Mr FishDuck and the author of this article threw mud at Cristobal / Arroyo in countless articles during Herbert's 2-years as the QB when those two were the head coach / OC. There were many bold predictions of how they were destroying Herbert's NLF Draft status and probably even his pro football career. Endless disaster laden forecasts.
Now that Herbert has achieved incredible results in his first year in the NFL to say nothing of the accolades and awards...this pathetic duo(remember Mr. FishDuck has to approve whatever goes on his fanboy website so he is complicit in what is written in articles), decide in an article posted on the site in the last week...to totally take the attention away from all of Herbert's accomplishments(because it would require them to admit they were wrong) and redirect it to Cristobal being responsible for Herbert not being the #1 pick in the NFL Draft!?!
However, I always remind myself that Mr. FishDuck and in this case the author of this story, have no viable credentials of any sorts as in football coaching experiences at the D1 level; journalism experiences as in covering teams; no contacts to back up their claims; no access to the Oregon Duck football program in any capacity and the results...they just spew out their theories as if they are fact / reality.

so the Bengals were supposed to take Herbs over the Heisman Trophy winner and QB of the nat'l champs, Joe Burrow? oooooo kaaaaayyyy.
you can make a case that the Fish shoulda taken Herbs instead of TuaTags, but one season is not a career, and that might still work out in MIami.
FishDuck et alia better get use to 'conservative and boring' offense in Eugene for a least a coupla years. with the defensive personnel in-the-house and coming in, it would be dereliction of duty to run a high-risk, high-octane offense and turn the ball over four times a game.

The article was less of a hatchet job and more the ramblings of a dude on his third beer at halftime of the Fiesta Bowl. No team would have passed on Joe Burrow after the season he had, great point OMM.
Herbert is the steal of the 21st Century in terms of football talent. Every FBS team slept on this guy except Oregon and then every draft pundit did the same even after MC/MA took the handcuffs off Herbert in the P12 champ game and the Rose Bowl. And credit to Herbert- unlike the guys picked ahead of him, he finished his season upright and in the record books.

Draft expert Matt Miller says Trevor Lawrence's floor is what Justin did this year in winning ROY and torching the NFL.
You know what? I would trade #1 pick to San Diego for Herbs. I know I am biased, but he and Marcus are going to tear the NFL up next year. I don't think the Raiders are enamored with Carr. Marcus has so much good football ahead of him.
Justin is a future league MVP.
