I’ve talked about every now and then how there’s a danger in overthinking a guy like Justin Herbert, who has a gorgeous body, gorgeous arm, is well experienced and has gone thru ups and downs, become a leader at his program (even if it did seem to happen slowly), been efficient as a passer, can run, is strong as hell, by most accounts is known as a bit of a brainy guy, has landed punches on big opponents and big defenses. And I really do feel that way. I have never had any shortage of nitpicks on his game. But the bottom line is the bottom line.
Well, Jordan Love is all of that, except twitchier, faster, more accurate, has a cleaner injury history, with less questionable personality/leadership profile (my bone to pick with Herbert this way is his being such a notoriously standoffish introvert). On the flip side he’s not QUITE as tall, not QUITE as strong.
