I don’t understand the Herbert hate. He’s done everything right on the field, and off the field he says nothing stupid, does nothing stupid, and has the undying support of every one of his teammates.

[@julianburrell5058]

It’s literally only because people get tired of hearing about how good a QB is when he isn’t on their team. Guy never says anything out of pocket and is locked in when it comes to doing his job, so they have to claw for a reason to dismiss his ability.

Charger fan here. We all knew Justin was truly carrying us by November. He had to play elite level to keep us competitive in games. He got way to much shit after the Cowboy game, but his play wasn't that bad. Our team was that bad when he doesn't play 110%. And then after IR, we all saw how bad our team really was. Justin was making a bottom tier team and average team. We were the AFC Panthers with an elite QB in 2023. And apparently Ben Johnson would only consider HC for the Chargers, Pete Carroll tried to get the Charger job, Harbaugh came to the Chargers first. Why did all this happen? Justin Herbert.

[@guyincognito320]

Herbert is every bit as good as Mahomes, he's just on a worse team. Harbaugh wins wherever he goes, he'll get Herbert the spotlight he deserves.

@@dandeitch3459 There's a non zero possibility that much of our roster looks significantly better with proper coaching. I think that may be the toughest job for the incoming staff.

Anyone watching should know Herbert a stud who’s really carried a lot of games with crazy throws and bottom 10 OL health/play often, little separation in scheme, playing through some injuries-> toughness. I was on Tua > Herbert and was instantly taking that back a game or two into his rookie year. Harbaugh should love this man.

[@nalcon1]

Harbaugh is a gem! I'm most happy for Herbert. And of course the team and us fans. It's been 47 years for me. I think Herbert is the best QB the Chargers have ever had. Yes, I said EVER!

[@jimclaus1576]

Herbert definitely is the Chargers most talented QB. To stand still with your feet planted and throw over 60 yards… lol That’s a cannon right there. And I’m thinking next season… Herbert will have a career year. Maybe 5,000/45 or more TD’s.

[@ExploringWithBenandSam]

As a Duck fan, I was worried that Herbert would get put in a bad position, but man he has been lighting it up in the pros. A team's win/loss record, while the QB takes a lot of blame, is not solely on him. His stats back that up as you said.

[@bc_qbeval]

Justin Herbert pretty much has a .500 record while having the most injury prone offensive cast of any QB and never having a top 20 defense in his career. In Herbert's situation, Mahomes is the only QB in the NFL who would do better than 30-32. Herbert has to win shootouts on an almost weekly basis. If Herbert was in Burrow's situation, he'd already be a Super Bowl winning QB. In the '22 and '23 playoffs, Burrow had a top 2 WR duo (Chase, Higgins) and his defense never gave up 25+ points over SEVEN playoff games. Keep in mind, the Bengals defense faced the Bills, Chiefs 2x, and the Rams in the Super Bowl...never gave up 25+ points. It's crazy how Burrow is considered top 3 and Herbert is considered overrated.

[@bmdub]

I honestly question if even Mahomes would do better than 30-32 having to deal with that football terrorist of a coaching staff. The main difference is Mahomes may not have been so quietly supportive of the three ring circus going on around him. I just imagine Mahomes pulling off his amazing game winning drives only to go to the bench every time and watch his D give it right back to end the game.

[@kev-hu8lh]

iN FIRST 50 games, Justin Herbert has set an NFL record with 14 game-winning drives and 11 fourth-quarter comebacks. Meaning he had a game- winning drive 48% of his wins. For context, In the same time frame, Patrick mahomes who has been dubbed the "comeback kid" by some has 6 game-winning drives and 6 fourth-quarter comebacks he has a game winning drive 14% of the of his wins in his first 50 starts. So Herbert in his first 50 starts has 48% chance of game winning drive to mahomes 50 first starts at 14% a whopping 34% difference higher PM **Personally, I have watched his defense lose about 10 others after JH10 drove down and scored, while Mahomes' defense 7TH helped him win his first Super Bowl. Herbert's defense, on the other hand, has consistently ranked 28th, 32nd, 30th, and 27th throughout his career.

