Film Study: So... Is Justin Herbert good or overrated? 

- NFLPA Ranked Chargers organization 30 of 32 - Career defense averages giving up 26 points per game - 28th ranked supporting cast since joining the league - Bottom 30 rushing attack Herbert Top 3 all-time leader at QB first 3 seasons

I still have Herbert over burrow, I cant believe people dont still talk about that as much

Herbert does more with lesser than any other QB in the league. He has a bad OL, no TE, only Keenan Allen at WR. Keenan Allen is a good possession receiver, but he is one of the slowest WRs in the league who doesn't get much separation. Give him a couple of top WRs and a decent tight end as well as protection from the OL and he leads the league in every passing category. Interesting to see how he does with some younger, faster receivers, a better OL and a legitimate running game.

Hair looking fresh

This dude had never had a defense ranked higher than 26th. Numerous drops from receivers. No protection with defenders running right at him with no blockers even touching them. extreme amount of injuries on his teams. And lets not forget, he had the stupidest coach in modern football history. Not many quarterbacks could as many wins as Herbet did with the situation hes been in.

If you get the chance to go back and watch the chargers packers game last year i highly recommend it. To me, that is the prime example of the team letting herbert down. Herbert used his legs, extended plays, threw dimes and was rewarded with drive killing drops, run game fumbles and a generationally bad game by his defense.

For context the Pats game was played in a downpour the entire game

The only pre snap motion used was a fucking rb bubble. Top offensives like the rams and niners are using pre snap motions with every play. Staley was shit

The perfect throws. Look at the Packers game. Drop Tuddies. Tight windows but WR’s stone hands. I would like to see the defense getting beat in winnable games rather dissecting Herbert’s bashing/unbashing.

Herbert has all the tools to be one of the best and competitive QB's in the league. Through a series of unfortunate situations with coaching, personnel and injuries I don't think we've seen Herbert or the Chargers offense clicking on all cylinders. I expect that to change under the new coach as Harbaugh won't put Herbert in a situation to play hero ball all game long.

Jackson Krueger Sports, awesome content I really liked it

He's just flat out good. Pure talent and ability no one is better. Now that the chargers have the HC in place people or going to have to admit it because he's gonna have the "wins" they used against him cuz they had no argument

cuts looking good

He has the tools. Needs to play with more anticipation

Herbert’s issue is because he played for the chargers, now that he has a serious coach he’s he’s great

NFL network did a video recently talking about how the elite QBs had elite defenses. And herbert's defense average at 28th in the league. Not to mention his run game or his pass protection. I think the most comparable case is Joe Burrow (14th defense according to the video). While the Chargers has been a really bad organization, the Bengals has been a really mediocre one. I expect the chargers to disappoint this year as much as the average Bengals season.

I love the new short hairstyle bro. You lookin fresh n clean. You’ll be sweeping everyone off their feet

he also was catching snaps with a broken finger but i guess context doesn’t matter

It’s fair to say Herbert struggles to win games, however, QB play is only 50% of the game. Herbert plays on a team that suffered from horrible defenses that struggled to keep teams outta the end zone. Compare his stats to your top 4 and then compare their defenses. It’s night and day. There is no argument here. The fact that Herbert can be voted 32 of 100 by his peers in a year he missed 4 games shows he’s top5 material. If Harbaugh can match Herbert’s production with a minimum 15th ranked defense, the chargers are playoff bound and possibly AFC champs.

As the president of Tuanon I actually don't hate Herbert but he definitely is overrated. He has spectacular plays but he misses layups and frankly he has a major problem processing plays to his left side. The whole "top 5" QB thing is overplayed with him because he simply just isn't that. All the passing yard records and that is hogwash to me because nobody is throwing the ball more than he is anyway. I don't think Jim just comes in and fixes things tbh because a lot of the issues is with Herbert as a QB mentally. Kid is very smart but football wise he doesn't process things quickly enough and his anticipatory skills are lacking. He's very mobile though, whether in the pocket or out of it and his arm kinda makes up for any anticipatory skills he lacks.

