which... is just as concerning to me as someone who is afraid of getting hit after getting completely mauled by a terrible OL his first season.
Gabbert developed the ghosts, he didn't have them coming out of college iirc.
Herbert struggles with touch, deep ball accuracy, fades, and had lots of bats/INTs on balls thrown into the flat.

And that was against PAC12 comp, not exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to defenses.

Physically he has "all the tools" I just don't think he has "it".
Which really ended up being Gabs issues too. Dude had the size, arm strength, etc. Just didn't have the "it".

Sounds a lot like another Jaguars QB that got a big extension, only to be cut the following season. Who could it be........

Yeah... I'm not in love with any of the QBs in this draft really. Tua is great IF he doesn't get hurt again, and if he does is it a career ender?
Herbert was hyped up a lot last off season, so I went and watched him a lot this past season. Stayed up late to watch Oregon a lot. Was highly unimpressed.
Love was someone I didn't hear anything about until it came close to bowl season... Admittedly I ONLY watched his bowl game but again was unimpressed.
If anything I'm more keen on taking a flyer on a guy like Hurts, if that is, he falls to the 4th round.

Otherwise I'm pretty OK with taking on 2020 with Minshew and Dobbs. If we suck, then we suck and we'll be in plenty good position to draft Lawrence or Fields next year (or the next one season surprise QB like Burrow). We need to make sure our OL is good. Our weapons are solid and our D isn't a sieve. That is mission 2020, imo. Build around Minshew, if he falters, so be it. But I'd be pretty steamed if we use draft capital to move up for Tua or Herbert only to have Tua get broken behind an OL that isn't up to snuff or have Herbert show signs of bust as a rookie and be tied to them for 4 seasons without giving Minshew a legit look.
