I used to be the biggest Austin Eckler fan... until one game, one moment - he refused to motion when Justin asked him to... twice. at a PIVOTAL moment in the game. Then he proceeded to bad mouth him behind the scenes and in public too. Not a great look. Enjoy Washington. And Chris Harris? He owes the Chargers a refund. Do you know how many fourth quarter clutch throws he made? Please. His offensive line has been one thing consistently. OFFENSIVE. They almost got him killed. Broke his ribs and all his fingers. Please, CH. You couldn't cover a third grade textbook.
THANK YOU! F Austin Ekeler, dude gets stuffed more than a Thanksgiving turkey 🦃! I was done with him after the Green Bay fiasco! He wouldn't even change his damn cleats after he kept falling all over the place, dropped crucial 3rd down passes, and fumbled at the two, giving GB the ball! , then, AFTER yet another 3 point loss, in which Herbert threw for 260 , 2 tds and rushed for 73 yards to lead the team in passing, rushing and scoringlol( shoulda been 4, but Allen dropped 2) , Ekeler calls out Herbert and QJ, a struggling rookie who just had a devastating drop,saying" People need to play better, Justin needs to play better, Quentin Johnson needs to play better..then later he tacked on , and" I need to stopbc dropping passes" yeah ok Ekeler! Not to mention, he was all over social media crying about $$ while playing like garbage last yr! And worried about being a gamer and Mr. Inspirational instead of focusing on the team! I get that QJ was pretty rough to watch at tinlmes last yr, but you don't put a struggling rookie on blast publicly, and your QB , who isn't struggling , especially when YOUR POOR play and in the very same game even! I'm glad he's gone!
Such a well done video! Real fans know that Herbert was never the problem. Can he improve, of course but supporting cast and coaching were bigger issues.
Herbert's an iceman , he's clutch !! The league will see that a running game and D will highlight his clutchness/clutchism/clutchamania, one of those anyway !!!
Harbaugh sees him as a crown jewel in the NFL. He speaks the truth. Harbaugh will ensure his career will not be in vain and build a team that will win a ring with Justin at the helm!
Not clutch!?!?!?! He must not have seen that Raider game, I think it was 2 seasons ago on SNF or TNF, where Herbert made 3 or 4 4th down conversions on his way to throwing a TD. Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels were just incredulous at what was transpiring on the field, and for good reason; Herbert was unstoppable during that drive. So don't talk to me about him not being "cliutch". Get a clue..... BOLT UP! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
I'LL [ ADD ] even MORE stats onto , WHY , Herbert has a 30 - 32 career record ! In his 1st [ 2 ] season in the NFL , his kickers missed / block 18 & 13 kicks [ 31 ] total , some of these were just EP tries ? By far the WORST in the NFL in those 2 years & it's NOT even close ! So , just how many lost games come form that alone ? He UNLIKE the OTHER young guns, has had ONLY [ 3 ] career 1, 000 + yarders to play with , NONE has ever, been a RB ! Burrow , Hurts & Tua have had 3 in just 1 season , Most have all most double what Herbert has HAD for his career ! QB VRS QB , we hear all the time ? BUT, they will NEVER bring up , just these 2 facts ? PS 4 OC & 3 HC in his 1st 5 years , you , THINK , that helps him out any ? Defense , we COULD talk , YEARS on that point ? Dreams of a RANKED NO # 20 defense in his career .
You know what "clutch"? With less than a minute to go, in the fourth quarter, and the Chargers about to win the game. CHRIS HARRIS JR gives the raiders a 40 yard pass inference call, to help the raiders win the game. THATS CLUTCH!🤣
@Michael Maclane Great video! Justin is most definitely aclutch, and the team and decision making by ownership/management, until this yr, has been awful! Staley constantly putting players in terrible positions ( mentally as well as physically) was ridiculous on almost a Chris Farley level, not to mention his scapegoat bs of stuff like firing Shane Day!!! Also Ekeler bc a damn distraction and at times, downright disrespectful, calling out Herbert!! Seriously? And after the GB game of all times!'Chris Harris shouldn't be saying ANYTHING! And F Kay Adams too! She claims to be thiz big Chargers supporter yet was basically talkin' 💩 💩 with these questions! She should've asked Harris why tf he pulled that Raiders player to the ground and eventhough it was a god awful call, gave the Raiders the ball at the 1 right after we took the lead! , Justin is a cannon period! Simple as that!
I can count on my fingers the number of plays Herbert screwed up and lost the game last minute. With a good OL, defense, coaching, I think he’s gonna kill it. We haven’t even seen his best yet ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Lol isn’t this the same Chris Harris Jr that got bombed by Tyreek Hill to lose the game in the 4th quarter in Herbert’s first nfl game? Herbert out played Mahomes (as usual) and defense collapsed.. check out the highlights
Remember when Rivers threw for over 500yards, 5 td, and 0 interceptions and still lost? Yeah dude u need more then an x factor when playing for the chargers
These critiques annoy me. Herbert had a poor running game with an undersized RB and one of the worst-ranked running defenses in the league with a terrible headcoach/gm.
Don’t forget that the Defense put up the most points in NFL history since he’s been there while Justin has put up the most points in NFL history since he’s been there. Blame the defense
Michael of all the podcasts yours and the chargers podcasts are the ones I watch most. I would love to see you interview someone on the chargers staff. Is there any chance you will start adding interviews to your podcast?
