Might want to recalculate the Win% for Herbert.

Or you might not.

Tua was set up to succeed with the type of offense we were running. You rarely saw the ball thrown down the field, and when you did it didn't get there accurately. So all of Tua's throws consisted dumps, short passes, slants, but rarely anything thrown down the field catchable.

Tua had the highest percentage of deep throws dropped of any QB in the league. Dig down deep and ask yourself why we weren't throwing more deep balls...
 
Marino right? Just kidding
Most interesting is that the coaching staff did not believe in Herbert either. He only started due to Tyrod getting injured. If he doesn't get hurt, I wonder how long before they put Herbert in

Being open in the NFL isn't the same as being open in college. Players don't often get open for deep balls in this league. What matters is where the ball was put deep, and how accurate the ball was thrown. Long catches don't magically just happen unless there is separation. There were a few plays where the receivers had enough separation, and those throws weren't executed well.

I appreciate the explanation, but do you know why a drop is officially labeled as such and not just by fans?



Is this just not accurate?

Probably true and so is the opposite

53 yards in the air right on receivers hands with normal throwing motion....too bad he has a weak arm....shoulda been 70.

If you aren't Jamarcus Russell throwing the ball 70 yards on your knees, you can't play in the NFL.

That's elite, right there!
