If MVP tends to only go to quarterbacks on the best overall teams, then how wouldn't this make Herbert one of the front-runners? What if the Chargers offense pops off for 28+ per game while the defense remains one of the stingier units in the league?

Positive signalProjection

Elite defense plus 28+ ppg offense could make Herbert an MVP front-runner.

Herbert's MVP candidacy is strengthened by the Chargers' potential to combine an elite defense (under Jim Harbaugh's tenure) with an elite offense in 2026. If the defense maintains its stingy performance from the past two seasons and the offense scores 28+ points per game, Herbert could be a front-runner for MVP, as the award typically goes to quarterbacks on the best overall teams.
