Well we could always talk about Palmer and Ben switching teams and talking about how that would have changed things. That seems to be the nature of this thread....sort of.
This is exactly what I'm saying here. I don't at all look at the game I watched today and see Herbert as a qb that's head and shoulders above Burrow. He has two big veteran wrs that win a lot of 50/50 balls and was utilizing them well early when they were gifted with outstanding field position. A couple of his big second half throws were to targets that didn't have a defender in the same zip code.
To be honest, his pocket awareness looked horrendous for a big chunk of the game. He lost huge chunks of yardage on more than a couple sacks and it didn't seem like he had a clue what was happening until it was way too late. He stood there with a defender wrapped around hs legs, staring downfield while another defender came in and pasted him rather than getting rid of it to prevent the loss of yards. That's all stuff people consistently kill Burrow for on here.
