Why Justin Herbert’s QB Charger Could Finally Make Him the Best Young, Talented Man in His Position – The Athletic

The league has seen an influx of young midfielders with an exceptional combination of physical talent – they can execute spectacular down-balls into narrow windows and can also create with foot. Over the past few seasons, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson has redefined attacking football, rewritten the record books, and dazzled us point after bright spot. Although the second year Charger midfielder Justin Herbert didn’t come up with the kind of numbers that his contemporaries had, he could only become the best of those capable of doing the mundane – playing to the beat of the offense.

This season we have seen Mahomes and Allen fight against a deep layer of shell and the defense played with a passing mentality.

There were other important factors to their struggle such as their inability to control the ball effectively but the one they could control was a lack of rhythmic pitch and they didn’t do that consistently. .