This team is about to start blowing teams out consistently. We've got harbaugh's genius. Roman's run game, and herbert's ability to truly control a game in clutch moments as well as a dominant O line and a reliable defense to complement all of that...the rest of the NFL is in for a rough time. And Mahomes is gonna be forced to see it when he believes it😂😂
It's a TEAM sport, yet the So-called experts still give the QB all the credit (See Eli Manning SB MVP) or all the blame ("He can't win the big one"). You can have the best QBs in the league and still not get there if the rest of the team has holes (See Dan Marino, Dan Fouts, Philip Rivers, +++). One thing I don't think anyone seems to be getting. Air Coryell took advantage of defenses being made to stop the "3-yards and a cloud of dust" style football played at that time. #00 yard passing games were rare, now they are the norm, 4000 yard passing seasons were a ridiculous milestone, now they are fairly regular. In 1973, when the Dolphins went undefeated, they had a grand total of 8 completions out of 11 attempts, 1 Int. and 2 sacks for 88 total passing yards. Obviously, things have changed. Air Coryell Filled the seats and the NFL Took note and made rule changes to have more high-scoring games. The 9-3 games were stale and boring. The 42-41 games were exciting. So now here we are, and the NFL is all about passing. The RB position has been devalued to where hardly is a RB taken in round 1 let alone top 10. There are no Walter Payton's, Berry Sanders, etc. Obviously, there are still great RBs, but they don't get the opportunities they used to and have become more of a safety valve receiver (Ekler) then a true (between the tackles) RB. The league's teams are all build to stop the pass, and now the Chargers who made it that way, are turning back the clock. Defenses aren't set up to stop the run nearly as much anymore. ILB is getting devalued, while CB and Safety has gone up in value. So, while the whole world gives the QB all the credit, the Chargers are leaning more towards the traditional "3-yards and a cloud of dust". Not that they won't throw it, but they will use the run to set up the throw, instead of the other way around and defenses will be on their heels prepared to stop the serious threat of a run when the ball goes over their heads. Sorry, if that was a tangent - but I had this rant building for a while. :P
Ok, 1st of all Bob Griese Missed MOST of that 1973 season for the Dolphins and Earl Morrel , 1 of the best back up QB"S of his time , see Unitas season, also played most of that year . 2nk , even though Fouts defense did suck . They COULD get sacks & turn overs late in many games , to help out a little ? This team couldn't catch a cold [PICKS ] on the defense at all ! They make a lot of fumbles, but, we are around only 50 % getting those back for the team .
Herbo has the most 4th quarter comebacks but also has the most 4th quarter interceptions, and of course people only look at the interceptions. Of course those interceptions are gonna add up because of the amount of clutch situations he's been put into with horrible coaching, lack of experience as a young QB, and also a defense that he can't trust making him feel like he has to force things. The fact that he has that many comebacks despite all this and also the fact that he's always banged up and forced to carry every single game should be impressive on its own.
This kind of Herbert hate talk has been growing last couple years and will not stop until Chargers get playoff wins. We Chargers fans dont likeit and we know Herb has been clutch. But it is true, that the great QB's sometimes just take over games when their team is struggling and find a way to win. Herb did that at times earlier in his career but somehow has gotten away from that last couple seasons. Also crucially, Herb has had no great QB mentor to learn from....Can u imagine if he had been in a QB room with Phil Rivers...Nope Herbert was simply thrown into the fire in like the second game of his NFL career. That is a huge disadvantage to a young rookie QB. Herb really needs a coach like Harbaugh to bring the hardnosed champion "attitude out of this young man that is lying just beneath the surface. I have no doubts Harbaugh is the right coach for Justin Herbert to take his game to that level. Screw the haters
Go ahead Mike! Put it out there that this man deserves his roses! The team wasn't built to be what HE needed before and after he got there. Just lackluster coaching and some struggling support from his cast. Bolt up this season!
Well if you watch the whole Chris Harris interview it doesn’t say Herbo is incapable of being clutch. Actually, he says he can be have it. He even says that Herbo has never had a top 5 defense or a running game to help him with the clutch factor. I feel like it is more him saying “clutch” means winning. Like if in a basketball game if Kobe hit the 3 with 3 seconds remaining, but the defense gives up a three to the other team with those remaining seconds and they win. It doesn’t mean that Kobe isn’t clutch it just means he didn’t have the support on the back end to close the game and translate it to a win. So, I think Herbo is honestly in the situation that if Harbaugh stays the next 5 years and everything goes to plan. Herbo maybe in the greatest of all time conversation as well. Look at these stats of Herbo and Payton manning before Payton manning got Tony Dungy as his head coach. LA JUSTIN HERBERT (AGE 22-25 SEASONS) 19 PEYTON MANNING (AGE 22-25 SEASONS) 30-32 RECORD 32-32 17,223 PASS YARDS 16,418 66.6% COMPLETION % 61.0% 114 PASS TD III 95.7 OB RATING 85.1
Everyone know howI feel about Tua, lol. But I highly have the greatest respect and admiration for Mr and Mrs. Herbert for their son's AWESOME PERSONALITY in the world of me, myself, and me, me ,me , dont make me cry of an Angel Reese Vibe!!! And yeah. Tua suks!!!
NFL doesn’t want Herbert to Shine because they Pick who they want to Win… with Trany-Taylor supporting the Chiefs they wanted to make sure the Chiefs win the Super Bowl… Staley could have been put in to Make the Chargers so Bad… I don’t think No One is that Stupid in calling play calls … repeatedly having dbs over 10 yards or more in back the players they were covering… Having two years of that Predictable Conservative Egotistical Dingleberry Lombardi calling stupid plays… then Moore who became his 2nd coming… calling the same plays.. Both Offensive and Defensive Calls Sucked the past 3 years.. and didn’t ya notice when Herbert just Needed a few yards to Break one of Dan Marino’s record and Herbert was held back… and the Plain Obvious Pendejo Zebras calling Phantom Penalties… against the Chargers… There have been Players that have come out to say that the NFL is Rigged… it’s All about Profit and Greed…
Clearly, by almost every metric, Herbert is one of the best QB’s in the NFL. There, I declared it. But I have a critique, and it’s along the lines of what Chris Harris said. First, I found the chart of comeback wins very interesting. Question: what is the definition of a 4th quarter comeback win? Is it to permanently regain the lead with 5 minutes left in the game? With 10 minutes left? On the first play of the 4th quarter? For me, the ULTIMATE comeback win is to do it on the LAST POSSESSION of the game. I can think of two examples last year in which the Chargers were behind heading into the final two minutes of the game and came up empty. In week one, they trailed the Dolphins by two points with 1:35 left in the game. A FG wins. They failed to score, and if memory serves me, they never came within Dicker’s range. Later in the season, they trailed Green Bay by three points with 2:30 on the clock. Couldn’t score. Then there was the Titans game. Herbert, to his credit, led the team to a late 4th quarter FG to tie the game. In OT, the Chargers won the coin flip, and went three and out. Titans kicked a FG and won. Were these failures entirely Herbert’s fault? No. But when you’re making hundreds of millions of dollars, and you’re the leader of the offense, you have to win those types of games. At least two out of three. When you think of guys like Brady, Manning and Mahomes, and you put them in those situations, game over. You could reliably turn off your TV and go to the beach, knowing exactly what was going to happen. Better yet, the opposing team already KNEW what was going to happen. The stats tell me I’m wrong, but my eyes tell me a different story.
