He's a good QB and he'll throw for a lot, but he doesn't have that "field general" personality/mentality that I see with guys like Joe Burrow, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning.
Same way I feel about Herbert. We got the right guy.

Especially in the chemistry area. I also think I notice more of a resolve by the whole team to put it all together. I don’t think we’ve even remotely seen this offense reach it’s potential. Joe needed some maturation centering mostly around taking what’s there. Definitely the crap OL. The offense has been strapped because of the need to get the ball out to protect Joe. It’s been strapped because of the offensive line’s limitations. I think with an above average or top 1/3 tier OL ( I think is attainable) the offense can take off. Maybe there’s a better comparison but Joe,Tee,Mixon,and JaMar remind me of Kurt Warner, Issac Bruce, Faulk, and Terry Holt.
The secondary will have 3 new starters. It’s an unknown. We need a better offense.
Agree on the Offense not reaching its potential yet. I don't even think they have scratched the surface of what they can do with a
decent OL in front of Burrow and imagine a running game to go along with all these weapons? The greatest show on turf is a fair
comparison on what they can become.
Also, pretty sure we only have 2 new starters in the Secondary in Dax Hill and Nick Scott. Dax I have high hopes for and Lou brought
in Scott for a reason, he is smart, likes to hit and is fast. Chido, CTB and Hilton are most likely the rest of the starters in the Secondary.
CTB got his feet wet and played well once the pro game slowed down for him and played in his natural position as the Left Corner. He
isn't a new starter, he started games as a rookie.

However, you got to have a special kind of respect for a QB like Burrow and his realization that he is part of a team. Hope he follows through with it.
Same way I feel Harley. Proud of my QB, he just wants to win and believes he needs his weapons to win. That is why Tee will be here
along with Ja'Marr, plus their contracts won't be at the same time. They offset each other which makes it all possible. I just hope we can
extend DJ Reader in all of this extension talk. I think we will, as we didn't draft a run stopping DT.
