Way to wreck the rookie's confidence/ego after what the rest of the world saw as a good game. LAC would do well to get rid of this guy asap.

Ya know, I've never agreed with this line of thinking and I find it amusing, particularly among the old timer crowd, with all of the wailing about raising softer generations.
Is what Lynn said really an issue? He's right. Herbert isn't ready. Herbert himself would probably agree with that assessment. If his coach publicly telling the truth kills this kid's confidence, then he's weak anyway and needs to toughen up.