Us old fans remeber the good old Marty days; a great coach who will give his team prepared for the big moments. RIP AJ Smith, but his ego killed such a wonderful team to watch. I wanted AJ Smith out instead of Marty and I think the Spano's family learned from their mistake, build an organization with people who are aligned in philosophy. This will be Herbert's greatest season or close to it. Highly recommend to watch some of those old charger games
i dont like how you talk about Eckler. Dude was a badass Bolt for a long long time, and deserves our appreciation and respect. Our Oline was without a decent center and right tackle, or blocking TE, and NO other RB to take any pressure off. Eck caught his way into Bolt History forever too. So what that it didn't end ideally?
People love to hate on Herbert but don’t see everything he’s overcome and still plays at a elite level. We had the dumbest head coach in NFL history and he still put up crazy numbers. This season will be so different now that he actually has a smart coach. Staley shouldn’t be allowed to coach In the NFL, like Rex Ryan said he should go back to pee wee where he belongs
People who claim Herbert isn’t elite have not watched all the games. The comments section is a playground for trolls. Now that the Chargers have a legit coach in Jim Harbaugh everyone will see what has been obvious since the first drive when Justin replaced Tyrod Taylor.
Good job, Mike, thank you for bringing real stats and real information. Must be nice for players to use their name to get into the media and have no idea what they’re talking about. This feels like another Jack ass like Ahcho , just trying to get his name out there with idiotic statements. Fans please don’t ever watch that guys stuff and give life to it.
Justin Herbert has been the modern Dan Marino in my opinion. An exceptional talent surrounded by mediocre skill players. Harbaugh will turn this around. I anticipate at least a Superbowl appearance in the next 3 years and this guy deserves it purely on a talent level.
Great call outs, Michael! I really was engaged to what you have shown and I've seen a lot of what you are talking about for Herbert! I'm I'm a big fan of your content, keep it up!
Harris lost us the chance to go the playoffs in 2021 against the raiders 😂 Chargers defense allowed the most points in a 3 year span, Herbert threw to back ups mostly all his career
I love my chargers but you can’t call Herbert clutch after we’ve lost so many close games I know many factors but he’s thrown into double coverage and has choked in close game situations. I’m ready for the hate but I’m not delusional y’all are to think he’s clutch but he should be better this year with a better line
This last year Justin’s clutch factor was missing. The dolphins and the titans games both came down to the wire. There was a noticeable difference in those games vs other 2 minute moment we’ve seen from Justin in the past. You can blame the offensive scheme on that maybe but the fact is Justin’s clutch ability has slipped a bit this last year
I remember the Raider game 3 seasons ago at the end of the season. Justin was so clutch and honestly we should’ve won that game but so many people let him down. From a dropped pass in overtime that would’ve resulted in a touchdown to Staley making the stupid decision to call a timeout. It’s hard to be clutch when everyone is against you
I fully agree with you, but that t.o. issue is a big myth Why would the Raiders want to help their hated rival get in the playoffs? And nor only that, but a tie meant the Raiders would go to KC, and we would've played Cincinnati , lol! Staley was just stupid and the REAL fu was going for it in essentially a wild card game, from your own 18, and not only that but run THE EXACT same play , that got stuffed on 3rd down, giving the Raiders a free FG!!and we lost by 3!!Had he not done that, the throw to Mike as time ran out , would have been thr game winner!
@@rickpeterson8825 100% agree the raiders wouldn’t have settled for a tie, I was just pointing out how stupid you have to be to call a timeout when there was literally no need too I mean come on. And I agree with everything else you said poor Herbert playing his heart out only to be let down by everyone else around him.
saw a video where Greg Roman and another coach were praising Herbert for learning 3 different offenses in 3 years. Yeah, with even amediocre defense, Herbert would have won more games and made the playoffs. I hope Telesco sucks as bad for the raiders as he did for the chargers. Ihope Herbert makes all his doubters eat crow this year. I hope all our new receivers are good and that we can get lots of explosive plays where they burn defenses deep.
Fan since 95 and he’s the real deal. He’s proven that year in a year out injured or not already has most tds and yards in a season franchise record I just hope the team finally does the same go chargers⚡️⚡️⚡️
Our offensive line has never been strong under herbert and the defense was horrible when we had staley. Those are the top 2 things that are important for a qb to succeed
The Chargers organization needs to take accountability also. They told ekeler that they will get another RB to help him just how Melvin Gordon was his Batman. They never got him another RB and they still wanted him to play like a RB1. Ekeler was never a RB1 but the chargers wanted him to perform like one every year with no RB to help him
ECKLER wanted to be a running back 1 he just wasn't able to pound the rock. Hell you mean take accountability Eckler was a damn touch down machine. He wasn't doing his damn job last year PLAIN AND SIMPLE whether it was another back there last year what did HE DO with his opportunities? He could hardly rush the ball and close games out either.
