I havent been a Herbert fan... I think he has a fantastic NFL physique and may be a really good NFL QB someday but in terms of College QB’s I think he’s more in line with just above average then Heismann esque. His good, he takes care of the ball, except tonight I guess. He has pretty good pocket presence. The bad, the option with him was a joke he would have nothing but grass in front of him and the end crashing down he was still handing it off. I think he’s getting better at making NFL throws, but its still a work in progress, his anticipation isnt elite, he doesnt throw guys open very well and he tends to hold on to the ball and not move on to his 2nd, 3rd reads.
Almost all his cons to me are fixable and he’s improved on them, but I dont think I ever his entire career at Oregon wouldve had him in like the top 10 or do QB’s in the country in terms of what he is right now.
Really hope he does well in the NFL, he’ll go down in Oregons books as a top 5 or so QB in their programs history, and some of the issues have been beyond him, coaching carousel, injured WR’s, skill positions in general have been a bit down.
Most of the NFL hype to me is his potential as an athlete, then what he’s accomplished in college.
