transient Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Herbert certainly showed a lot of moxie last night. He was clearly in a lot of pain and despite that was able to make those two great throws on the TD drive. I haven’t watched him a ton, but when I have he’s always seemed kind of emotionless. One of the things that elevate Allen and Mahomes is their competitiveness, which is clearly evident in their actions and behavior… their teams feed off of it… Herbert seems pretty vanilla in that regard to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to get paid a ***** ton of money either way. He wants fully guaranteed because he runs and gets hurt…that’s his game. Will see have that translates to getting another team to do that.

I think Josh Allen is fantastic. I think that Patrick Mahomes is too. Justin Herbert is great but is less accomplished at this point. They are all a little different but QBs that you can consistently win with. Bills fans, Chiefs fans and Chargers fans should be thrilled. Agreed but um 😐 can I still call him Kermit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanoros Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 9 hours ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: Herbert lacks agility that the other two have. That's the only reason I can come up with as to why he seems to refuse or be unable to make plays with his legs. He also doesn't even scramble behind the line much either. Not a lot of "secondary reaction" plays. Not like Allen and Mahomes anyway. That said, in terms of just pure throwing ability, reading the defense and executing the play as designed Herbert is second to none in that regard. Herbert’s next step is learning pre play where he wants to go, and manipulating the defense to make the throw more open. Herbert goes through his reads and very fast, but when they are covered, he’s out of his element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The difference between the 3 QBs I feel is Mahomes and Allen can do more when things break down around them. Herbert is step behind them in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's starting to get to the point where Herbert just isn't a runner at all. It's one of the baffling things about him. Maybe @Alphadawg7 is correct about him not wanting contact. He doesn't threaten first downs with his legs. Even Mahomes has used his legs for first downs a lot more than Herbert the last couple of seasons. Although thus far this year Mahomes has yet to do so.

DasNootz Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The Chargers and Herbert are a photocopied version of the Bills and Allen. They're really similar, but not quite as sharp. Mahomes is a point guard playing QB that can also throw it a mile. His ability to elude tackles and throw from any angle is unmatched. Allen and Mahomes are different QBs, but both are winners and the best in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everett had just made back to back receptions IIRC. One for a lot of YAC. Dude looked gas on that goal line play that ended in the pick 6.

I forget the exact stat but in 2020 or maybe the last two seasons no QB had converted more 3rd and 10+ with their legs than Mahomes. He'll take off an run. Herbert just doesn't do that.

Big Turk Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, H2o said: Mahomes and Allen are basically even to me. They both make all kinds off script throws, using different arm angles, are accurate to every level of the field, and their arm strength allows them to make throws into other windows that other QB's just can't. I do believe that Josh is the better athlete of the two, and therefore more dangerous. But as far as actual QB play, throwing the football, reading defenses, and whatnot, I have them dead even. They are clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the QB's in this league. Herbert is still growing as a QB. He's got every tool you would want in a Franchise QB. To me though, every time I watch him play, it just seems like he doesn't have that same killer instinct that you see with Mahomes and Allen. If the game is close in the end, and you need a single game winning drive, Mahomes and Allen are by far the best in the NFL. Herbert just doesn't seem to have that same fire and that "it" factor to me. He will have a long, successful career in the NFL. But right now, I don't put him in the same tier as Allen and Mahomes. Except Mahomes seems to have INTs dropped like magic when he throws balls directly to DBs. "Stonehands" Samuel dropped two wide open INTs on balls thrown right to him last night. Mahomes tied for NFL lead with Ryan in 2020 with 19 dropped INT's, had an "off" year with 10 last year and is picking up where he left off this year. Meanwhile Allen is having DB's making diving INTs and toe tap INTs on the sidelines falling out of bounds, SMFH Edited September 16, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralonzo Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Allen used to gun it a lot more, it made for tougher catches for his receivers but also for DBs. Credit Allen for throwing a more catchable, YAC-friendly ball for the uptick in INTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Taking off my homer glasses...Patrick Mahomes probably gets the edge over Josh Allen because: He has been elite for 4 full seasons. Allen took a few years to develop, and has been elite for the last 2 seasons. His team has a 4-1 edge in head-to-head matchups, including twice in the playoffs. He has a Super Bowl trophy and an MVP, while Allen is still chasing both. Herbert is well below both guys. He makes some great throws, and is clearly a QB on the rise. But there are times that Allen/Mahomes simply cannot be defended. I've never seen him hit that level. Not to mention, he still hasn't even led his team to the playoffs. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Irrelevant Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 After watching last night's Chargers/Chiefs game I was both impressed and underwhelmed by both QBs. Herbert threw some great passes late, but was inaccurate early. He also threw the egregious pick that decided the game and in the direction of a completely gassed receiver. Mahomes' crazy athleticism is something to watch, but he threw a pass into the endzone that he was very lucky didn't get returned 100 yds. for a TD. Neither team had a pass rush that is as scary as Buffalo's. Overall, the Chargers were more impressive, and the last ditch on-side kick almost worked.

Actually should have 4....2 drops by "Stonehands" Samuel, a phantom illegal contact penalty erased one and offsetting penalties erased another. Allen is what you would get if the best scientists in the world all got together and built the perfect QB in a lab and then went through like 4 or 5 prototypes before getting to the finished product.

Paup 1995MVP Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 14 hours ago, Big Turk said: Allen is much more elusive than Herbert is when he has the ball and is running. If you watched Allen run the 40, it was clear he could easily gain at least 0.2 seconds on his time simply by starting properly...he had one of the worst starts to a 40 yard dash I have ever seen. Herbert has the ability to move but definitely isn't fluid like Allen is and doesn't have the ability to make defenders look silly the same way either by making them miss. Herbert and Allen are not in the same discussion. Allen is just better in all facets of the game. It was obvious after watching Herbert last nite. The Chargers are going to turn him into a dink and dunker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
