BullBuchanan Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Should this cost Anthony Lynn his job? Don't get me wrong, Tyrod seems like a great guy and he's a good QB to have on your roster, but what exactly is Lynn thinking here? They drafted Herbert 6th overall and he played lights out against the SB champs. He never looked like a kid in his first NFL action to me. I know that Lynn's statement may have been looked upon like boilerplate coach speak in the past, but these days it seems ridiculous that you would go out of your way to defend your journeyman "starter" of 1 game when his rookie replacement played as well as he did.https://sports.yahoo.com/anthony-lynn-risks-qb-controversy-with-hardline-stance-on-justin-herbert-214417416.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Lynn isn't a good HC to begin with so doesn't surprise me he would do something like this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Tyrod did not play due to adverse reaction to a pain killer shot could be Lynn pushed him to take the shot for the team and is now feeling guilty about Wally Pipping him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 After watching Herbert, as HC, I would have a hard time keeping him off the field. I think this is the wrong decision for Lynn, personally. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Didn't the Baker era in Cleveland begin because of a Tyrod injury? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 After watching Herbert, I never expected Tyrod to start another game for them, unless Herbert got injured. I'm not sure what Lynn is thinking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I mean he also thought punting on 4th and 1 in Over time vs. the Chiefs was a good idea. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Tyrod will start one more half before Lynn's hand is forced again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) “There's a lot we didn't get done with Justin on the field yesterday,” Lynn said on Monday “He's a backup for a reason.” “It’s not like we won the damn game yesterday. We lost.” wow! Sounds like a NHL Coach. Not your usual scared to say whT color the blue sky is NFL Coach. now attempting to piece together the thought process... Maybe...and we have seen when a QB comes unexpectedly Off the bench they do many times have success in that specific game. maybe Lynn feels that with prep time the opposing teams will not let Herbert look as good and if Herbert really isn’t ready for the full spot light then Lynn will be having to bench his Rookie and that would lead to all sorts of other isssues.

Holy ***** he actually said that. What the hell is he thinking you build up your rookie QB's confidence you don't tear it down.

John from Riverside Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This is gonna work itself out....they drafted a QB high for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This makes zero sense. Herbert almost beat the SB champs with no time practicing with the ones ... not like TT did anything the week before. Would have lost to Cincy if Cincys kicker doesn’t pull a hammy on a chip shot FG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn has made a ton of boneheaded calls at the helm of an NFL team, but this is just such a bizarre hill to die on. Maybe he believes that this endears him to the veterans in the locker room or something as a player's coach, but I'm pretty sure they all know that Tyrod isn't leading them to a Super Bowl. For sure I understand taking a measured stance and not going all-in Herbert here, but he's swung so far the other way it's almost like he believes Herbert has no business playing for this team. When the inevitable time comes for him to assume the starting role, how exactly is that message delivered and sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVGrown Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 They would've gotten a whole lot less done with TT out there. Was Herbert polished? Hell no, but he completely opened up the run game. They stack the box with TT which kills the run game. I stupidly benched Ekeler not knowing TT wasn't playing.

LeGOATski Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I don't think he's handling the media well, but you gotta let Tyrod play himself out of the job, so that there's no controversy when Herbert takes over. Otherwise, you have the potential for dissension and/or a QB carousel situation. That's why McDermott started Peterman, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason to not play him is if he’s not ready. He looks plenty ready. It isn’t like TT is some entrenched starter. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if he is dead set on sticking with Tyrod there has to of been a better way of doing it besides throwing Herbert under the bus.
