Justin Herbert Oregon 6'6" 225
Jordan Love Utah State 6'4" 220
Jake Fromm Georgia 6'2" 220
Sam Ehlinger Texas 6'3" 235

Haven't decided just yet on my final ranks
I haven't done a deep dive yet on any of them, but what I've seen of Burrow really impresses me. He made so many elite NFL level throws against Alabama. Accuracy and ball placement have been off the charts good based on what I've seen of him. Of course if the Colts want him, they'll probably have to give up a lot of draft capital to get him.

Also, I don't have a good reason for saying it right now and I could entirely change my mind after watching him, but something about Tua makes me think he'll bust. Part of it I think is that too many of his big plays are him standing in a clean pocket for 5+ seconds to hit a deep ball for a big play or a score. He's not likely to have that luxury in the NFL, and he may not respond well to that.

I agree about Tua. Not a fan.

I’ve seen a lot of Herbert since I watch a lot of PAC 12. He disappears more than he should. The potential and talent is there. Just wondering why it’s happening. He did not rise to the occasion against Auburn and that worried me.

I was raving about him at the beginning of the season after watching him against Texas. He stepped up in the pocket well and found guys with great accuracy when under pressure. Stood in the pocket and threw even when a hit was coming. I like his quick decision making and accuracy, I think accuracy is the most important trait for a QB today. Also teammates seem to love him. I think he has played himself into the top ten though and perhaps past us.

Oh I’m not sold on Tua either.

I agree Herbert has all the potential of the traditional QB, size 6'6" 225#.
Has flashes of greatness then nothing. Perhaps with coaching ?

Burrow is a beast again tonight. Damn, I would love to have that guy on the Colts, won't happen though.

Tua got fucked up today, may be gone for the season. Reports are that he has a dislocated hip.

Totally agree, not a fan of Herby.

He’s done for the year. Wonder if that will affect his stock.
