  1. Got my tickets, bringing my HS son from pdx, OR.  I don't think I saw this on the thread...are there any tailgates that aren't $100/per person for some bbq.  I would love to take him to hang out with some fellow Bills fans that doesn't require an online ticket purchase.  Don't get me wrong, happy to contribute with my fellow Bills fans but a VIP BBQ seems a little much

    I hate doing the whole school thing but has an Oregon qb ever been good in the nfl?

    Well I went to Colorado, grew up in the Cuse, so I am a more recent UO fan.  But I think that Dan Fouts was a pretty good NFL QB.  Since him there is a lot of mediocrity, but Herbert is not a Chip Kelly QB, he played in a pro style offense and has a huge arm, size, good mobility.  I would say reading a defense and occasional accuracy issues are the biggest knock on him.  From everything I saw this year there are not leadership issues or vocal team leader issues.  He is a really good dude who loved his school and loves football.  He could compare to JA17 coming out of Wyoming.

    I sat right between the Dallas Scouts and the Falcons Scouts and they were both talking him up...

    He is huge, hits really hard, can move, but more than all of that he seriously leaves it all on the field.  Total effort.  And from my limited view was the heart and soul of that defense which does not have a ton of playmakers on it.

    Such a waste of time.  The best part is it’s probably a painkiller or some weed.  But at least it’s not the devil’s lettuce!

    I mean I hate the Pats but at some point, when do you stop being responsible for grown men making bad decisions?  And honestly, how much of the population does the same extra thing on a daily basis?

    I hear you...but you could also come at it from the angle of the character of the players that you bring in help define (or at least inform) the integrity of the organization.

    Yep, for sure. I think that also just kinda happens in a class like this where there's so many relatively high-level QB prospects. People will beat other QBs down to raise the guy they like up.

     

    I'll be astonished if Herbert slides out of the first round and pretty surprised if he slides out of the top 15. I expect he'll be the 3rd or 4th QB taken (think it's between him and Love). I just personally am not relatively high on him (still a 1st round grade, but just barely).

    I would be shocked if he fell out of the first.  If he had gone last year he may have been a top 5 pick based on the hype

    To me, Herbert is no worse than the third best QB this year and I'd probably take him before Tua.  That being said--and having seen every one of Herbert's college games--there is something about him that's a little bit off.  He had a very good career at Oregon, but with his tools (off the charts) and the talent around him, he should have been better.  I don't know what the problem was...if it's a mental thing or, as I suspect, that Oregon's pistol offense is just a bad fit for him.  To me, he's absolutely worth a first round pick based on his size, arm talent, mobility and brains (as opposed to football IQ), but I'm just not sure he's a top five guy.  I'll be shocked if he falls out of the first round, though.       

    I too watched all his games and live in Oregon and I hold the belief that Marcus Orroyo messed Herbert up this last year.  He regressed from his JR year.  I think that with proper coaching/QB coaching he will be a good-very good starting NFL QB.
