QB Justin Herbert, LAC (1 Viewer)

A pretty clear 3rd rookie QB but I’m surprised there’s not more hype about him. Top 6 draft pick, good mobility, good weapons, and in a fairly pass happy offense? I think he’s got huge upside.

He will most likely struggle badly initially. Not saying he won’t eventually be OK however.

Probably because he's not a good qb. Terrible pocket presence. Reminds me of Blake Bortles with less balls.
I'd rather have Hunt a round later.

It's not going to be a pass happy offense. It was pass happy with Rivers, but HC Lynn favors a more conservative offense. When Lynn was with Tyrod in Buffalo for two seasons, Buffalo was at the bottom of the league in pass attempts. I expect they will be around average in pass attempts.3 hour lunch said:

“I can tell the difference whether it’s a run or a pass based on the way you talk,” Lynn said to Herbert. “Just keep that in mind, OK?”

Yep. Passed the eye test for sure. Did you see that hit he laid on the defensive player coming at him?

Coach already said if T-Mobile is healthy, he's starting.

I was happy with what I saw today. If he just runs for the 1st down on that ugly interception they probably could have pulled out the win.
It'll be interesting if Lynn says the same thing after watching the film. Herbert was making throws that Taylor can't make. His poise against the blitz and being able to make plays out of nothing was impressive for a rookie. Obviously made some rookie mistakes as well. But I think they are better off letting him learn. Going back to Taylor will be a big mistake IMO.

Well, the whole league knows Tyrod isnt an NFL starter, perfect backup.
Let the kid play I say, he impressed me vs. KC.
Way better for the Charger fantasy players too.
The INT was terrible, he could of easily ran for it, but those mistakes will happen

I just liked the attitude and the calmness (except for the crazy int). He didn’t seem phased by the speed or complexity. He a couple inaccurate throws and the bad pick but he shook it off. At that level so much of the game is mental. Of course he has the physical tools- though those might be even better than given credit for. There’s not a throw he can’t make and while he’s not Cam Newton, you know a lot of DBs aren’t going to be happy seeing him barreling down at them on the open field.

I will say...he impressed me in the bowl game against Wisconsin...the long strides and decent arm. But didn't think he was ready for at least a year. Then I watched the 4th quarter and OT of that game and thought...whoa, maybe he is ready. He passed the initial eye test for sure.

You see him knock that LB out cold?https://twitter.com/nfl_dovkleiman/status/1307792876647124992?s=21

The dangers of trying to lay huge hits high aren’t just for the guy you are trying to hit. That was ugly for that LB

I added him in Dynasty to backup Dak. I used about 40% of my blind bidding dollars to get him. He looked really poised against KC and that spoke volumes to me as he is a rookie thrust into that start.

yeah, seems so. I was not expecting him to ball like this certainly not as a rookie anyway.