@@joffyjoffa ekeler wanted to be paid more than 4 million per year if you want him to get your 20 tds and be the rb1.. my point is that ekeler was his best when he has another RB 1 who was the 1st down / 2nd down back. Once Gordon left they relied on ekeler to over produce for little money with no help.. try be unbiased
@@Mr.Reality-b4m He didnt get paid any more than what he got paid here by ANYONE. So save that and no we didn't want his 20 TDS no one care enough to pay him like that CLEARLY as he both tested the market and free agency. Furthermore more the Chargers were smart enough to know MOST OF HIS TDS CAME INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE. And that's why his yardage didn't add up to his TD production WHICH WAS ONLY TWO YEARS. The team would drive down field in Chunk plays and he would punch it in and get inflated stats. He SURE AS HELL was no help vs the jags when we couldn't run the ball and finish games. He was NEVER doing that he is a receiving scat back not a every down back. PERIOD.
@@Mr.Reality-b4m Eckler got paid more than 4 mil and did he get more than what the chargers gave WHICH WAS 6 mill after he BOTH tested free agency and a trade? NO NO ONE GAVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED which was MUCH more than 4 mil closer to 10 mill get the facts straight. The Chargers and the rest of the league was smart enough to know most of his TDs came in the red zone when the rest of the team would move the ball down field. That's why his yardage ESPECIALLY rushing didn't add up to the TD production. And that was ONLY TWO YEARS BTW YES TWO so save that 20 TD BS those were inflated stats. He sure as hell couldn't close games out for the chargers either. Games like the Jags in the playoffs when he couldnt pound the rock and seal the win. He doesn't close out games or run the ball effectively when team needs it.
@@joffyjoffa you’re missing the point. Austin was always suppose to be a complimentary RB1 that’s why he signed that cheap deal… once Gordon left they did not replace him but they still relied on a small RB like ekeler to carry the load. He was able to do something for two years but the chargers should have signed another RB a long time ago.. that’s why I said accountability
It’s interesting that you blame Ek for his lack in the run game but you don’t blame Jus10 for pressures and sacks. Ek would kill it if he was on our Squad this year. Why? Because we finally have a good OLine.
Ek was never a down hill between the tackles rusher, he even admitted that himself before signing with Washington. He wouldn't have been a good scheme fit with Roman calling plays. Herbert can improve on many little details but his sack to pressure rate is one of the best in the league
What , We have seen this MANY of times in his 4 years here with Allen ? EVERY single 1 of his offense weapons HAVE missed [GAMES ] in seasons , and I'm NOT talking about a couple of games, EITHER ! Hell they HAD to brake his finger on BOTH hands , just to get Herbert OFF the field .
@@buzzington90 Your LYING I just refuted your BS and proved HE HAS DONE IT THE MOST AT THE QB POSITION what are you talking about? HE HAS THE WORSE RUNNING GAME AND DEFENSE OF ALL THE TOP QBs dose that not have anything to do with winning? He can't block for himself, kick field goals and coach that's a TEAM thing when it comes to wins and loses. WAKE UP 🤷🏾♂️ But when it comes to the QB POSITION which is all ANY QB CAN CONTROL. He has done it THE MOST of ALL THE QBS since he has came into the league. 14 times LOOK IT UP. 🤦🏽♂️
@@joffyjoffa that one playoff game he had he didnt do shit the whole second half. I understand he has a shitty D but you have to win games and playoff game to have that clutch factor. IDK why you getting upset over it. Im a die hard Chargers fan im just saying Herbert still need to show us more on 4th QT.
@@buzzington90 Man GTFOH you go caught in a lie and NOW you want to reference THAT ONE game. He only had Keenen and he was triple teammed while Mike Williams didn't play. He had ZERO running game that's why they couldn't control the clock and protect the lead. Oline also played TERRIBLE as well.
@@user-jc7ep2xp1c Win and losses are a QB stat. Cut it out. You’re right, but that not how we judge. Herbert needs to lead us to win. I’m tired of y’all protecting him. He needs to get it done!
I didn't even mention his injuries but I made my point here haha 😂⚡
Exactly right bro !!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Also in many of the plays shown the 0 line was not great.
Do you have any nice psa cards of Herbert?
You're the best to be watching our team video and bolt up
I used to be the biggest Austin Eckler fan... until one game, one moment - he refused to motion when Justin asked him to... twice. at a PIVOTAL moment in the game. Then he proceeded to bad mouth him behind the scenes and in public too. Not a great look. Enjoy Washington. And Chris Harris? He owes the Chargers a refund. Do you know how many fourth quarter clutch throws he made? Please. His offensive line has been one thing consistently. OFFENSIVE. They almost got him killed. Broke his ribs and all his fingers. Please, CH. You couldn't cover a third grade textbook.
I feel the same way about Eckler, after I saw that I wanted him gone. Hes average honestly.
THANK YOU! F Austin Ekeler, dude gets stuffed more than a Thanksgiving turkey 🦃! I was done with him after the Green Bay fiasco! He wouldn't even change his damn cleats after he kept falling all over the place, dropped crucial 3rd down passes, and fumbled at the two, giving GB the ball! , then, AFTER yet another 3 point loss, in which Herbert threw for 260 , 2 tds and rushed for 73 yards to lead the team in passing, rushing and scoringlol( shoulda been 4, but Allen dropped 2) , Ekeler calls out Herbert and QJ, a struggling rookie who just had a devastating drop,saying" People need to play better, Justin needs to play better, Quentin Johnson needs to play better..then later he tacked on , and" I need to stopbc dropping passes" yeah ok Ekeler! Not to mention, he was all over social media crying about $$ while playing like garbage last yr! And worried about being a gamer and Mr. Inspirational instead of focusing on the team! I get that QJ was pretty rough to watch at tinlmes last yr, but you don't put a struggling rookie on blast publicly, and your QB , who isn't struggling , especially when YOUR POOR play and in the very same game even! I'm glad he's gone!
