I just watched a PFF scouting report video online about Herbert and there main concern with him is that he does not "see" receivers open down the field. They have to come open for him to throw the ball.
Their comp for him was Tannehill in that he has the size, arm athleticism you want but needs guys to come open down field before he will look their way,
They did say that he was not suited for the offense they ran at Oregon and is better looking down field in a play action pass/running offense, not unlike Tenn where Tannehill flourished.
We can argue about what you think of PFF vs any other "experts" but this analysis gave me pause.
If Miami thinks they can coach him up then his talent is well worth gambling on, but I am not sure QB's get better at seeing the field even after good coaching.
The more I look at Herbert and Love as "projects" to some degree I think I am more willing to gamble on Tua's health
