I dont even find it weird, he does it to honor his mom

in 2022 vs

Stanford
Utah
Arizona
California
The Bowl Game

2023

Washington
Stanford
Colorado
Arizona State

Justin Herbert didn't have a game in college that made you say OMG, had no problem getting drafted and we can all agree that robert getting hurt derailed him because that rookie season he was 100% looking like he was worth the hype. Every #1 pick is gonna get hype. I am not even saying trade up to go get him but people saying he is gonna be a bust because of finger nail polish, or because he cried when he lost is crazy.

Stroud had a hell of a game vs Clemson, he also was playing with top notch college WRs, Caleb hasnt had that, holding that ND game over his head like its the end all be all is short sighted

I'm not ready to agree that Robert getting hurt derailed his career. What derailed his career was his ego and inability to deliver the ball on time to the right receiver from the pocket.

I dont think anyone can say that his injuries had nothing to do with his downfall, other things were a part of it, but his athletic ability and speed dropped with his leg injuries which hurt him from being able to get away from pressure like he could that first year

That didn't derail his career. His inability to play at a high level did. Guys come back from knee injuries all the time.

He's kind of corny but I like listening to him doing media. But every now and then his narcissism comes out.

I can not stand RGIII, and I was one of his last supporters. I now feel like a scorned lover.

I will never understand why Kirk got so much more hate than the diva who refused to run the plays that made him good, never took accountability for his poor play, blaming his teammates instead, apparently spent more time in the weight room than the film room and never really committed to learning how to be a good QB. Kirk did none of this.

guys come back from knee injuries all the time, but RGII's was SEVERE . . . MCL, PCL, ACL, Meniscus and something else in a knee he had already had surgically repaired twice in college. He lost a couple steps for sure from what he was and another difference is that he relied on those legs too much . . . so he and his injuries were to blame.

Another thing that I don't get is the argument that, "he played w/ top notch wr's".. And so did Joe Montana. lol. You still have to process, read and throw accurate balls. Joe Burrow played w/ top wr's in college and he is still a hell of a QB. When Stoud sliced up Georgia that was a signature game that should have had him picked over Young I feel.

We will see on Caleb. It wasn't just the ND game but we'll see. I do wish the kid well cause he is from here and I will always root for DC area players.