Chris Harris was ASS!!!! Dude was NEVER clutch
Lost the Gayder game when josh Jacobs shook him out his cleats!
can you link the video of ekeler?
The DEFENCE needed a clutch factor bro. Seriously.
Ppl love to blame Herbo for what the defense gives away.
this dude has been carrying us since he started playing.
4 years in the league and still not one single clutch signature moment.
Carrying us to 0 playoff wins
Such a well done video! Real fans know that Herbert was never the problem. Can he improve, of course but supporting cast and coaching were bigger issues.
Not to mention the defense losing the game after seeming game winning drives by Herb and the offense.
Herbert's an iceman , he's clutch !! The league will see that a running game and D will highlight his clutchness/clutchism/clutchamania, one of those anyway !!!
Justin will soar with winning pro coaching, strong line, an actual running game and a non pourous D. And we have speed in the receiver room finally 🎯
We still dont have a solid D. Hopefully some of those DBs becone studs
Harbaugh sees him as a crown jewel in the NFL. He speaks the truth. Harbaugh will ensure his career will not be in vain and build a team that will win a ring with Justin at the helm!
Not clutch!?!?!?! He must not have seen that Raider game, I think it was 2 seasons ago on SNF or TNF, where Herbert made 3 or 4 4th down conversions on his way to throwing a TD.

So don't talk to me about him not being "cliutch". Get a clue..... BOLT UP! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Herbert is literally the only reason we’ve been relevant for the past few seasons
I forgot about that Anthony Lynn and Tyrod Taylor statement. WTF
Thank you for saving me the stress. I'm curious how many 8 men boxes he's faced over the years too. I'm sure that's gonna change.
GREAT WORK MICHEAL I've been knowing about the things you posted about Herbert. Finally somebody did the PROPER research and got the facts straight.
I'LL [ ADD ] even MORE stats onto , WHY , Herbert has a 30 - 32 career record !

You know what "clutch"? With less than a minute to go, in the fourth quarter, and the Chargers about to win the game. CHRIS HARRIS JR gives the raiders a 40 yard pass inference call, to help the raiders win the game. THATS CLUTCH!🤣
@Michael Maclane Great video! Justin is most definitely aclutch, and the team and decision making by ownership/management, until this yr, has been awful!

And F Kay Adams too! She claims to be thiz big Chargers supporter yet was basically talkin' 💩 💩 with these questions! She should've asked Harris why tf he pulled that Raiders player to the ground and eventhough it was a god awful call, gave the Raiders the ball at the 1 right after we took the lead! , Justin is a cannon period! Simple as that!
I can count on my fingers the number of plays Herbert screwed up and lost the game last minute. With a good OL, defense, coaching, I think he’s gonna kill it. We haven’t even seen his best yet ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Lol isn’t this the same Chris Harris Jr that got bombed by Tyreek Hill to lose the game in the 4th quarter in Herbert’s first nfl game? Herbert out played Mahomes (as usual) and defense collapsed.. check out the highlights
Chris Harris was clutch...for the other team. If they needed a play, they just went to whomever he was "guarding."
Remember when Rivers threw for over 500yards, 5 td, and 0 interceptions and still lost? Yeah dude u need more then an x factor when playing for the chargers
These critiques annoy me. Herbert had a poor running game with an undersized RB and one of the worst-ranked running defenses in the league with a terrible headcoach/gm.
Don’t forget that the Defense put up the most points in NFL history since he’s been there while Justin has put up the most points in NFL history since he’s been there. Blame the defense
Got tired of him running for his life. Glad we got a HC and front Office that will protect him.
Michael of all the podcasts yours and the chargers podcasts are the ones I watch most. I would love to see you interview someone on the chargers staff. Is there any chance you will start adding interviews to your podcast?
I think that is an assanine statement made by Chris Harris because the Chargers never had a running game and they never had a defense under Herbert.
This team is about to start blowing teams out consistently. We've got harbaugh's genius. Roman's run game, and herbert's ability to truly control a game in clutch moments as well as a dominant O line and a reliable defense to complement all of that...the rest of the NFL is in for a rough time. And Mahomes is gonna be forced to see it when he believes it😂😂
Naw Justin needed a team and coach factor.
It's a TEAM sport, yet the So-called experts still give the QB all the credit (See Eli Manning SB MVP) or all the blame ("He can't win the big one"). You can have the best QBs in the league and still not get there if the rest of the team has holes (See Dan Marino, Dan Fouts, Philip Rivers, +++).
One thing I don't think anyone seems to be getting. Air Coryell took advantage of defenses being made to stop the "3-yards and a cloud of dust" style football played at that time. #00 yard passing games were rare, now they are the norm, 4000 yard passing seasons were a ridiculous milestone, now they are fairly regular. In 1973, when the Dolphins went undefeated, they had a grand total of 8 completions out of 11 attempts, 1 Int. and 2 sacks for 88 total passing yards. Obviously, things have changed. Air Coryell Filled the seats and the NFL Took note and made rule changes to have more high-scoring games. The 9-3 games were stale and boring. The 42-41 games were exciting.
So now here we are, and the NFL is all about passing. The RB position has been devalued to where hardly is a RB taken in round 1 let alone top 10. There are no Walter Payton's, Berry Sanders, etc. Obviously, there are still great RBs, but they don't get the opportunities they used to and have become more of a safety valve receiver (Ekler) then a true (between the tackles) RB. The league's teams are all build to stop the pass, and now the Chargers who made it that way, are turning back the clock. Defenses aren't set up to stop the run nearly as much anymore. ILB is getting devalued, while CB and Safety has gone up in value.
So, while the whole world gives the QB all the credit, the Chargers are leaning more towards the traditional "3-yards and a cloud of dust". Not that they won't throw it, but they will use the run to set up the throw, instead of the other way around and defenses will be on their heels prepared to stop the serious threat of a run when the ball goes over their heads.
