Agree 100%. If I were a Chargers fan, I'd be thrilled with Herbert, especially where they got him.
I'm a Bengals fan though, and from that perspective I think there's no question we took the better player by a decent (not huge, but not insignificant) margin.
I just don't get the need to constantly compare/2nd guess when we're doing great with the guy we got. It's kinda like a 49ers fan in the mid 90s gazing longingly at Drew Bledsoe when they had Steve Young.
Bledsoe was putting up big bulky numbers on a ton of attempts and he did revive the Patriots, but obviously Steve Young was more efficient and doing bigger things.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