He threw 5000 yards a few seasons ago he can't be that bad

Herbert had better stats and a 28th rabked defense since he entered the league

When have Herbert had more To Do More? Like those 4 other QB’s? Herbert has took the worst team to make playoffs 10 years in 2022 chargers No other QB has Done That

Herbert is by far the best qb in the league.. it’s not even close

I think this is the year he has to prove it. And it could be iffy if they don't pick up an elite receiver, but I don't think at this point that is going to continue to be a viable excuse. I do think his team has let him down more often than not though. From watching a lot of Charger games I think one of his biggest problems is that he has a limited ability to put touch on the ball in intermediate routes the way that like Burrow does.

Way better than tua .

The chargers are my team and Herbert is a star

What !!!! The Krueger creature got a hair cut??? I thought a doppelganger had invaded the Krueger show.

So you filmed studied Herbert on the Pats game? In pouring weather and Chargers had one of the worst run games. Most passing heavy QBs do not have great rainy weather games. Even Mahomes in the super cold playoff game last was not his best performance at 56% and 1 TD. The Chiefs got a lot of YAC with Kelce and great rushing yards with Rice. That drove the offense when throwing in 0 degrees is not the best weapon. Tua and Pat's stats are not that far off for that game. Only 60 yards and completed 3 passes. The score looks very different. The score difference is the run game and YAC.

Great qbs don't look like he did in the playoff game Greats don't go out like that

Horrible o line, horrible running game, horrible coaching too. Hopefully Harbaugh changes all that

The ultimate stat we should use is the W/L record. That said, Herbert is undefeated against both Burrow and Allen... 3-0. Not including the win in college when Herbert destroyed Allen, hanging half a hundred on Wyoming with Allen non-existent. Yes, this is sarcasm for all you geniuses who haven't realized that yet. Using that same dumb ass W/L reasoning, Dan Marino CLEARLY is overrated, and shouldn't be anywhere near the top 20 QBs of all time. Why? No Superbowl wins. But Trend Dilfer won a Superbowl... which clearly shows that he was much better than Marino.

Wym Herbo doesn’t have the box score stuff?

The box score stats weren’t good last because bc he was injured. Healed in late February

High ceiling, low results so far

This is the worst take ive ever seen on herbert

One of the most overrated QBs in the league

Herbert is 30-32 as a starter. Lamar Jackson is 58-19 as a starting QB. Theres zero percent chance Lamar could have Herbert’s record and be rated at all in the top 20 as a starting QB. I doubt if he’d even be starting right now. So is Herbert good? Well if you imagine Lamar Jackson had that record of losing as a starting nfl QB would you think Lamar was good? If you are honest, you’d admit Lamar wouldn’t be consider a good QB if he had the exact same record as Herbert. So based on his wins and loses as starting QB, herbert is mediocre.

It more than him not having the hardware in terms of weapons. He is perennially inconsistent from college to pros. Too many easy layups in terms of throws, he misses, over throw or under throw. He often struggles negotiating coverage. He suffers from information overload. He has to be managed.

Herbert is really damn good, but he’s a white kid from a rich family who doesn’t get into trouble or controversy so certain groups of people will never like him as he appears to be “privileged”

This is pure bullcrap…if he’s so great, he’s supposed to make those throws. If that was another qb there wouldn’t be these type of excuses. I call bullsht

Can’t wait for Herbert to be a ram after Stafford retires after winning his second ring

He is supremely overrated

Over rated

Put Herbert on the Chiefs with Reid and they'd go to the super bowl

Most polarizing QB in the league. Defense has been a joke his whole career. If he plays exactly the same as he has his been and the team starts winning because they can actually hold onto a lead, suddenly people are going to give him credit because the team wins.

He top 4

The stretch of games between his finger on his left hand healing, and his finger on his right hand breaking, he absolutely showed his ability to be mobile. Lions, Packers, Patriots, Ravens. He was elite in those games in general, and that was probably the best stretch of playmaking and mobility I’ve ever seen from him

Brandon Staley had nothing to do with him throwing interceptions to end to the game 3 weeks straight

It really sucks cuz there are people who think Herbert is bad but it's no his fault. Under Staley, he just couldn't progress enough. I don't think he's bad, he's not some star QB either but he's capable. But with Jim Harbaugh running things now, Herbert should do better now. Course, that remains to be seen
