But he has the equivalent of 1/3 of an offseason and two weeks of practice, all with backup-level reps. And he looks good.
None of this makes any sense, which is just how the NFL likes it. Best reality show on TV and all that.

Herbert intrigued me. Watching Oregon games the ceiling was obviously there, but the consistency wasn't. He also played in 4 different offenses while there, which is going to have an impact. He was guy that with the right coaching you could see succeeding.
Overall, though, I 100% agree that we don't know shit about quarterbacks. The list of guys succeeding while going against what we thought we knew just keeps growing.
