And yeah, Lombardi hyper focuses on the short pass game. But the idea for some seems to be that he wasn't good, at all.
I suspect the Chargers will end up throwing more deep shots (and being more explosive, potentially, as a result), but that some aspects of their short passing game that have been positives (consistency, moving the chains, gaining a lot of positive yardage) may step back... and they end up roughly the same.
The question could also be asked... does a more explosive, less consistent offense (that isn't as good at methodical, clock-chewing drives) mesh well with Brandon Staley?
Its not their scheme, coach or Herbert's fault. Mahomes is a unicorn. If he was on the Bears, they'd be contending by now. [Reply]

If your QB is good your team can do both effectively, see.Mahomes, Patrick [Reply]

The Chiefs have little to do with the Chargers laughable failures. Having another great team in the divison doesn't excuse shit like the Jags playoff game. [Reply]

Interesting.... I'm not at all in depth into their scheme, but for whatever reason don't see them as a short pass team. That could just be given their strategy against the Chiefs or bias towards when they're behind in games.
Whatever keeps Staley there longer though, he's an idiot. [Reply]

Yeah, I don't think of them that way, either. But there are several national guys who have complained about that scheme not taking advantage of Herbert's abilities. So we'll see. [Reply]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious he's just chasing the money. I don't blame him though. These guys have a very limited time to make as much as they can, but don't claim that you want to go to a contender to chase a ring [Reply]

I'm not sure what you're trying to excuse from the Chargers by sighting Mahomes greatness but a LOT of the Chargers problems are a result of the scheme and coach. [Reply]
Former #AZCardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins is set to visit the #Patriots next week, sources say. This is after his #Titans visit, as Hopkins’ free agent market heats up. New England could add a top pass-catcher for Mac Jones. pic.twitter.com/ip2KCk2pLN
Meh I don't know, I'm guessing he does want to sign with a contender BUT why not go visit some teams that are willing to pay you what you want FIRST before deciding? Might end up really liking the teams atmosphere and worst case he takes a look at all his options and maybe with taking a visit with non contending teams he gets more money from us or another contender.
