After playing in eight games in each of his first two years, Herbert started all 13 games as a junior. Unlike the previous two guys, the Oregon QB never entered the Heisman race and could not quite measure up to the other guys statistically, completing just under 60 percent of his passes for 29 touchdowns compared to eight picks.

When protected and in rhythm, we have seen what he can do, however. Versus Stanford last season Herbert completed 17 of his first 18 passes and followed that up a couple of weeks later by coming up clutch against Washington’s tough defense.

While he only completed 60+ percent of his passes in only five games last season, he has flashed the ability to make special throws on the run and be that playmaker that can lead the Ducks to a Pac-12 title.

With what I think will be the best O-line in the country and a couple of dynamic backs lining up next to him, Herbert could produce big plays off play-action as well as carving up opponents with quick throws from the pocket.
