I was thinking for the last few weeks that the Dolphins were going to draft Herbert. Then word comes out that more in the organization like Herbert than Tua. Now I'm thinking they will draft Tua. It's all about smoke screens.

Well - one read QBs and Captain Checkdowns litter the draft every year - so take a run at greatness for onceWhat idn't get or like is that some of the same people who are bashing Herbert now would be saying he's a must get player if Tua and Burrow weren't in the draft. I mean if Herbert was the top qb on the board despite the same issues they dislike now they would be saying he's easily worth a top 5 pick because "if you don't have a franchise qb you always have to chase the top qb in the draft if you can?"
Justin Herbert is the Brady Quinn of this draft. Robotic, slow processor that must have his base set to throw with any semblance of accuracy. Force him to speed up his process, move off platform or reset his feet to throw and he becomes below average.
I don’t even like a Ryan Tannehill comparison. At least Tannehill’s best attribute was throwing on the move, and he was better at getting the ball out on time. Where he and Tannehill share similarities is the slow eyes and staring down the target.
Mel Kiper’s love for Herbert is reminiscent of his adoration for Brady Quinn. Like I said, it’s all about who is lining whose pockets when listening to the talking heads.

I supported him while was here but having better pocket presence than Ryan Tannehill is not exactly what you call a ”high bar”Brady Quinn never had the arm Herbert has. Herbert also played well during the senior bowl. Brady Quinn didn't participate. I think Herbert has underrated pocket presence, certainly better than Tannehill. And is a better runner/scrambler than Tua. Anyways, Herbert has done a lot to help his draft stock and continues to Impress. I agree Herbert does seem robotic sometimes in the pocket, but you know who else looked robotic in college and also played in the PAC 12?? Aye Aye Ron Rodgers. Herbert has potential with the right offense and right coaching staff in place to help mold him. I don't think that Oregon offense was a good fit for him.

People are opinionated...and the same people are often wrong.
They may have as recently as last year been totally wrong in bashing a prospect... but they are absolute about this years prospects? It’s funny!
Lol. I'm now reading multiple posts here that have tannehill was a better prospect than Herbert coming out of college.
