It is not often you go from one franchise quarterback to another but fortunately for the Chargers, they seem to be the rare exception.
Former Chargers quarterback spent his final NFL season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2020, opening the door for who everyone expected to be the starter… Tyrod Taylor. However, an unfortunate medical mishap sidelined Taylor following week one, thrusting sixth overall pick Justin Herbert into the spotlight.
In his first start, Herbert threw for 311 yards and a touchdown in a narrow defeat at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs. That was only the beginning for the Oregonian as he went on to throw for 31 touchdowns in 15 games, breaking Baker Mayfield‘s rookie record. Unfortunately, the Chargers finished 7-9 and out of the playoffs but Herbert’s performance was good enough to earn him Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and change the future outlook of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Ep 135: 49ers Move To 3-0, NFC South Buy or Sell, Week 3 Picks/Predictions

PODCAST: The Eye Test For Two Ep 76: Fox Sports Rules Analyst Dean Blandino Joins
During the Chargers win over the Raiders last week, Herbert became the first quarterback to have 500 completions before his 20th start. In addition, his 40 touchdowns are fifth-most all time during a quarterback’s first 20 starts. With one more start to go, Herbert could pass Tony Romo (43) for fourth-most with four touchdowns against the Browns.

Both Kurt Warner and Dan Marino are Hall of Famers and many believe Patrick Mahomes is well on his way so for Herbert to be among this group is special. On top of his gaudy touchdown total, Herbert has 5,514 yards in 19 games. He would need 397 yards against the Browns to pass Warner for second-most passing yards in 20 career starts. Once again, Mahomes tops the list with 6,576.
