Justin Herbert passes the 'eyeball test' as a professional rookie

[Justin Herbert] passed my eyeball test right off the bat... he was a Pro's Pro. He was a precocious rookie. I like the Justin Herbert that I saw in the first few games. I don't want him to lose that edge.

Herbert won Offensive Rookie of the Year and became a top-tier NFL quarterback.

Josh Norman should retire immediately after that Derrick Henry stiff arm

Josh Norman should retire like soon after that. Derrick Henry stiff arms are hilarious... he does like The Kill Bill the Five Finger Death Punch on you like Taps who with his fingertips and then your heart stops immediately and you go limp you go flying.

Norman did not retire immediately, but his career was effectively in its twilight as he only played sporadically for a few more seasons.

The Chargers are just the Seahawks but they lose at the end

The Chargers are the Seahawks. They just lose at the end. They are the JV low-rent version of what the Seahawks do—they play weird games, are always in it till the end, but they are just always on the losing end of those really weird strange fourth quarters. They invent ways to lose.

The 2020 Chargers finished 7-9 with multiple one-score losses, fitting the narrative perfectly.

Drew Brees is officially washed

I am sticking with my Drew Brees has washed. What I'm saying is they have a Super Bowl roster and Drew Brees is probably going to be the thing that holds them back when they get in a playoff game against the pass rush... he's no longer at that level.

Brees retired after this season following a divisional round loss where he struggled significantly, supporting the idea he was no longer at his peak.

Arm length doesn't matter for a tackle as long as the quarterback doesn't have tiny hands

Arm length doesn't always dictate everything. If you have a guy that's got short arms that's playing tackle, it's not the end of the world unless maybe you also have a quarterback with tiny hands, in which case it's like synergy factors. Right. Where if the guy with short arms can't block the guy and then the guy with tiny hands gets hit, more likely to fumble.

Whether specific arm length correlates to fumbles based on QB hand size is largely theoretical and difficult to prove or disprove.

You should never order appetizers at a steakhouse to maximize your sides

I'm of the mindset now that you don't need any appetizers at steakhouses. It's, it's a good place to run Zero apps... You don't need the calamari at a steakhouse... The sides at a steakhouse are elite. The mashed potatoes are always elite... mac and cheese always elite at a steakhouse, you wanna maximize your sides to go with a steak.

This is entirely a matter of personal dining preference.

Trent Williams is the rare offensive lineman who is actually fun to watch play

Trent Williams is a joy to have on your team. He's just a fucking bully. He's also the rare offensive lineman where you have fun watching him play. Like after the ball was snapped, my eyes would just go to Trent Williams because it's like this guy, we might throw an interception, but Trent Williams might punch a guy in the throat.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
