Justin Herbert is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but you don't have to tell that to LA Chargers fans. Even with a broken hand an offensive line in shambles, Herbert has led the Chargers to 11 wins in 15 games with a real shot at winning the AFC West.
Herbert's name has not been included in the elite quarterback conversation this near, nor has it been included in MVP talks. For much of the last two months, Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford have sparred for the most prestigious individual award in football. Herbert has lurked in the shadows.
