Chargers Banking on McDaniel to Unlock Herbert in Make-or-Break Camp
After another disappointing playoff exit, the Chargers open training camp looking to maximize quarterback Justin Herbert's talents under coordinator Mike McDaniel.
The Chargers are done wasting Justin Herbert's arm talent. After another disappointing playoff exit, they're bringing in coordinator Mike McDaniel to finally unlock what everyone knows is there.
Herbert's got the goods - we all know this. The question has always been scheme fit and supporting cast. McDaniel's quick-strike offense is built to maximize quarterback Justin Herbert's talents, which means fewer checkdowns, more vertical shots, and Herbert operating in space where he thrives.
This is a make-or-break camp. Herbert's in his prime window. The Chargers either figure out how to get the most out of him now, or they're wasting one of the league's best arms. McDaniel's system should help, but execution matters. Watch how quickly the offense gels in pads.
