Same. I liked him in the California game. And I liked what I saw in his game against Utah. But other than that? I just don't know if I trust him as an instant starter. His completion percentage took a huge dive this year too. He doesn't really have big games that jump off the page at you either. I think he doesn't always trust what he sees out there too. 

I get the allure of his size and frame. He's a 6'6 lengthy kid with a decent frame to build into. And has shown some decent ability to get outside of the pocket and create some plays with his legs. But his accuracy needs some work. 

And I think he's going to need a year to get fully comfortable. I think if anything we need to learn from what happened with Gabbert and Bortles. Which means we would need another stop gap QB. Maybe that's Kessler in 2019. Maybe it's Manning. Maybe it's Flacco.

But if they have any intentions on taking Herbert. It would be best if he wasn't thrust into the starting line up. I would say the same for Haskins and Grier. But I truly feel both of those guys will be more NFL ready than Herbert will be. I could see those guys starting by week one or week eight depending on where they land and under what circumstances.
