That's EXACTLY the sort of concern that Anthony Lynn has with Herbert, fellas. That's another game where you just don't throw that pick or if you just pick up the dude on the blitz that forced the fumble, you probably win.
50 passes attempted and 16 points to show for it against a rebuilding squad w/ a new coaching staff that had been giving up 33/gm prior to the game.
It's moot since it appears Taylor's not playing again for quite some time, but we saw again why Lynn is nervous about Herbert out there. He's not moving that offense up and down the field and he IS making some pretty brutal mistakes at key times that have arguably cost his team both of the games he's started.

While I thought (and still think) Herbert will be a bust, I still thought he was clearly better than Taylor after our game.
Now, not so much.
