Stopping Herbert in 2021

[21&500]

Autsin Stadium, home for the Ducks, is very loud. He's played with loud crowd noise his entire four years in Eugene.

There you have it, he’s the prototype
Please submit, Justin “The Proto” Herbert as his nickname

You mean he was a Spaz?

You ever watch Rivers run?

Unfortunately. It is like a looking at a physically handicapped new born colt trying to stand/run for the first time.
This comparison does not do justice to the athleticism of the defective colt vs Phil.

He always made me think of an Ostrich. Love him though.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this - and I was almost going to start a thread on it - but what about...crowd noise? Herbert had the luxury of playing his rookie year with no one in the stands, so there was absolutely no distractions due to crowds revving up the volume. I wonder what it will be like for him in, say, Kansas City, when the crowd is going crazy and Herbie can't hear - or communicate - a thing. Is he used to that kind of noise? Does anyone else think this could be a potential problem?

I do not think it will be any more of a problem for Herbert than it would be for any other NFL QB with similar crowd noise issues. Herbert played his college games in a Power Five conference. There is crowd noise in those games as well.

Where Herbert could have a disadvantage versus other QBs is if our home games have a large percentage of opposing team fans, which would cause Herbert to be exposed more frequently to crowd noise.

On the other hand, without Lynn giving away huge leads with stupid strategies, crowds filled with opposing fans could be taken out of games if we jump out to huge leads.

Rivers 40 time: 5.08
Brady 40 time: 5.28

The visual is much worse than the time.

For both.... I hope JH runs the read option a lil more this year.

The biggest weakness of any QB who has made it to the NFL is 100 percent mental - the ability to read defenses and go through progressions. Herbert's worst games last year came when the opposing defenses confused him. Virtually every rookie QB struggles with it...

Man that Dolphins game where on third downs the Fins used that "Amoeba" defense with 6 or 7 "positionless" guys doing that crazy line dance. Made me fuzzy in the head just watching it. Can't imagine trying to decipher it.

In today's game with the emphasis on QB athleticism, I honestly don't see how Brady would get drafted, or even signed as UDFA. Crazy to think about, but am I wrong?

It was the most hilarious, I mean beautiful, thing that I ever witnessed on my short time on this planet lol. Oh man that was my QB.
