Through his first two starts and 92 dropbacks, Herbert’s 72% rate of on target throws and 81.7% rate of catchable passes rank 14th and eighth, respectively. He’s been blamed with 12 “bad throws” and his 15.2-% bad throw rate is 16th in the NFL, so right around the average and is only a hair behind Aaron Rodgers.

The fact that 41.8% of Herbert’s passing yards have come via air (as opposed to the yards that are picked up after the catch) is the fourth-lowest rate among QBs with at least 50 attempts. Only Dwayne Haskins, Drew Brees and Sam Darnold are getting a lower percentage of their yards in the air.
