Marty Hurney would have drafted Herbert

[Waldo]

We can get another shot this year and probably next year at a QB. So many needs and so few picks. I never really looked at last drafts QBs hard, we signed Teddy and I'm fine with using him during a noncompetive window. One player wasn't making a huge difference overall anyways, this is the long haul folks.

At one point, Herbert was being looked at near the top of the 2nd round, would have been great spot

It was inevitable that wouldn't happen. There is always a run on QB's unless it is a true dumpster fire of QB talent in that class.

very interesting read

Watching Evans have his best game since 2017 against us makes that Bradberry ranking hurt a bit. Definitely should have signed him instead.

I think hindsight is going to be a motherfuger on that decision. The scrutiny on Shaq is going to ramp up to an extreme level if Bradberry plays really well this season.

I will say that it’s way too early to crown Herbert. I only saw the end of that game and his horrific interception that probably cost them the game. Easy first down if he runs (at the time he could have just fallen forward, no one in sight) and he throws into triple coverage. They were in KC territory already and Mahomes found Hill for a TD to tie it moments later. He also completed 2/3 of his yardage to TE/RBs. I’m not going to say he played awful but that decision was one of his knocks and it cost them the game.

One game is way to quickly to make any decision on a player's future......but this is the Huddle.

It’s like the Butker call. Hurney had his favorite and didn’t think about cap savings/long term or in Bradberry’s case position importance.

So true. I still think Brown will show up for us and I still think Hurney is bad for us.

The thing about Herbert is his cannon arm and decent accuracy. He allows you to threaten down field and take the top off the defense. You need explosive bombs down field if you want to aim at winning the SB. When you run into a KC, and the 4th quarter rolls around and Mahomes opens up down field, you need your QB to be able to answer. If you're playing small ball on offense then you're just waiting until you run into a team that will use a massive aerial assault to send you packing.

We need a QB who has a cannon for an arm, and can also make all the throws in the route tree with decent accuracy and consistency. With TB we don't get the high velocity passes, and bombs down field that arrive at the receiver quickly. Yes Teddy can take every ounce of strength he has and push a weird pass down field, but that is not enough against the big gun QBs.

Brown was never a pollished passrusher, that was one of his negatives. He wasn't projected to get sacks year 1, it just is needed because KK is out there laying eggs or on the bench again. Brown eats blocks and should allow the DEs to one on one matchups, which they are failing at producing. That's not on Brown.

He should have. Herbert was the best QB in the draft. 
 

But there was also a better cheaper option...

He was already gone at 6

Better than Burrow? I saw Herbert have too many “off” games against PAC 12 defenses... He definitely has arm strength, but I’m not sold on him yet...

He did, still not producing sacks though. Plus I think he is taking some LBer snaps...not sure because I haven't watched 22. I have no problem with Burns, the D is just a work in progress and we haven't seen it really come together yet.
