Herbert's upside limited by pass attempt dependency and receiving weapons gap.

Justin HerbertQBLAC

Despite having the best offensive line and offensive coordinator of his career, Herbert has only been great twice, both years averaging more than 39 pass attempts per game; the source hasn't seen evidence he can be a standout in yards per attempt, and while he's a better player than Tua Tagovailoa, his receiving weapons (Ladd McConkie, Quentin Johnson) are not comparable to elite options like Tyreek Hill or Jalen Waddle; the source thinks he's really good with a chance to be great but doesn't want to take the first quarterback in that tier.

And both of those years, he averaged more than 39 pass attempts per game... Then again, Ladd McConkie, Quentin Johnson, they're not Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddell.
