Maybe he doesn't have the best surrounding cast, but neither do the bottom half if NFL teams.
If Herbert ends up bieng better than Carr, it'll be 2 or 3 years down the road. If Davis is true to his word and gives Gruden the whole 10 years it might work.
Big gamble if you ask me.
It’s all a gamble brother. Sticking w Carr is a huge gamble, man.
Did you see the way he fucking shit the bed after the first series today? It was like he got a score on the first possession and decided thta was enough, he was done for the day. Absolute trash beyond that. Defense got us 2 takeaways and wtf did we do? I lost count of how many series in a row we went without scoring. Possession after possession after possession. Nothing. No movement, no creativity, no mental toughness. Every time Carr checked out of a play att he line, the new play failed miserably. Dude it was total, complete failure.
I don’t know about you but I can’t stand to watch that for another season man. Something has to give. We at least need some damn hope. Herbert would at least give us that.
You said you haven’t watched him. Go watch some games from last year and earlier this year. The kid is very dangerous. Serious arm talent, best accuracy i’ve Seen from a college QB in a long time. Plus he’s fucking huge and athletic. A good leader. You can’t teach any of that shit, so that’s the stuff I look for.
If I had to compare I guess I’d say the closest thing to him is pre-injury Wentz. Big, athletic, smart, accurate as hell. This kid’s a fucking biochem major or some shit and has a 4.0 man.
He’s not just the best of a weak class, he’s legit. I’m telling you now, we pass on him and we’ll fuckin regret it. That’s my story and i’m Sticking to it.
I’m the guy who said Bridgewater would be a better NFL QB than either Mariota or Carr, and even though I looked very wrong over the first 3 years, I may actually be proved right in the end.
I’m also the guy who said Gurley was the next Bo. I may have undersold him a little.
There’s nobody available i’d Take over Herbert. Not Foles, not Bridge, not Carr, not the dumbass in BAL. certainly not Bortles. And nobody else comin out of college this year. I’d pull the trigger on this kid in a heartbeat.
I haven’t felt this way about a college QB in a good while, weak class or not.
