Word on the street, when Staley’s job was up in the air, Sean Peyton was after the SD job because of Herbert (didn’t want a situation where he has no QB). But Staley, who was supposedly on the hot seat, made the playoffs, but Joe Lombardi has been getting slammed for his awful play calling. Honestly, the Lombardi with Herbert is similar to Garrett with Romo here, both OC getting carried by QBs masking their warts, but Herbert by far has way more promise that Romo ever did.
With 1 more year left on Staley’s contract, after the choke job in the play-offs and no adjustments by Lombardi (year long trend) it made sense for Staley to fire Lombardi.
So after they made the playoffs I was disappointed, because that meant Staley and Lombardi would return and Payton wouldn’t be there HC, but now that they fired the OC, it’s a huge positive for both the Chargers and Moore. You could only go up after Lombardi.
Moore, he he gets the job, has a QB now that can fit through his reads. If you ever watch Herbert, guys like Chris Collinsworh are always pointing out with awe how he goes fluidly through his progressions.
You know the interesting thing is the Chargers asked LAST WEEK for permission to interview him. So the only delay was the Panthers HC job. Moore also interviewed with Miami and Boise State the last couple of years, so it’s obvious he wasn’t set on staying in Dallas anyways. Jerry offered him a pay raise to stay a couple years back, most probably to continue the continuity.
Now MM is supposedly calling plays, but they aren’t changing the offense. It’s going to be interesting in SD and Dallas.
Thanks for the recap of the season . . . I did not follow them closely but I was wondering what the drop off was.
Like I said I read your comment about San Diego a few weeks ago and it stuck with me and Now Moore in all likely hood will be going there . . . Wow . . . Moore is really blessed if this plays out. . . This may be the beginning of Multiple MVPs for Herbert. Good for Him
By this time next year, these poor Dak Fans are gonna have a nervous break down when reality finally smacks them in the face. . . Their last bastion of denial "It's Kellen's Fault because He Could Not Put Dak In A Position to Utilize His Strengths and that His Offense Is Boring Because That's What Kellen Is" will be shattered . . .
It is gonna be fun to watch your Commentary . . . You should do a weekly Comparison / Update Report Every Week (like The Gorico Guarantee)
That would be great I really enjoy reading your breakdowns and would be looking forward to it
As far as MM taking Control. If true would be a huge sign of things to come . . . It is still early and anything can change . . . But if MM goes into the season as the signal caller then I believe that is a shot fired at Dak.
This is Mike's last shot and He is going out doing it "His Way" . . . No one any longer can defend the "Dak Fiasco" . . . Thus he is fully exposed . . . I do not even believe Jerry is in his corner at this point it is only Jerry swallowing His Pride . . . And Allowing Dak to Sink or Swim in an open competition. . .
Jerry has egg on His face already he can no longer compound the Problem . . . This year there will be someone here to compete (won't take much to beat out Dak and there ate allot of QBs on the carousel this year). . . Big Mike will shoulder making the tough decision (He is a lame duck any way)
Micah loves Quinn and He is coming back and Micah lost His Faith in His QB . . . Dak is stuck to the bottom of our shoes but He can still be relegated to the end if the Bench (where He can watch and learn how to "Work on Things" and improve and get better)
Big Mike is a Beast . . . Did you see Him Rocking that chain
The face of this franchise is #11 and #11 gets what #11 wants Jerry said so at the Press Conference to announce the generational Talent . . . When Micah held court and Jerry was left speechless . . . Jerry love Him Some Micah . . . and this year Dak gets kicked to the curb
(Best case scenario the locker room that Dak lost shuns him and he balls up in the fetal position and cries to get out of here . . . Hopefully Cowboys release Zeke. . . . Dak would be an outcast)
