Wow...
Actually, Herbert is Oregon's best quarterback since Vernon Adams. Which isn't saying much.
according to Wikipedia every single scout outside of Eugene missed on this can't miss prospect.
"Northern Arizona, Portland State and Montana State all extended offers before Nevada and Oregon followed up with his only FBS offers.[5] Herbert committed to his hometown Ducks on October 9, 2015.[6]"

That adds up.

Debatable whether he's the best QB in the Pac. It's not saying much even if that's true.
But as to whether "scouts" whiffed on him, that's pretty clear. They did. The kid has all the tools you'd want. Size, arm, mobility. Yeah, he didn't do much last year, other than beat the conference champs. But he was pretty inconsistent too. No doubt about that. But one could also argue he's performed pretty well given the coaching circumstances he's dealt with.
So, college scouts did miss him. Which is hardly surprising. The guys who get paid to do it in the NFL fuck it up at least as often as not.
