Peyton Manning says that when he was still playing that the drop-back QB was going to become extinct. This is saying a lot coming from him.

I was glad we got Herbert when the team drafted him. I knew there were things about him that were questionable, but I knew he had potential.

And theres also Norm Van Brocklin

Little known fact:
Oregon is tied for second among all college football teams with the second most QB's that went on to be NFL hall of fame QB's.
Who is first? Alabama, surprising, since they have a recent reputation for QB busts.

Trivia....
I love it.

I'd win fantasy games off the backs of Brady and Manning. While others were drafting exciting playmaking QBs the pocket passers were pulling in the fantasy points.

At Oregon, Herbert did a fair amount of running. I wonder if the coaches will utilize some of that running ability he has? Last year he ran a bit but didn't really have any plays designed for him to run.

Maybe Lynn was afraid he'd get hurt and have to put Taylor back in!

It's pretty clear that the Bolts will incorporate a platform of the offense that has to do with Herbert rolling out, and then either throwing or running, depending on what he sees. The idea is to spread the defense out while using Herb's mobility to give targets more time to break free or find seams.

In those kinds of situations, a QB as mobile as Herb can nearly half the time RUN for first down yardage. And 40% of the time, he can find a target that will move the chains. It will be nothing more than the Chargers' version of what the Chiefs do with Patrick Mahomes.

They say the O will be built around plays Herbert likes. I'd try to keep it to a low roar but if JH likes the keeper in some circumstances, give him a designed option.

^ This...to keep the LB's honest, gotta let Herbie run the rock on occasion...plus, if he sees an opportunity to scramble for a first down or a TD in an important, tight game, gotta let the kid use his discretion...

I agree. So a spy will need to be put on JH. Less defender to cover our offensive weapons.
