And it was CLEARLY a designed play - you telling me a 10 year veteran in Taylor (who's always been steady and even once made a pro-bowl) can't execute a simple look-off? There was nothing remarkable about that play - Fenton just didn't play the coverage terribly well.

I mean...he was fine. But the throw he made in the 3rd quarter right past Mathieu (I think to Allen) on 3rd and 10 was the only throw where I thought "damn, that was a baller-ass throw right there..."

Then he throws 2 incompletions and the drive stalls w/ a FG. And the very next drive he unquestionably ****ed up and that pick is what allowed the Chiefs to stay alive. If he just tucks that ball he probably runs it to the 20 and that's absolutely what Taylor would've done.

I re-watched the game last night and really, Herbert was okay. I mostly just kept coming away from drive after drive surprised by how little life the Chiefs showed.

I don't think Herbert did much to show that he's some led-pipe cinch to win more games than Taylor over the next several weeks. And ultimately I think he can still learn a lot in that period before you hand him the reigns down the stretch.

As you said, the TD throw was 100% Fenton reacting to the up man and vacating his deep 3rd zone. It was nice throw but the dude was wide open because Fenton didn't get deep enough.

Furthermore, Herbert's terrible interception was likely more of a factor in losing the game than any of Lynn's play calling decisions.
