Herbert's floor could easily be 1:3.
Turnovers are critically important in the NFL and Herbert already committed one that had a direct influence on a loss.

Don't tout Tyrod's TD to INT ratio, gives me Alex Smith flashbacks.
I thought Herbert played well all things considered but there were only 2 throws that I was really impressed with (Keenan Allen over the middle in tight coverage + the TD to the back cone). Pretty pedestrian 300 yard game, majority of his throws were to the half backs and screen game. Big stat that I thought was extremely important was that the Chiefs defense didn't force any negative yardage plays until the 3rd quarter I believe. Our defense made it really easy for the Chargers to stay ahead of the chains and on schedule.
In regards to Herbert/Tyrod I would actually agree I think it is a little too early for Herbert. If the Bolts defense can consistently play like they did Sunday, they can win with either quarterback. Give Herbert some more time to marinate, I suspect the difference of QB play between Tyrod/Herbert isn't that large.
Now if Herbert comes out and starts again next Sunday and has another terrific performance, perhaps my mind changes.
