Why Justin Herbert looked good today vs. Burrow

The basic reason was.....blocking. He got some pressure off the edges but the interior both gave him a pocket and let the Chargers run effectively. He threw a REALLY bad pick and also blew a easy play by literally trying to hand off to nobody but the big difference was protection.

Imagine if we actually gave Burrow a pocket?

If you going to single him out for bad plays.. lets be fair.. Burrow has a terrible pick and a couple WTF also.. I was impressed with  Herbert.. remember he is not the starter so not getting the same reps at all as Taylor.. to come off the bench and perform well bodes high for him.. we will see how it goes but I was high on him coming out of college and just like Burrow he showed promise with making mistakes..