i am both a Packers and a Chargers fan, this season i had more expectations for the Chargers to go far while the Packers figure things out. But ironically it took the Chargers meetup for the Packers to figure things out and for the Chargers to completely fall apart. And i have always liked Herbert as a QB. From his background and him being a chargers fan growing up. But at the end of the day football is a team sport and this season showed that the Chargers were not clicking as a team, and a big part of that was the lack of catches and the coaching. Hopefully this next season will be different and we can see some improvements. Either way i am looking forward to next season

The Chargers need to protect him better. Watching him run around and drop dimes is fun but that's shouldn't be the norm. When the defense gets fixed he'll have more wins. But WORST CASE SCENARIO! Chargers get everything in line for 2024 and Herbie gets injured in Week 1 or 2. Oline needs to be fixed!!!!

Its because people had so many bad takes and bad process scouting him coming out. The only difference with this and the Josh Allen hate is that Josh team has made the playoffs so many times but both guys have to deal with the same hubris from know it alls.

[@BasicBobby]

Yeah, I actually work in pro sports R&D-different sports but seasoned evaluator with the math and with the gut feel. And Herbert is head and shoulders above any QB in the league aside from Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen. Jackson isn’t even close, like Purdy, Tua, Goff, Hurts, he’s a good quarterback with a great system, who fits his coach’s system and game plan well. He just looks and plays differently, and his system operates differently. Herbert, Allen, Mahomes, and soon-probably Stroud-have the arms, ball control, and IQ to tear apart virtually any defense they encounter with minimal support. Their legs are as valuable to their passing games as it is to their running game. They present far more problems for the opposing defense to cover than anyone else. If were to do it analytically, you’d control for the amount of support their teams give them, and isolate the factors they actually control when evaluating and projecting their performance. Herbert is able to drive down the field, even with minimal support in blocking, running or even receiving. His arm, IQ, processing speed, accuracy and body control help him make a wider variety of throws than anyone besides Allen and Mahomes. His athleticism, size and speed make him elusive and keeps the defense honest. If you have him even a decent pocket, his tools eliminates a chunk of defensive players from being effective against him. This generation, it’s Mahomes, Allen, Herbert and probably Stroud who are the real talents who can and will win anywhere.

Herbert’s done more than anyone could ask for. He’s broken all time passing records. Only knock on him is he hasn’t won anything important. That’s hardly his fault, his defense has been terrible. He doesn’t play defense though. He can only control what he does passing the ball, and again, he’s been so good he’s broken all time records. What more can he do.

I have herbert as a top 5 qb but how in the world is he underrated? Dude is literally glazed by every media pundint in sports besides Acho the chargers are predicted to win the superbowl or the afc west every year since Herbert got there by every NFL media site

[@nickigillhespy1852]

from what I seen from the media pundit, they put him down every chance they get even when he has had a gd game, I think poor coaching and not drafting well so he can have a gd oline and injuries, omg u can't win a game with alot of injuries around you

[@FairSide1]

I think he is top 5 bc there’s only like 4 other QBs that you can argue are better than him but I think he does need to put a really good season together coming up to solidify that.

[@nickigillhespy1852]

well if he had players that weren't injured all the time, and him not injured and a better oline and coach yeah he can have a good season. This upcoming season will prove what it will be, also a defense who doesn't let the opponent score alot of points and can stop them scoring at the last minute

Ome thing I've noticed watching games as a Chargers fan is how many batted passes he gets. Idk why but it just seemed that he'd have at least 1 batted pass a game and 50% of the time it turned into a pick.

[@nalcon1]

Because the D line is getting on him quick.

