After hearing all the talking heads debating whether or not Herbo is “elite”, here’s a nice reminder that greatness takes time. Payton’s following season he went to the AFC championship game. And Justin has far less INTs than Payton during this period. The best is yet to come, BOLT UP!!!!

Peyton will have an entire wing in the HoF. LFGJH!
Awesome post!
Everyone in this sub knows Herbert is special and a top 5 QB. Media will start to pick up on it once we show some playoff success. Looks like we’ll get a shot this year and I honestly think we can beat the Texans or colts (looks like we’ll be the 5 seed and they’ll be the 4). I also think we matchup well against the Steelers and would beat them if we play now.
Hoping playoff seeding doesn’t change much this year here on out.
Anytime someone tries to discredit Herbert for not having playoff wins I’ve always used this as an argument.
Great to see the media finally bringing it up.
By this time Manning had already played in three playoff games. That wasn’t Herberts fault though, he’s had the worst coaches in NFL history some might agree. Lol Jim is Him though
Who is the guy on the left
Justin is *obviously* elite, but comparing counting stats (or per-game rate stats) for passing from today to over 20 years ago, really tells us nothing.
Herbert is great, if you cant see it and need stats…well guess this might help ya.
QBs ARE part of a team. There are a million variables that make comparisons like this garbage.
This used to be my main argument why we should’ve took Nabers. I thought Herb was perfect to follow the Peyton model to a Superbowl. With Nabers bring our Reggie Wayne, QJ being a MHJr lite (Sr’s resume is untouchable), and finding a TE or trading for Njoku as our Dallas Clark.
But at 7-3 with Joe Alt looking like a HoFer in the making and Ladd being the DAWG he is, I have never been more happy to be wrong. We’ll have a top defense with a running game defenses have to stop first. That allows us to pick our shots instead of spamming 40 throws a game expecting Herbert Hero ball. Teams that can’t stop the run automatically lose, and in close games like vs the Bengals – you don’t know if it’ll be a Herbert throw or a rushing TD for the game winner.
Plus, using an outside meta look at that type of team – there’s not a lot of DB’s that want to sell out and stop the run in the first 6-8 games of the year. It solves our chronically slow starts as well.
