When PR left we all knew we'd need a QB.. We knew we had to start the search and this is the start. Give him a year on the bench and some good coaching and hope for the best. He does have all the physical tools.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

If you're a new Charger fan, I'd encourage you to stick around here and join in the group. Lead the Herbert bandwagon and they'll jump on board soon enough.

I watch more UO Football than any other college team. I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised by Herbert. Tall, Strong, good arm, way more athletic than he appears to be. He's going to have much more mobility than Rivers brought, and probably just as strong of an arm. I feel like he was at times inconsistent.. but there are a lot of good traits, and I would guess that unless he comes in and blows Tyrod out of the water, he gets a redshirt year.
Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed we don't get a beast like Simmons on the D. He and James together would have been so fun to watch. An O Lineman would have really helped this team, Tevi or Pipkens at LT is a scary prospect. I would have gone that direction. But, I can't fault the team for going with a QB here, if they think he's a franchise guy, then you pull the trigger.

three head coaches in four years, he had no receivers his junior year, 52 dropped passes recorded on stats by his receivers, he lost confidence in his receivers and he did hesitate with his passes. His receivers not only dropped passes they broke off routes, Ducks had three WR coaches in three straight years. His most dependable target got injured and was out for the season early his senior year. He did not trust his receivers for a good reason. The kid is big, he has deceptive speed, he has power and has a cannon. Will he be the next Fouts? Nope, he will be the next good QB if the Chargers can handle him right and not throw him to the wolves with no talent around him. This may be my only post..... not impressed with Charger fans here.....

One thing that will be interesting... in many ways Herbert is the anti-Rivers. He is very physically talented, he is reportedly humble, quiet and reserved, he has a cannon arm but does not have the accuracy/antcipation that Rivers did. Will be fun to watch the team adjust to that after becoming so used to Phil all those years. The change should be pretty dramatic.
TGLike, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.
