Herbert's efficiency stable despite volume decline; McDaniel hire signals banner-season potential.

Justin HerbertQBLAC

Herbert's early-career average of 287.5 passing yards and 1.9 TD passes per game has declined to 233.3 yards and 1.5 TDs over the last three years, but passing efficiency has remained stable; the downturn is attributed to conservative play-calling, offensive line injuries, and pass-catcher shortages—all of which appear resolved. With new Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel (who helped Tua Tagovailoa lead the league in passing yards three years ago), Herbert is positioned for a banner season and is a must-have target in 2026 drafts.
