Bill Connelly Ranks Best O and D players

Not a response to you, but it has always completely blown my mind how people tried to act like Herbert and Brown were mediocre under Cristobal. Herbert had really good numbers despite a terrible, and I mean terrible, receiver room, and Anthony Brown had his best college season at Oregon.

Brown was about a 55% passer at BC, his final year at Oregon he was 64% and accounted for almost 3700 yards and 27 touchdowns on a 10 win team.

In Herbert’s two years under Cristobal he was about 63%, 66TD:14INT, and over 6600 yards with a 21-6 record with, again, a terrible receiver room by decent program standards.

Oregon fans flooded the internet with this narrative until it became everyone’s reality and it’s insane, and draft idiots use it to justify that they didn’t all see the obvious talent Herbert had if you actually watched the film.
Great post. Anthony Brown was a putrid passer at BC. He was at least serviceable at Oregon. Forgot who the Oregon OC was at the time (I believe it was the dude who ended up coaching UNLV, Arroyo?)

Because, narrative.

It really was hilarious to me.

Justin Herbert was a 3-star prospect, IIRC he had ONE FBS offer. Oregon. And he went Top 5 in the NFL draft. Isn't that a really good thing to put on the resume of a coach? People really butchered Mario like Oregon took the consensus #1 QB recruit in the country and turned him into a line cook at Chipotle.
