Herbert has the better stats, but barely. It might as well be a draw. Certainly not enough of an edge to make you choose Herbert over Burrow if the draft was redone.

In the interest of fairness, the rushing stats are incorrect. He had five rushing TDs last season, so he has 37 overall TDs in his first 16 games. Herbert has been better through the first 16 games, that’s not super debatable. However, Burrow is playing on fire this season and I would suspect that he will finish the season as a binaries top 10 QB.

I love Herbert, I’m a huge Oregon Ducks fan, but Burrow was the right choice. He is very, very good. I’m thrilled to have him quarterbacking this team.
