One of the reasons wins as a QB stat is problematic is because there are so many factors and not all teams are equal. And they certainly weren't equal across these match ups🤔
Pressures allowed: LAC 61 > DEN 46
Yards per rush: DEN 5.1 > LAC 3.9
YAC/comp: DEN 6.1 > LAC 5.9
EPA/db: Herbert +0.176 > Nix +0.098
All-pros for LAC: Derwin
All-pros for DEN: Surtain, Allen, Hufanga, Bolles, Meinerz, Bonitto
I've been informed that DEN's record had little to do with their DEF and Nix just wins 💪
# of wins in games the offense failed to score 14 points:
Bo Nix in 2025 - 3
Rodgers in 279 career games - 3
Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Herbert, Burrow, Stroud, and Purdy in 703 games - 6
Mike McDaniel said the Chargers have changed Justin Herbert's shotgun footwork this offseason, moving him to a stance with his non-throwing-side foot forward, a technique McDaniel said he previously used with quarterbacks in Washington and Atlanta.
McDaniel said Herbert "didn't blink for a second" when presented with the chan
Chargers OC Mike McDaniel on getting Justin Herbert to perform in the playoffs: "From my standpoint, I look at an extremely, hard-working, well-intentioned player"
"It was on the coaching staff to offer him something to attack to be the tipping point for the 2026 he wants and envisions...it's on the collective to take those truths and coaching points and make them come to life"
Is Herbert the most underrated superstar in the NFL?
Hebert and Mahomes are the only QBs in NFL history with 5,000+ passing yards and 300+ rushing yards in the same season.
🔥🔥Folks better buckle up because Herbert's processing and arm are going to make it all click in a hurry.
Mike McDaniel is turning Justin Herbert loose. You remember what he did with Tua, getting the ball out under 2.4 sec, he's got Herbert trimming that 2.7 average way down to 2.3 and pushing him to become the fastest thrower the NFL has ever seen.
Anticipated throws in the practice are coming so quick that McDaniel is already warning the receivers the ball might smack them in the helmet before they even break their routes.
This Chargers offense is about to run with Formula 1 speed and velocity.

McDaniel watched every Herbert game.
JH: "He put together a few hundred play clip presentation. He'd throw in some of our clips where we could've done things better...it was a well put together presentation that I really saw the vision."
