I get his numbers are good but I've got people on ESPN saying he'll be a top 3 QB by the end of next year...fansided saying he should be an MVP candidate right now when his team has 3 wins...

Herbert looks like he almost shit the bed with that fumble at the end, but the Chargers recover in he EZ. Was the play blown dead, because that TD didn't count and they don't say why...
Player who fumbles has to recover it to be a TD. If another Offensive player gets it, then they get the ball back at the previous spot. If it had gone out of bounds, it's a touch back Raiders ball. [Reply]

Yeah. I watched it several times yesterday, but rewatching it on youtube doesn't reduce the cringeworthiness. I didn't realize he went limp when his head was wrenched around. [Reply]

Herbert looks really good, I wasn’t sold after the first game, but I’ve been really impressed overall since then. He needs a good offensive mind to get him in position for team success.
Of course, if there are certain weaknesses in his game, he will have to deal with coaches who understand what those are better in his second season. But the pure talent is certainly there to be an elite one. [Reply]

Because I am positive we could have found Brady's home address, or what hotel he was staying in, at some point over the last 20 years.

If he played for KC (pre Mahomes) everyone here would be hanging off his nuts.
Yeah, people suggesting caution on anointing a rookie are being stupid.
Those that are calling him "elite" at this stage of his career are so much smarter. [Reply]

Look a perfectly reasonable and balanced take. Imagine that. [Reply]

Last night Herbert gets a helmet to helmet call from a bare graze touching of helmets from a Raider defender. His head didn't even move. That doesn't even cover the Tom Brady level of holding the Chargers OL gets away with all damn game.
Chargers defender has a long running start. Leads with his helmet. Knocks Renfrow TF out, literally, while Renfrow is being held up by other Chargers defenders and gets no flag.
Guess the NFL would rather the Chargers be good than the Raiders. Absolutely nothing new there.
QBs getting hit get called more than other players. The NFL protects QBs and has for a long time. I think it was a legit call. It was not a graze. That being said, the hit on Renfrow should have been a PF and possible ejection. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for the Raiders since they have a dirty player in Abrams. [Reply]

He does look good but everything that people said about Mahomes were based in past young QBs looking great early on and then defenses figuring them out. At least with Mahomes, it usually only worked for a half. Herbert may be a good QB for a long time. Then again, he may not. Are we forgetting that he got shut out on Sunday against the Pats? [Reply]
And what the Hell were the Raiders players doing trying to pick up Renfrow after that hit? Don't they realize that if it were a neck injury from that hit that they could have made it worse? [Reply]

I would take Herbert first with Tua and Burrow as a toss-up right behind him and Hurts as a promising 4th place with not enough info on him yet. There are some damn fine QBs coming up right now (But we still have the best). :-) [Reply]
