I know people love Herbert because of his strong arm, but I'd rather have a QB who has pinpoint accuracy, can lead receivers properly, and put proper touch on the ball to make sure it's catchable vs being able to throw downfield an extra 10 yards.

While I do give props to the Chargers and Herbert being able to even come back in this game being down by 15 pts in the mid-3rd quarter, there were a handful of passes that he simply threw way too hard. It resulted in the receivers dropping "easy" passes. Reminded me a lot of Carson Palmer back in the day.
