2nd half yes, not 1st half

means he/the team adjusted to what they saw 

far better than the alternative

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...

And Burrow spent most of his college career struggling to beat out QBs.

Are you talking about before he had the statistically best year of any college QB, went undefeated, won a national championship, won heisman and was considered the number one overall pick halfway through the season?

Phil Snow said yesterday in his presser that they spent a lot of time scouting Herbert and that he was definitely in play if the picks fell a certain way.

 

Thoughts?

Agreed...I know this QB class is very highly regarded so I definitely wouldn't advocate passing up any of the top 3...but at the same time, I'd prefer we build up as much of our supporting roster as possible before we draft our presumed franchise QB.  I want us to maximize his talent while he's on his rookie contract, rather than drafting him and watching him get beat up behind a poor o-line or losing 35-31 shootouts behind a poor defense.  Then getting maybe one or two good playoff seasons in contention before having to pay his hefty second contract.

They didn't just drop Mahomes behind a leaky line and make him work to offset one of the worst defenses in the league. They put the toolbox together first.

I took a beating around here for saying dont take a nose tackle this high.... if your not a qb,qb protector and or destoryer im not interested in taking you top 7(generational talents excluded). The guy was always a pure nose...those who seem to think he was gonna develop into some pass rusher I want to have a word with..

Has he been awful? I dont think so.. has he been good or made a huge impact? Same answer. I wanted Simmons but it sounds like he is struggling as well

They had him rush more instead of play coverage. Snow said it in the presser. He was basically a defensive back all first half. Not his fault.

Simmons basically got benched. We got the more productive version of Simmons in the 2nd round. That was my big knock on Simmons though, it might take him a while to learn to play in the NFL, considering Clemson didn't really play him at a true position.

This.

 

Listen folks. We had a really weird training camp and zero preseason. Anyone jumping to any conclusions based on the first TWO GAMES of anyones rookie year is just silly. 

 

That said, Jeremy Chinn is a future hall of fame player.

Jeremy Chinn doesn’t need practice or preseason! #Chinning

Was the oldest damn kid on the field every week and still older than a lot of the young QBs in the NFL. Good for him for being a grown man playing against some college kids.

Keep reaching. He isn’t the first 23 year old, won’t he the last. Sounds like more players should sit out one year by transferring because it makes you the top player in the draft and you get paid? Nonsense...
