year.

I mean, a lot of ya'll aren't gonna like to hear this, but Herberts rookie season last year is as good if not better than any of Dak's seasons. Some guys are just THAT good.

AND some fans are just that thick... we are into development projects that cost 10 times the value of just drafting because we like to looks so smart, and develop.
Herbert is going to shred this defense without a legit pass rush,, I hate to be so pessimistic, but anyone believing that losing Tank can be overcome with this rosters depth is not paying attention.
Bet even Mike Williams gets 120yds and 2 TDs.

“A journeyman QB”

awesome stuff.

Aviano90 · Sep 16, 2021

If the Chargers offense makes enough unforced errors, I think the Cowboys have a shot.

The Chargers have a journeyman QB? Are you serious? :laugh:

Zekeats · Sep 16, 2021

Herbert going to put up more points than Brady did.

kuyyo_morro · Sep 16, 2021

Meanwhile in Giants land.

austin88 · Sep 16, 2021

I'm afraid that Herbert's passes are going to journey to the end zone 4 or 5 times in this game. Keenan Allen vs Anthony Brown -- yeesh.
