QB evaluation is hard.

I thought Stidham could be serviceable and that Josh Allen would be terrible.

I am not a good scout.

Your JR Ryan analysis were some of your best work

I was on the island with Herbert last year.

Herbert and Allen were very similar prospects

Big, mobile guys with absolute cannons and questionable production in college (which is where they differ)

Allen, as a prospect, was simply not accurate. Those types of guys rarely make it in the NFL. Herbert had a better shot b/c his issues were not as damning

Herbert had been absurd, definitely didn't see that coming.

I wonder what practice must have looked like where he hadn't won the job over Tyrod .

Here is what you failed to look at during accuracy he only had his full compliment of starters for half his Sophomore year. Neither of last 2 he had 2 of 4 starters any game. His Senior Bowl should’ve clued you in

Joe still isn’t best QB of the 20 draft.

I think they were starting Tyrod no matter what.

Tyrod has legit beef with LAC organization I’ve never heard of that causing a punctured lung.

I thought he was really held back in college by offensive play calling. Marcus Arroyo and Cristobal never really let him rip it a whole lot

I believe that Herbert will end up being better due to his physical tools. Burrow looks good but he has to start pushing the ball down the field

Justin Herbert is the man!

I picked the 1-4 Chargers today in the suicide pool. I knew the Jags really suck, and JH wouldn't let me down.

Yeah, I was way wrong on Allen. When I heard those accuracy numbers around the time of the draft, I figured he would be a bust. How many project type guys with the prototype arm/physique like that work out?

Herbert's NFL success is an indictment on the Oregon coaching staff.

Cristobal is not a good coach

I think the key for Allen is that they stayed patient and really built the team around him. He was terrible his first year and average his second but they never gave up on him. Herbert is basically Allen if Allen had actually been NFL ready

I liked Allen going to Buffalo because he was drafted due to the conditions they play in

People need to also apologize about Kyler. If he would’ve been on the Ravens last year people would’ve went he’s dreamy.

Zack Wilson better be drafted by the Saints first round. If they don’t Pittsburgh will get him and be set for a decade.

Sam Darnold.

I thought he'd be pretty decent.
