My biggest problem with Herbert yesterday was not the interception (though that was annoying), but taking unnecessary hits. He’s young so he’ll feel invincible but got to save yourself even if it’s fun to take out the opposing LB.

I'd still venture some caution on Herbert.
If he was relaxed/angry/carefree at Oregon, that's the type of games he would have.....see Colorado, etc.
The problems came when he pressed too much.
He has tons of potential. Lynn telling him at kickoff that he would start was a nod to Herbert's temperament.

Surprised the game was so close, D held up pretty well. Last 3 games against KC Gus has had a pretty good D plan. Herbert looked good on his first outing with some rookie mistakes like the pass to Keenan instead of running. I am not going to be " happy" that Tyrod was injured, but I am more excited to watch now for sure.

Herbert is such a cerebral player. If a rookie QB can achieve success this early its going to be a really smart guy. Im not talking about rookie QBs who come in and make so many plays with their legs that it hides their immaturity as a passer.
Herbert was really focused on passing yesterday. And did some things with his brain that showed me he can pull this off this early. I want to see him grow into that awareness he was lacking sometimes yesterday.

My understanding is that Lynn was not informaed of Tyrod's unavailablity until after the coin toss, so he could not have told Herbert any earlier than he did tell him.
Herbert seemed very much calm and under control yesterday, better in every respect than Taylor.

Just like in the past, We had control of the game as long as we kept Mahomes contained in the pocket.... in the pocket he is ordinary to good ...... outside of the pocket on the run, he is a wizard and there is no one better(wilson and Rodgers are close)....... in 2nd half, the defense was tired and gambling (and mel was limping) with stupid stunts that left huge gaping holes up the middle or to the right or left for mahones to run or buy time for hill to beat double coverage...... that same type of play is what has lost us every game with KC except the miracle game where we went for 2 points......
