There is no "knock" on Herbert by anyone that doesn't pray at the altar of Tua. He's not too careful with the ball? He has . 30 TDs and 5 INTs on the year...and two of them came last game.
I don't understand this thread. It's like no one watched Herbert's last outing on Saturday, he threw 2 picks which were awful picks but in all honesty it could easily have been 5 or more. This was against a Pac 12 defense, I could only imagine how he would look if he played in the SEC. I have liked Herbert as by #3 guy for most of the last two years really, but honestly the tape he put down on Saturday is something that is very hard to dismiss. It's not like he hasn't shown these kind of mistakes in other games (I've watched a lot of him), it's been there but not as obvious because it's been interspersed with some OMG type throws.
That's Herbert though, he's a project, he's got a arm from the gods, he can throw the perfect ball but you need to coach out a bunch of warts in his game, the owner and fans won't have the patience to live with his growing pains in my view, it'll be at least 2 years with GREAT coaching that he's ready. If he drops, which he won't, to the 2nd, you take a flyer but honestly in our position he's not worth a 1st round pick.
