After an elite performance during his SNF debut vs. Pittsburgh, Justin Herbert has the potential to become the greatest Chargers QB ever
J&D Productions/YouTube
For a notoriously snakebitten franchise like the Los Angeles Chargers, it appears that they have found the franchise QB they need to lead them back to prominence. In just his second season, Justin Herbert has shown that he can do exactly that, putting up elite numbers in the Chargers’ 41-37 win over the Steelers on SNF. Adversity hit LAC when PIT mounted a massive comeback, but Herbert’s poise and resolve could be a sign of good things to come, as it could make him the franchise’s greatest QB.
Justin Herbert of the @chargers is the first player in NFL history with 380+ passing yards and 90+ rushing yards in a game.

JUSTIN HERBERT CAN BECOME THE GREATEST CHARGERS QB EVER
COLORS KEY | FULL CHARGERS OUTLOOK
A franchise that has fallen victim to so many blown fourth-quarter leads like the Los Angeles Chargers needed a breath of fresh air. The elite play of young star QB Justin Herbert gives LAC hope for a bright future. The wave of young star QBs has captivated the league for the past few years, but Herbert seems to have the intangibles that no one can really teach: poise and toughness.
On numerous occasions against the Steelers, Herbert faced pressure in late-down situations, but he calmly eluded the blitz and ran for first downs throughout the game. After a late Steelers comeback that left the Chargers trailing, Herbert showed the poise of a franchise QB, leading the Chargers to a GW-drive. LAC has found so many ways to lose games late throughout their history, but Herbert has shown the ability to change the tide and put himself in the running to one day be the greatest QB in franchise history.
