One could argue Mahomes played in an offense that utilized his talent much more.

Oregon’s identity is run game and quick passes. We rarely let Herbert air it out. It’s tough to evaluate him because of this. I wouldn’t want him picking too 15 but if I’m NO, NE, etc I’d take a second look at him.

Why would you want Herbert to air it out more downfield when he shows inconsistent accuracy on downfield passes as is? It seems just the opposite to me & the offense was constructed to play Herbert's strength with more accurate short to intermittent passes while limiting the deep throws which he is inconsistent with.

I'm a bigger Herbert fan than most.

Right off, he has all the physical tools. He's a solid kid, so he isn't a question off the field.

He had a 67% completion percentage with 32 TD's and 5 picks this year. He measurably outperformed Eason in the same conference this year.

He isn't a sure thing, but QB is the riskiest position. I see him similarly to Josh Allen with a better completion %.
