I get it. He looked good. But most of that was our own goddamn doing. Hitchens blowing the RB assignment by almost 35 yards, Thornhill missing an easy INT. We also didn’t know he was playing so we had zero prep or knowledge about the kid. Truthfully the kid got lucky.
They have to seriously dumb down the playbook for him bc he has very little experience or knowledge. If this was a normal year, then year I’d say do it, but he’s still very green mentally.
I would try to stretch this out til about mid season. Give Herbert more time to learn the playbook.

That's a fair point. The OTAs no, but maybe drilling into him running outside of the shotgun makes sense
