Justin Herbert Long Term

[ArrylT]

NFL Research: Herbert has 56 touchdowns (combined passing and rushing) in his first 23 games, the third-most by a quarterback in his first 25 games since the NFL merger. Ahead of him: Patrick Mahomes (70) and Deshaun Watson (57).

Those are now two very different career paths. Choose wisely.

I feel like this really just highlights the incredible start Mahomes had to his career.

No argument there.

Herbert has almost limitless potential. He is already worthy of the 1.1 dynasty pick in SF leagues.

He has been a little up and down this year but when he really does put it all together it is going to be scary. Definitely going to win a league MVP or two and maybe a super bowl.

I could see that. He's definitely a top 5 pick in SF

Mahomes got to sit a year and has one of the best head coaches of the past 2 decades. The start to Herberts career was just about the polar opposite.

He's my 1.2-1.04 in SF

Herbert looks like Trevor Lawrence will in a couple years when the Jags fire everyone (again). Love 'em both.

I think if I were starting a franchise from scratch, I'd take this guy over all of them.

Agree!

As you know, I absolutely loved this guy entering the league and he is even better than I thought. He has all the tools to be great for years to come in the NFL. It is so rare to see a player that lets the game to come to him but has the tools to step on the gas like he does down the field when needed. He is lethal with that hose.

His laser focus to the immediate task at hand is flat out incredible.

Hmm that's actually a pretty solid point. Some of the others have some concerns (injuries or off the field stuff) where I think Herbert is about as "safe" of a top option there is at QB. I still like others over him for dynasty/fantasy but he's still a QB1 for the foreseeable future

[Shankopotamus]

I see Brady with more arm talent. Hopefully the chargers get it together.

He doesn't have Andy Reid designing the offense, and he started as a rookie. He's bigger, stronger, and honestly, I think he's a better decision maker than Mahomes. Watching him going through his progressions last night, I was super impressed. Can't go wrong with Mahomes, but I would take Herbert over him.

Call me Old Fashioned, but I'll take the guy that has already won a League MVP and a Superbowl, and shown that he's up for lifting his franchise to make those plays on the biggest stages in the most pressure-filled moments.

Last I checked, the point of these franchises is to win the big games. Happy to re-evaluate Herbert in big-games... y'know... if he ever gets there.

Starting as a Rookie is a nice argument point. Mahomes went throw-for-throw against Tom Brady as a Sophomore in the AFC Championship game. What'd Herbert do? No offense, but give me that guy over "I've never wanted to tie so bad" Herbert who couldn't beat the Ruggs-less, Gruden-less Raiders to punch his own ticket to his first post-season in his 2nd year on the job.

(Y'know... that very same team that Mahomes put over his knee and spanked like a drum this season... twice)
