Numbers Never Lie: Justin Herbert Has 23 Losses Since His Rookie Season And Only Matt Ryan Has More Since 2020
We can do this whole charade that wins and losses aren't a QB stat, but most of the reason a football team wins is because of their quarterback play, which is why people call it the most important position in sports. Justin Herbert is an amazing talent for sure and he will have throws that will make your jaw drop. But he cannot get his team to the playoffs, partially because his team continues to lost football games. I think to be considered elite, you have to at the very least make the playoffs, I don't want to hear the team is hurt excuse either because he has one of the best running backs in the league and Keenan Allen is back.
Herbert gets a pass on so much shit. Every year all we hear is how good the Chargers are going to be and every year they disappoint. Then everyone is going to throw all these stats on how many passing yards Herbert has. Well guess what? He throws the ball more than any quarterback in the league. Herbert has thrown the ball 60 more times this year than Patrick Mahomes! Everyone gives shit to Lamar Jackson all the time and say he isn't worth the money. Meanwhile he has the Ravens in first place despite having Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinsion, and DeSean Jackson as his three wide receivers.
I know the Herbert fans will talk shit because they are the ones that propped him up as some savior despite piling up all these losses. But Sunday night will show you all you need to know. Tua will be the better quarterback that night just like he has been all season and maybe everyone can finally shut up about Justin Herbert.