[@ernestogastelum9123]

@@nalcon1 he didnt have that problem though early in his career. specially in his rookie season when he had defenders on his face

[@user-ug8iu9wg4r]

That's because defenses know Chargers are going to throw. They prepare for the throw and put people in place. Chargers had no run game. Early in the season, an analyst said that "Defenses were playing Chargers as if they don't have any RBs, even on run plays"

[@acb9896]

No run game, O line made out of paper mache' and no confidence in your coach will do that to a guy. Thanks for noticing, tho.

[@bmdub]

Along with what everyone else said it was also an issue of receivers struggling to get open and so much of the passing game having to rely on short passes. When the D is prepared for it they're ready to get their hands up quick and dbacks start creeping up closer to the line in a spot to catch those deflections.

Lamar is becoming more effective from the pocket every year. Being a running QB delayed his pocket passing skill development.

honestly i ddint even know justin herbert is GOOD QB till jim come as coach, so i guess he is super underrated. but cant blame anyone his team is so shit nobody really care enough to look

[@markphillips8097]

Tua has league leading stats and people say that they don't matter so do the stats lie or not ,you are a leaving passer or you are not can't have it both ways, if Herbert had tuas stats they would be crowning him the next great one absurdity

[@caseyhonigbaum]

Arguing Tua over Herbert is interesting. Same draft class, but Herbert has almost 5,000 more career passing yards than Tua, averages 40 more passing yards per game than Tua and has thrown 33 more touchdowns than Tua. So clearly the stats don’t lie lol

[@guiseppejacobs2357]

Herbert’s 2021 season is better than the season Tua just had, the difference is Herbert has never had one of the most creative and innovative offenses we ever seen and only mange’s to put up 7 points in a playoff game

[@Ice717]

That's definitely not how he started that first game 😂. Tyrod Tayler was set to start that week. An hour before kickoff he had his lung punctured by a needle when they were trying to inject painkiller. Herbert was given a hour notice to start.

[@user-ug8iu9wg4r]

No, not an hour notice. ST was lined up for kickoff when he found out. Even Hunter Henry asked why Herbert was on the field in the huddle, because players hadn't heard the news yet.

[@cjcurtis8944]

He had less than 5 minutes notice to start. When he ran out to the first huddle his teammates were shocked. He did all that with no pre-season games played, and he never even practiced with the ones in training camp. He was also just learning how to go under center. What he did was fucking insane.

You say that like Philip rivers is some scrub. He is one of the best qbs of the last 25 years. Show him some respect

[@user-ug8iu9wg4r]

Phillip will be remembered as the best QBs without a SB appearance. He wasn't some loser. He's equal or better than many of the QBs during his 17 year career that have rings (like Flacco and Wentz). The man was never benched, traded or cut for performance. He left the Chargers because he aged out for them. I don't know how you think Herbert is mediocre. Love and Stroud are getting praise and yet neither broke any of Herbert's rookie records. And Herbert only played 15 games. To be like Herbert, they need to throw 5,000 yards in their second season. W/L is not a QB stat.

[@MikePSU]

Herbert hasn't ever been top 10 in passer rating in any of his 4 seasons in the NFL. He's good, I'll give him top 10 even and say he's worth his contract and a franchise QB. But top 5? No. And I see no reason to expect him to be considered at top 3 guy in 2024 given his current level of play.

[@caseyhonigbaum]

He has been 11th, 12th, 12th and 13th in passer rating in his first 4 seasons. In 2020 he was 11th with a passer rating less than a point lower than Patrick Mahomes at the 10th spot. This season he finished 13th, one spot AHEAD of Patrick Mahomes. So by your logic Herbert was BETTER than Mahomes in year where Herbert missed 4 games? Using passer rating as the reason why Herbert isn't a top 5 quarterback is quite misguided. Passer rating is a flawed metric in many cases. It doesn't take into account fumbles, sacks or a QB's rushing production. I would look at QBR instead where Herbert has been in the top 5 in 2 of his 4 seasons, so far. Even in a year where he missed 4 games he was STILL top 5. A climb to a top 3 guy is well within reach, especially given his level of play.
