This article makes the mistake of thinking the Pac-12 is a power conference

Welcome to Larry Scott's America

Lol no mention of Browning leaving

If I read one more article praising the great Justin Hubert, who is such a dud, I will shake and vomit.
When Justin Herbert decided to return for his senior season, he instantly made the Ducks the favorite to win the Pac-12. Herbert has the size, speed, and accuracy to make all the throws, and was the consensus No. 1 overall pick had he come out for the 2019 NFL Draft.
Wrong. When Hubert decided to return, he instantly made the Ducks the favorite for 4th place in the PAC North. -
Honestly bias aside is he actually that good?
Everyone talks about how good he is but I don't remember him much from our game. Wasn't he injured most of the year?
Has he ever actually done anything? -
He's a bozo who throws more deep balls than short, complete-able passes. He freezes up fills his socks whenever he faces an adverse situation. He is Jake Browning's brother from another mother.Pitchfork51 said:Honestly bias aside is he actually that good?

He was bad against ASU last year, missed a number of big throws.
He throws a great deep ball, is generally very accurate on high difficulty throws, but struggles at reads and touch on the shorter routes. He was hurt his senior? year in HS, didn't win the starting job until week 5? his freshman year at Oregon, broke his collarbone and missed 5 games his sophomore season, and last year had the worst receiving corps at Oregon since the '80s. One of those twatter analysts counted 52 drops last year. Probably the biggest issue with him, other than the drops, is timing, and perhaps that's related to experience. I dunno.
Go through these throws and tell me he doesn't have elite physical talent. It's a between the ears issue, maybe it's due to missing his senior year in HS and 25% of the games at Oregon. Also, look at the windows he's throwing into. There's hardly any separation at all. Gone are the days where Darron Thomas could throw to a dude without a defender within 10 yards and people would say "yeah but only cuz he was wide open", but now Herbert gets shit on because dudes can't get open? Okay. As a sophomore he was at 67% completion at over 9ypa. Go back through the stats and look at the P5 guys who do that each year. Lotta Heisman winners(not suggesting he will even be in the conversation).
