Herbert has made it to the playoffs in three of the last four years, but has not pulled out a win quite yet. This could be the year where that drought changes. The Chargers have made some changes around Herbert that could lead to him achieving some playoff success soon. In order for the Chargers to get there, Herbert and the team will need to perform better in the regular
season.
Bleacher Report writer Moe Moton believes Herbert could win his first MVP award this season.
“Herbert posted Pro Bowl numbers in a less-than-ideal situation. He’ll be able to raise his level of play with a healthy group,” Moton wrote.
“The two-time Pro Bowl signal-caller will also benefit from a change at offensive coordinator. The Chargers hired play-caller Mike McDaniel, who fielded the No. 1 passing offense for the 2023 season with Tua Tagovailoa under center during his time as Miami Dolphins head coach.
“McDaniel can expand his playbook with Herbert, who’s more mobile and has a stronger arm than Tagovailoa. His play-calling could help the Chargers’ star quarterback reach an MVP level.”
The Chargers have the tools to be elite in the NFL. Now they just need someone who can sharpen those tools and use them correctly. If McDaniel can do that, Herbert will benefit and the Chargers can achieve their goals.
