Bo Nix Is Cooked and Other Week 6 Main Characters

PelisseroYeah,

Kapadiapro football focus tracks, you know, turnover worthy plays where if a guy drops an interception, they still count it against you. He's got the most of any quarterback through week five, a 13 turnover worthy play. So we can look at all the other stuff and they're playing, what is it? Four backup offensive linemen.

KapadiaLike there's a lot of bad stuff going on around Justin Herbert. There's no doubt about it, but just the turnovers are part of what's killing them. They've been in these games the last three weeks and some of the turnovers have absolutely killed them. I think what you mentioned there with McDaniel to me is the most intriguing part about this.

KapadiaKind of the Herbert McDaniel Harbaugh relationship triangle and what direction you go. because this season's a wash. Barring a miracle, I don't think they're going to get back into the wild card race or anything like that. But I also don't think this is a situation where you should be quick to just blow it up and say, we're getting rid of McDaniel or we're firing Harbaugh.

KapadiaIt didn't work. We're done with this. I think there's a scenario where you say, if everybody is okay on like a personal level, and I don't know if that's the case or not, I imagine we'll find out in the weeks ahead, that I think there's a case for sticking with this and saying, let's see it through.

KapadiaLet's stick with McDaniel the rest of the season. Let's see if Herbert improves. It's not going to matter for this year, but is there a stretch from week 12 to week 17 where we're saying this is one of the best offenses in the NFL.

KapadiaThings are clicking. They got healthier with the offensive line. You have some momentum that you can build on and you say, all right, this wasn't ideal, but now we can look ahead to 2027 and we say this is actually a functional offense. Herbert's playing good football.
