This will be the biggest test for Herbert to date. If he can do well against a very tough Washington defense, it will be a huge addition to his resume and will essentially cement him as the QB1 in the 2019 Draft (should he choose to declare).
you want to draft a perfect QB prospect with no warts? they don't exist.
peyton manning had questions coming out. could he win the big game? he got destroyed by florida every year and that was a real question. which ended up being semi fair to question in the pros too for many years.

drew brees was short
russel wilson was short
aaron rodgers came from tedfords system
etc. etc. etc.
Andrew Luck,John Elway and Tim Couch coming out really had no warts.

Tom Brady was not athletic enough and he had a weak arm. My favorite comment from a scout was that he couldn't even throw a spiral.
duck fan here, i've watched every herbert snap, also went to HS games could be a good year for him to come out if the giants in the place they are that would be an amazing landing spot instead of the Jets and browns like recent years.
Herbert is really special and seems to somehow get better every game, Oregon is in a rebuilding year and he's elevating the entire team to a competitive place. Washington is full of a team peterson built but oregon right now is bits and pieces of 3 difference coaching staffs.
pros
- Very big and strong kid, he looks like an athletic big ben out there.
- Deceptively FAST, long strides. He can run really well when he needs to.
- Pocket awareness has been up and down but he's gotten a lot better, he's impressed here the last few games but still could improve.
- not a great group of receivers right now for oregon, mitchell is his best option and our senior TE transfer #85.
- ball placement and timing has been the biggest improvement between last year and this year. He's making throws that I've never seen an Oregon QB make.
- Beautiful deep ball and arm strength.
flaws
- sometimes doesn't progress through reads and sticks to his first, he seems better this year but still comes up.
- forcing the ball instead of throwing it away at times leads to INTs.
- demeanor, sometimes he seems a little too passive when i'd love to see him with that killer instict in his eyes. this isn't a bad thing especially if they giants like eli but I'd be worried about OBJ and Herbert's chemistry a bit.
anyways enjoy the game, hope herbert is a giant next season, if not hope you get another guy that can utilize barkley, OBJ and shepard.
Right tackle. I think he moves to OG in the NFL. As physical as it gets, really good run blocker. Locks on.
EDGE #97 Jalen Jelks
Long and wiry with the frame that will add bulk. Already plays with a physical, yet bendy and agile style. Has come a long way in the past year.
WASHINGTON
*S #7 Taylor Rapp
Might be the best S in the country. Does everything. In the box, deep coverage, smart and instinctive. Doesn't miss tackles.
OT #58 Kaleb McGary
Love the combination of frame and natural athleticism. Really healthy mover. Plays as hard as anyone, a lot of downfield blocks. Has cleaned up technique.
There are 10 NFL teams represented at the game that are looking at Herbert. Elway is there. I sure as hell hope the Giants are one of those teams. He got off to a somewhat slow startbut damn, he looks like he has all the tools. Washington has a very good defense and Herbert looks like the best player on the field. He’s getting better and better every week.

is like a combination of the best of Josh Allen (arm strength, physical strength, and mobility) and Josh Rosen (accuracy, poise, pocket presence). He is also apparently an academic All American majoring in biology.
I do worry about his propensity for interceptions, but that is typical of college QBs with rocket arms. They are always trying to squeeze the ball into ever tighter spaces. he also has an elongated throwing motion.
But he's nonetheless quite impressive from what I've seen so far. I can't believe he'd stay in school if he was the consensus #1 pick, especially if that meant he could join OBJ and Barkley.

There was also arm strength concerns with Brees.

Great name for an NFL shit kicking Guard. You just got Throckmorton'd
Back injury week of the Auburn game leading up to week 1. Surgery. Will be back at Washington in 2019....he was already an injury red flag
Chance? Sure. This years edge rushing group and DT group will be very strong. There will be talent available round 2.
Unimpressive performance so far.
Two in a row. Washington has a defense, unlike many teams in the conference.

I think you are thinking of anger management. Buddy Rydell?

Nevermind. Missed the dog part
The first half wasn’t great but that play makes up for a lot of misses.

Yeah but can you come up with a catchy slogan for losing that rhymes with Dwayne or Haskins?
Nope. Just wins. Many wins with Haskins.

I would prefer Herbert at this point.
Shit. I was figuring Washington would score at least a FG
He looks better than Darnold did to me.
