From the video
The May and Herbert are throwers, not quarterbacks. That's right. ... he waits a beat too long to throw the ball. His delay to make sure, in the immortal words of Tweety Bird, he saw what he thought he saw and gives the defensive back time to recover and contest the target.

Struggles with anticipation and processing; labeled a 'thrower' not a 'quarterback'
Matt Waldman characterizes Herbert as a 'thrower' rather than a 'quarterback,' noting that he struggles with anticipation and waits for confirmation before releasing the ball. This tendency to wait for receivers to be clearly open allows defensive backs to recover and contest targets, leading to stalled drives and interceptions. Waldman also highlights technical flaws in Herbert's footwork and a lack of high-level processing, specifically struggling with full-field reads and anticipatory throws in high-leverage situations.