Sorry, if that was a tangent - but I had this rant building for a while. :P
Ok, 1st of all Bob Griese Missed MOST of that 1973 season for the Dolphins and Earl Morrel , 1 of the best back up QB"S of his time , see Unitas season, also played most of that year . 2nk , even though Fouts defense did suck . They COULD get sacks & turn overs late in many games , to help out a little ? This team couldn't catch a cold [PICKS ] on the defense at all ! They make a lot of fumbles, but, we are around only 50 % getting those back for the team .
he definitely is clutch. But the teams he has had around him is what has been at question for the past chargers staff.
Herbo has the most 4th quarter comebacks but also has the most 4th quarter interceptions, and of course people only look at the interceptions. Of course those interceptions are gonna add up because of the amount of clutch situations he's been put into with horrible coaching, lack of experience as a young QB, and also a defense that he can't trust making him feel like he has to force things. The fact that he has that many comebacks despite all this and also the fact that he's always banged up and forced to carry every single game should be impressive on its own.
And quite a few of those 4th qtr picks were due to receivers bobbling the ball. It wasn’t even like all of them were bad throws or decisions.
Chris Harris was so bad when he played for us lol
Herbert is clutch!💯⚡️
Chris Harris is a never WAS
This kind of Herbert hate talk has been growing last couple years and will not stop until Chargers get playoff wins. We Chargers fans dont likeit and we know Herb has been clutch. But it is true, that the great QB's sometimes just take over games when their team is struggling and find a way to win. Herb did that at times earlier in his career but somehow has gotten away from that last couple seasons. Also crucially, Herb has had no great QB mentor to learn from....Can u imagine if he had been in a QB room with Phil Rivers...Nope Herbert was simply thrown into the fire in like the second game of his NFL career. That is a huge disadvantage to a young rookie QB.
Herb really needs a coach like Harbaugh to bring the hardnosed champion "attitude out of this young man that is lying just beneath the surface.
I have no doubts Harbaugh is the right coach for Justin Herbert to take his game to that level.
Screw the haters
OC , " Swing Pass Joe ". had a little to do with that ! He NEVER seen a -5 yard to 5 yard BOMB pass, he didn't LIKE calling as a OC !
Agreed, people/media were praising Justin the first couple of years. The last couple of years- not so much.
Go ahead Mike! Put it out there that this man deserves his roses! The team wasn't built to be what HE needed before and after he got there. Just lackluster coaching and some struggling support from his cast. Bolt up this season!
Well if you watch the whole Chris Harris interview it doesn’t say Herbo is incapable of being clutch. Actually, he says he can be have it. He even says that Herbo has never had a top 5 defense or a running game to help him with the clutch factor. I feel like it is more him saying “clutch” means winning. Like if in a basketball game if Kobe hit the 3 with 3 seconds remaining, but the defense gives up a three to the other team with those remaining seconds and they win. It doesn’t mean that Kobe isn’t clutch it just means he didn’t have the support on the back end to close the game and translate it to a win.
So, I think Herbo is honestly in the situation that if Harbaugh stays the next 5 years and everything goes to plan. Herbo maybe in the greatest of all time conversation as well. Look at these stats of Herbo and Payton manning before Payton manning got Tony Dungy as his head coach.

Everyone know howI feel about Tua, lol. But I highly have the greatest respect and admiration for Mr and Mrs. Herbert for their son's AWESOME PERSONALITY in the world of me, myself, and me, me ,me , dont make me cry of an Angel Reese Vibe!!! And yeah. Tua suks!!!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! Stop showing all those drops, they hurt my eyes lol!
How can that many dudes drop that many passes....UNCONTESTED TOO!!!!
NFL doesn’t want Herbert to Shine because they Pick who they want to Win… with Trany-Taylor supporting the Chiefs they wanted to make sure the Chiefs win the Super Bowl… Staley could have been put in to Make the Chargers so Bad… I don’t think No One is that Stupid in calling play calls … repeatedly having dbs over 10 yards or more in back the players they were covering… Having two years of that Predictable Conservative Egotistical Dingleberry Lombardi calling stupid plays… then Moore who became his 2nd coming… calling the same plays.. Both Offensive and Defensive Calls Sucked the past 3 years.. and didn’t ya notice when Herbert just Needed a few yards to Break one of Dan Marino’s record and Herbert was held back… and the Plain Obvious Pendejo Zebras calling Phantom Penalties… against the Chargers… There have been Players that have come out to say that the NFL is Rigged… it’s All about Profit and Greed…
Clearly, by almost every metric, Herbert is one of the best QB’s in the NFL. There, I declared it. But I have a critique, and it’s along the lines of what Chris Harris said.
First, I found the chart of comeback wins very interesting. Question: what is the definition of a 4th quarter comeback win? Is it to permanently regain the lead with 5 minutes left in the game? With 10 minutes left? On the first play of the 4th quarter? For me, the ULTIMATE comeback win is to do it on the LAST POSSESSION of the game. I can think of two examples last year in which the Chargers were behind heading into the final two minutes of the game and came up empty. In week one, they trailed the Dolphins by two points with 1:35 left in the game. A FG wins. They failed to score, and if memory serves me, they never came within Dicker’s range. Later in the season, they trailed Green Bay by three points with 2:30 on the clock. Couldn’t score.
Then there was the Titans game. Herbert, to his credit, led the team to a late 4th quarter FG to tie the game. In OT, the Chargers won the coin flip, and went three and out. Titans kicked a FG and won.
Were these failures entirely Herbert’s fault? No. But when you’re making hundreds of millions of dollars, and you’re the leader of the offense, you have to win those types of games. At least two out of three. When you think of guys like Brady, Manning and Mahomes, and you put them in those situations, game over. You could reliably turn off your TV and go to the beach, knowing exactly what was going to happen. Better yet, the opposing team already KNEW what was going to happen.
The stats tell me I’m wrong, but my eyes tell me a different story.
