Sold on what though?
That he's a sure fire stud? Of course not. That he displayed a lot of positive qualities that you'd want to see in a young QB, and that his future LOOKS promising? I can't see how anyone could disagree.

How could you possibly know anything about the future after one ****ing game? A game which he pretty much lost by throwing an ill-advised pass over the middle, across his body?

What are your complaints? Aside from one boneheaded pass, that after seeing from a different view, you at least SEE what he was thinking. Aside from that, what's your complaint? Because i gave you a list of things he did well, now tell me what he did that was so bad?

One game is just .... one game. It takes time to qualify as the face of the franchise. But I will add that he very possibly gives them more upside that Taylor does, but again, it's just 1 game. Many people and pundits were claiming the same about Mahomes after 1 game, but he had to do it game after game to prove he was the real deal. Once he became so automatic, it made the the people that claimed he was so awesome feel awesome. We all felt Pat was going to be special, but it took time to prove it.

I'm not "sold" but I was very impressed with his poise.
I knew that he had better than "Ideal Size" and that his arm strength was above average but the most impressive aspect to me on Sunday was that he didn't wilt under pressure and either take off running or throw the stupid INT. I think he has all of the physical characteristics for becoming a solid NFL starter but it'll all come down to how fast he can process what he sees on the field to creating net-positive plays. |

Holy crap he probably gave him a tension pneumothorax.

The Chargers and Jets have the worst ownership in the NFL but as sad as the Jets have been since 1969, at least they haven't punctured the lungs of their starting QB.

Herbert looked good for a rookie making his first start, but I’ll leave it at that.
How many young QB’s have to look good early in their careers then regress before we learn to be patient and let things play out? |

Some of them play good for almost an entire season and then crash and burn.

People continually do this with young QB’s. It happens every year. Just like Baker, I thought Herbert was going to be a bust based on tape, and I still do. When Baker had his “great” rookie season and 75% of CP was sucking his dick, I tried to tell them and they chalked it up to me being a hater. He looked good for a rookie making his first start, but it doesn’t change that for me. |

This is what it boils down to, really. Same thing with Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson. People just want to be right about their college evaluations.

It’s not about being right about my evaluation. It’s about trusting it over one game. I was right in the end about Baker, so what does that say? |
