Justin Herbert is one of the best quarterbacks in the world, even when the deck is stacked against him. Herbert has often faced insurmountable challenges as the quarterback of the LA Chargers, including Saturday's loss against the Houston Texans.
Whether it be porous offensive line play or players dropping touchdown passes to lead to interceptions, Herbert didn't get much help from his offensive teammates on Saturday. Despite this, the quarterback with a broken left hand battled, and put together several eye-popping highlights to keep the game close.
Herbert is the entire reason the Chargers are relevant, and if he had a better infrastructure around him, he would firmly be in the MVP conversations that he deserves to be in.