Us old fans remeber the good old Marty days; a great coach who will give his team prepared for the big moments. RIP AJ Smith, but his ego killed such a wonderful team to watch. I wanted AJ Smith out instead of Marty and I think the Spano's family learned from their mistake, build an organization with people who are aligned in philosophy. This will be Herbert's greatest season or close to it. Highly recommend to watch some of those old charger games
i dont like how you talk about Eckler. Dude was a badass Bolt for a long long time, and deserves our appreciation and respect. Our Oline was without a decent center and right tackle, or blocking TE, and NO other RB to take any pressure off. Eck caught his way into Bolt History forever too. So what that it didn't end ideally?
He’s right about him though lol
Dude was all about his Brand..Good Riddance 💩
People love to hate on Herbert but don’t see everything he’s overcome and still plays at a elite level. We had the dumbest head coach in NFL history and he still put up crazy numbers. This season will be so different now that he actually has a smart coach. Staley shouldn’t be allowed to coach In the NFL, like Rex Ryan said he should go back to pee wee where he belongs
People who claim Herbert isn’t elite have not watched all the games. The comments section is a playground for trolls. Now that the Chargers have a legit coach in Jim Harbaugh everyone will see what has been obvious since the first drive when Justin replaced Tyrod Taylor.
Good job, Mike, thank you for bringing real stats and real information. Must be nice for players to use their name to get into the media and have no idea what they’re talking about. This feels like another Jack ass like Ahcho , just trying to get his name out there with idiotic statements. Fans please don’t ever watch that guys stuff and give life to it.
Justin Herbert has been the modern Dan Marino in my opinion. An exceptional talent surrounded by mediocre skill players. Harbaugh will turn this around. I anticipate at least a Superbowl appearance in the next 3 years and this guy deserves it purely on a talent level.
I watched this whole interview. To be fair, Kay pushed him to find 1 thing Herbert can improve on.
Great call outs, Michael! I really was engaged to what you have shown and I've seen a lot of what you are talking about for Herbert! I'm I'm a big fan of your content, keep it up!
Remember Chris Harrison Jr is a Bronco at heart 😂😂😂. Let's go CHARGERS ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
What would expect from a former Denver dirtbag #10 is super clutch, especially with no defense at best average.
Harris lost us the chance to go the playoffs in 2021 against the raiders 😂 Chargers defense allowed the most points in a 3 year span, Herbert threw to back ups mostly all his career
I love my chargers but you can’t call Herbert clutch after we’ve lost so many close games I know many factors but he’s thrown into double coverage and has choked in close game situations. I’m ready for the hate but I’m not delusional y’all are to think he’s clutch but he should be better this year with a better line
This last year Justin’s clutch factor was missing. The dolphins and the titans games both came down to the wire. There was a noticeable difference in those games vs other 2 minute moment we’ve seen from Justin in the past. You can blame the offensive scheme on that maybe but the fact is Justin’s clutch ability has slipped a bit this last year
Too many videos, there isn't even anything to talk about right now. Need a break. Will Subscribe again in August
Typical. Chargers always underestimated and trash talked, even in the face of stats or film. Same thing happened to Rivers
Tyrod got his lung punctured by Chargers medical staff... can't make this shit up
Chargers would have won like 10 games since 2020 if it wasn’t for Herbo
I remember the Raider game 3 seasons ago at the end of the season. Justin was so clutch and honestly we should’ve won that game but so many people let him down. From a dropped pass in overtime that would’ve resulted in a touchdown to Staley making the stupid decision to call a timeout. It’s hard to be clutch when everyone is against you
I fully agree with you, but that t.o. issue is a big myth Why would the Raiders want to help their hated rival get in the playoffs? And nor only that, but a tie meant the Raiders would go to KC, and we would've played Cincinnati , lol! Staley was just stupid and the REAL fu was going for it in essentially a wild card game, from your own 18, and not only that but run THE EXACT same play , that got stuffed on 3rd down, giving the Raiders a free FG!!and we lost by 3!!Had he not done that, the throw to Mike as time ran out , would have been thr game winner!
@@rickpeterson8825 100% agree the raiders wouldn’t have settled for a tie, I was just pointing out how stupid you have to be to call a timeout when there was literally no need too I mean come on. And I agree with everything else you said poor Herbert playing his heart out only to be let down by everyone else around him.
@@TheUnknown-qz4un i mean, the Raiders were moving the ball pretty well before Staley called a TO
Chris Harris played while Herbert had that game a against the raiders lol dude just wants clout off a headline
3 years tops of not less... Superbowl!!!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💙💙💙
You do a great job on these videos. Superlative research. The Staley era was a disaster.
Chris Harris has some nerve, how many TD’s and catches did he give up again?
Chris Harris got burned so many times like why would you open your mouth
✅
#10 with an O-Line is a problem.
👊🏾⚡️🆙🏈
I feel dirty to be here this early
😂😂😂😂 same I'm a top 5 commenter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Depressurize Herbert to maximize his performance.
Anyone can give an opinion which is way way different from a fact.
Chris Harris Jr and JC Jackson are the same person 🤷🏿♂️
It's all in the Harbaugh recipe ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Gonna finish top 3 MVP this year and win it next year.
Chris Harris that’s a not so smart comment! 🤷🏻♂️
Chris Harris is a bum. Tell em I said it 😂
That raider game says otherwise.
That's a fool talking 😮
11:01 - what is Zion doing 😂
wtf was clapp doing?
saw a video where Greg Roman and another coach were praising Herbert for learning 3 different offenses in 3 years. Yeah, with even amediocre defense, Herbert would have won more games and made the playoffs. I hope Telesco sucks as bad for the raiders as he did for the chargers. Ihope Herbert makes all his doubters eat crow this year. I hope all our new receivers are good and that we can get lots of explosive plays where they burn defenses deep.
Fan since 95 and he’s the real deal. He’s proven that year in a year out injured or not already has most tds and yards in a season franchise record I just hope the team finally does the same go chargers⚡️⚡️⚡️
Recommendation Video: LA Chargers Record Prediction for 2024 Season
can you actually make a vid on herbert having 4th quarter leads and them getting blown
Our offensive line has never been strong under herbert and the defense was horrible when we had staley. Those are the top 2 things that are important for a qb to succeed
Harris wtf dude
awesome video !
