    Oregon made it a game at least. Not sure how that receiver was able to take the ball away from the Duck defender after he was on his back, odd.

    Too bad the coaches couldn't have made the adjustments during the first half instead of at the half.

    Herbert doesn’t excite me. I don’t get the hype with him. Overrated

    Herbert is going to be very good in the NFL.

    Brutal game. By far the worse I've seen the Ducks play in quite a while. They looked like they all pulled an all-nighter. Second half was on track, but it was too late. They can finish strong though and get a nice bowl invite. Very disappointing game.

    Totally agree. He has all the tools and skills to be the real deal.

    While a tough loss this team is learning. Coming out like they did in the 2nd half was amazing.

    Totally disagree. Can't teach his pocket poise. Other Duck QB's have flamed out in the pros. Truly believe Herbert has a chance to be the best since Fouts once he moves on to the next level. It's all there. I think the Ducks would be wise to move more towards a pro style offense with him, and move away from the RPO to utilize his skillset better.

    This is not popular as an Oregon fan, but I dont think so. I think he’s incredibly over rated. Any time he gets pressured his throws are inaccurate, his deep balls are all over the place, he doesnt hit guys down field in stride very often. He’s got the NFL body, tall, strong, throws a good fast ball, but in the NFL he’s gonna have a lot of problems with Blitzes, I dont know if its coaching but I almost never see him audible out of bad plays, in fact sometimes its really obvious what the defense is doing and they run right into it.

    The one thing Ill give him a ton of credit for is when he sets his feet and fires up to about 10-20 yards he can throw it on a rope, which could translate. He’s definitely a heck of a lot better than the back ups Oregon has, but when I heard people saying he was likely to go #1 overall I really scratch my head.

    The great thing is he can still get better. I think he’s a really, really good college QB.

    Titans are a shitty run team. I still think he could be very good in the right situation. He has put that team on his back and led them to victory more than a few times. He had an amazing playoff game last season. He would be perfect in NE or NO when those QBs retire.
