Justin Herbert - Bolts Franchise QB Official Discussion

[Formula 21]

What’s Herbert’s floor? Tyrod Taylor?

Glad to see everyone’s looking at the positives of this Herbert pick. He won’t be asked to do much in the offense we’re installing. We have 3 QBs with near elite athleticism. I look for the new offense to take advantage of that.

Dude’s smart. Hard working. Will probably have the playbook down by the start of the season. Wouldn’t be surprised if he learns quick and replaces TyGod sometime this season.

I thought our OC was a Norv disciple and we would be running some flavor of the Norv offense.

If Herbert becomes the next Josh Allen, then props to Telesco for a great pick !!!

which is perfect.
mobility, misdirection, bootlegs while letting the Defense know we can threaten the deep end right?
kid threw a 60 year ball flat-footed.
it starts with the physical tools, and i have lots of reasons to expect JH to grow with pro coaching.
I really am fascinated
kid looks like a soldier needing a good general.
Zach Moss in the 4th and we're good

I concur.
Akers, Gibson, Vaughn, Moss anywhere

Our HC is a shanahan disciple.

Good stuff - worth your time to watch it. I feel like they figured out why he has a problem with the short passes. I hope the Bolts staff can see it too and correct it.

EDIT - it starts with a short clip of Simms talking about Herbert but don't click off when that's done - the good analysis is next..

Charge! believes he is a QB expert. He’s not but that’s besides the point.

One thing that probably isn't common knowledge among most folks here is that Hebert never did the camp circuit or had extra quarterback coaching. I think is worth mentioning in this day and age of private qb coaches working with kids in high school or even sooner, that the pre-draft process is the first time Justin has ever worked with a quarterback coach other than those on his teams. So some of the excellent throwing sessions at the senior bowl, combine, and pro day, may represent some real improvement and not just him being well suited to those environments (still likely part of it). I think particularly when it comes to footwork, he seems to have made some genuine improvement.

Self scouting Justin admits he needs to work on his footwork. Hmmm. humble yet quietly self confident.

Greg Cosell says mechanics, especially footwork is what makes fo consistent accuracy at the NFL level.

Good stuff, Score.

Ron! I'm so happy to see you. I hope all is well for you. - Couldn't resist the draft huh!

I'd like to thank the Oregon fans who joined and posted here. Thank you and welcome to the Powder Blues.

I can understand people not liking the pick, I don't understand shitting all over someone based on projection.

FWIW, Oregon won the Pac 12, and the Rose Bowl, and Herbert probably won't have another offensive teammate drafted. (maybe 1?)
-Compare that to Tua, or Burrow.
-Look what Love did at Utah his senior season with less talent around him...his numbers fell off. Herbert kept getting better.

I see a smart kid, who is a hard worker, and has all the physical characteristics you want.

Maybe he won't work out, but jeez, give him a shot.

Another note: He's not Carson Wentz or Josh Allen. Both of those guys ran a lot more. He's similar to them in size, and he's capable of running. But he doesn't run like that.

Tyrod will be the QB this year. And if he gets hurt, Stick might play first. That's how it may go. Who knows? I like his potential, though. 6'6" guys with arms like that, and mobility don't grow on trees.

Also (unrelated) It's BURROW .... NOT Burrows. There is no S.