Let 'em say whatever they want. The Chargers have to start winning. That will close all the negative cases.
damn bro, all those drops of perfect herbo passes is tough to watch😩
Love the way you put things into perspective 🔥
Awesome content bro ,
5th im top 5 😂😂
The Chargers organization needs to take accountability also. They told ekeler that they will get another RB to help him just how Melvin Gordon was his Batman. They never got him another RB and they still wanted him to play like a RB1. Ekeler was never a RB1 but the chargers wanted him to perform like one every year with no RB to help him
ECKLER wanted to be a running back 1 he just wasn't able to pound the rock. Hell you mean take accountability Eckler was a damn touch down machine. He wasn't doing his damn job last year PLAIN AND SIMPLE whether it was another back there last year what did HE DO with his opportunities? He could hardly rush the ball and close games out either.
@@joffyjoffa ekeler wanted to be paid more than 4 million per year if you want him to get your 20 tds and be the rb1.. my point is that ekeler was his best when he has another RB 1 who was the 1st down / 2nd down back. Once Gordon left they relied on ekeler to over produce for little money with no help.. try be unbiased
@@Mr.Reality-b4m He didnt get paid any more than what he got paid here by ANYONE. So save that and no we didn't want his 20 TDS no one care enough to pay him like that CLEARLY as he both tested the market and free agency. Furthermore more the Chargers were smart enough to know MOST OF HIS TDS CAME INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE. And that's why his yardage didn't add up to his TD production WHICH WAS ONLY TWO YEARS.
The team would drive down field in Chunk plays and he would punch it in and get inflated stats. He SURE AS HELL was no help vs the jags when we couldn't run the ball and finish games. He was NEVER doing that he is a receiving scat back not a every down back. PERIOD.
@@Mr.Reality-b4m Eckler got paid more than 4 mil and did he get more than what the chargers gave WHICH WAS 6 mill after he BOTH tested free agency and a trade? NO NO ONE GAVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED which was MUCH more than 4 mil closer to 10 mill get the facts straight. The Chargers and the rest of the league was smart enough to know most of his TDs came in the red zone when the rest of the team would move the ball down field. That's why his yardage ESPECIALLY rushing didn't add up to the TD production.
And that was ONLY TWO YEARS BTW YES TWO so save that 20 TD BS those were inflated stats. He sure as hell couldn't close games out for the chargers either. Games like the Jags in the playoffs when he couldnt pound the rock and seal the win. He doesn't close out games or run the ball effectively when team needs it.
@@joffyjoffa you’re missing the point. Austin was always suppose to be a complimentary RB1 that’s why he signed that cheap deal… once Gordon left they did not replace him but they still relied on a small RB like ekeler to carry the load. He was able to do something for two years but the chargers should have signed another RB a long time ago.. that’s why I said accountability
It’s interesting that you blame Ek for his lack in the run game but you don’t blame Jus10 for pressures and sacks.
Ek would kill it if he was on our Squad this year. Why? Because we finally have a good OLine.
Ek was never a down hill between the tackles rusher, he even admitted that himself before signing with Washington. He wouldn't have been a good scheme fit with Roman calling plays. Herbert can improve on many little details but his sack to pressure rate is one of the best in the league
Let’s jus see how Justin does without Keenan
What , We have seen this MANY of times in his 4 years here with Allen ? EVERY single 1 of his offense weapons HAVE missed [GAMES ] in seasons , and I'm NOT talking about a couple of games, EITHER ! Hell they HAD to brake his finger on BOTH hands , just to get Herbert OFF the field .
Chris Harris isnt wrong. Herbert doesnt have the 4th down clutch factor.
He has 14 game drives which is #1 in the NFL since he has been a pro from 2020-2023. He showed the PROOF in this video. So what are you talking about?
@@joffyjoffa he doesnt win games when it matters. How many games have lost with the ball in his hand
@@buzzington90 Your LYING I just refuted your BS and proved HE HAS DONE IT THE MOST AT THE QB POSITION what are you talking about? HE HAS THE WORSE RUNNING GAME AND DEFENSE OF ALL THE TOP QBs dose that not have anything to do with winning? He can't block for himself, kick field goals and coach that's a TEAM thing when it comes to wins and loses. WAKE UP 🤷🏾♂️
But when it comes to the QB POSITION which is all ANY QB CAN CONTROL. He has done it THE MOST of ALL THE QBS since he has came into the league. 14 times LOOK IT UP. 🤦🏽♂️
@@joffyjoffa that one playoff game he had he didnt do shit the whole second half. I understand he has a shitty D but you have to win games and playoff game to have that clutch factor. IDK why you getting upset over it. Im a die hard Chargers fan im just saying Herbert still need to show us more on 4th QT.
@@buzzington90 Man GTFOH you go caught in a lie and NOW you want to reference THAT ONE game. He only had Keenen and he was triple teammed while Mike Williams didn't play. He had ZERO running game that's why they couldn't control the clock and protect the lead. Oline also played TERRIBLE as well.
He's right. The end of the game is when Herbert fails. It doesn't matter why. Either you win, or you don't. I hope he plays better this year.
It’s a team that wins or loses.
Not a player.
@@user-jc7ep2xp1c Win and losses are a QB stat. Cut it out. You’re right, but that not how we judge. Herbert needs to lead us to win. I’m tired of y’all protecting him. He needs to get it done!
Hebert is a stud but he does make some questionable throws. He is still learning and has lots to prove. He will be okay 👍🏽
Every qb has made some questionable throws. Needless to mention.
@@user-jc7ep2xp1c ehh true to a extent. But when you want to win you can't make those type of throws.
Chris Harris needed to step up and play better in the 4th quarter himself….he smelled like toast….burned constantly.
